darren on September 30th, 2008

Maybe it’s because I’m a dad now that I find this so amusing…but I don’t think so. I dare you not to giggle along

kudos to Tiny Prints for the find

IM Fun

darren on December 5th, 2007

I love IM. Here’s why - I was greeted with this blinking IM window when I came back to my desk:

 

 

Nico!

darren on December 1st, 2007

I haven’t posted in weeks but I think my baby boy deserves a post to himself.

Dominic Michael Dalasta
“Nico”, “Dom”, “Gillypop” (don’t ask)
He’s a happy little guy.
Born: 10/7/07.9 lbs 1 oz
Full head of hair
Vikings fan
Has his own website already, but he’s not allowed on myspace yet - dad will be closely monitoring usage
Likes it when you fake hiccup

Thanks to all family & friends for all the gifts, love, and support. It’s been an incredible life-changing experience.

I’ve also learned a ton of new keywords because of this experience. From collicky to thrush to laction consultant (which I picked up lactationconsultant.com - sweet)

DMA website says please “fixme”

darren on April 10th, 2007

An SEO seminar on Insider Secrets from a “Master”. Apparantly being a master means you don’t have to worry about such things as title tags or functional navigation.

Gotta love this: <title>titlefixme</title>

Someday the Direct Marketing Association is going to surprise us all and show how they really do understand this internet thing everybody is always talking about.

UPDATE 5/17: nice work guys, you fixed your title.  Next step, firefox support for your nav.

Image DE-optimization

darren on March 27th, 2007

Not every post or page needs an image. If you’re really struggling with an image to go along with the article or profile you’ve just written, just don’t do it. Seriously. Here are 2 examples of pages gone very wrong. If you - as a reader - are able to make it through the content without losing focus to the train-wreck images you have way more focus than me. No offense guys.

thanks to Marshal for showing me this
