My Visited States

Amy and Adam inspired me to do my own “Visited States” map - and I had the opposite reaction as Adam did after seeing my map - this is much more impressive than I thought it would be!

In full discosure, some of these states (Kansas, Indiana, Wyoming, New Mexico, a couple more) were basically just [...]

Dear World: I Got a New Job!

Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues (past, present, future), and complete strangers:
I’m happy to announce that I have accepted a position with Space 150 in Minneapolis, working in Search Engine Optimization.  I will probably write more about this in the coming weeks, and I’m thrilled to join such a brilliant group at ‘the Space.’  But first I [...]

I think I’ll write a book.

I’ve always said…that if I were to publish a book, I would publish it as “C. Lawton Key” because I think that sounds much more smartie-pants than “Craig Key.”  I could go for the full thing “Craig Lawton Key,” but that makes me feel like I’m in trouble or something [in a mother's yelling voice] [...]

Attention Brands: This is how you get me to like you.

Some haters are all up on the comments section of this video on youtube:

They are calling it out as a viral ad campaign from Nike (which–I would say is pretty likely, considering the nicely cropped zoom in shot of the cool shoes with the swoosh logo about 40 seconds in), which apparantly means it has [...]

Crazy seo idea for freetibet.org: link to it with “olympics” as the anchor text.

What???
Half of you (which would be 2 of you) don’t know what that means…but I just found a post about using SEO (search engine optimization) powers for good, and I thought it was a pretty sweet idea.  So here is the deal:
If you post a link to a site, you have to have “anchor” text–this [...]

25 Years: Ok, I’ll reflect

Today, I think I’ll start telling people how old I am.  I mean, I think 25 is respectable…isn’t it?  Not that I haven’t been respectable before now, in fact, I’ve always fancied myself to be a helluva guy (that’s the narcissist in me), but before today, when I was 24, or 23…or even when I [...]

I might just be endorsing a Microsoft product?!?!?

Ok, so if you know me very well, you know that I don’t generally like “Big Computer” (aka Microsoft) and its products.  I would rather not have to restart my PC 5 times a day, and I also don’t like paying large sums of money for software that is available elsewhere open-source style.  Plus…from [...]
