Ramblings

Ambition

by Kristi on June 30, 2023


I always look forward to reading Lisa Barone’s bi-weekly newsletter from OverIt. I have been reading her for over 15 years. (Yes, I had to go snoop on her LinkedIn and remember that she started at Bruce Clay in 2006!) I could go on and on about her writing but you should just go subscribe. […]

Elemental

by Kristi on June 24, 2023


We watched Elemental, the new Pixar movie, yesterday. Sam, G, and I all cried. (G clarified that he cried once but he doesn’t remember which part!) Pixar does such wonderful movies. This one was very emotional (obviously!), beautiful, and quite touching. It had amazing imagery as well. There was a line at the end where […]

Besties and Trust

by Kristi on June 19, 2023


It’s been three years since Covid hit. Obviously, the years were difficult and quite an experience for the entire world. But what came out of that for each of us individually has been different. For me, lately I’ve been appreciating the moments spent with my loved ones. And the definition of loved ones includes the […]

Past Lives

by Kristi on June 18, 2023


Past lives are sort of a thing for me. I have vivid memories of reading Remembrance by Jude Deveraux back when I was 14 years old. I gave the book to several of my friends. My standout memory was sitting with Lindsay in an RV park where we were spending a few nights at the […]

Malware and Security Issues on your Hobby Blog

by Kristi on November 24, 2018


This poor blog. Who has time to write? Not me. But I still miss it. Last month I got a notification through Google Webmaster that someone else is an owner over my website. That isn’t good, I thought! But what did I do? Nothing. I didn’t have much time. But finally a few weeks later […]

The Day After

by Kristi on November 9, 2016


I still feel numb this morning. We have to move forward in peace for the next four years and I sincerely hope we can do that. I know we can try. We will get through this and we will be fine. But only if we work with each other.   This just reaffirms my need […]

Okay, it’s 2:45pm and I’m totally dragging. I almost want to take a nap but Dennis Yu came to the microphone and was high energy in introducing Merry and Kyle so let’s do this. Merry says to get comfortable between the two Facebook environment. Facebook assumes that Power Editor users are sophisticated and can play […]

The amazing Annie Cushing is moderator and introduced Craig Paddock up first. Craig starts up and wants to change the title to Advanced Content Research. He brings up boxing equipment and boxing gear, the current results are identical. This was not that way ten years ago and it started converging so Google considers those key […]

Live Blogging PubCon 2016: Neuromarketing in SEO

by Kristi on October 12, 2016


What does neuroscience have to do with SEO? Roger Dooley is here to educate us and after rave reviews from his Masters segment on Monday, I’m all ears. Google changed the game and continue to do so. What have they done to directly affect SEO? Trust. Early Google used PageRank algo to look at links […]

Live Blogging PubCon 2016: Keynote Robert Scoble

by Kristi on October 12, 2016


Robert takes the stage and jumps into the “fourth transformation” how AR and AI are changing everything. Going from old style mobile to new touch mobile, nokia and Blackberry really went away. The two waves or AR and VR are coming and coming fast! Robert goes over his background at UploadVR. Incidentally I got to […]

Live Blogging PubCon 2016: Links Up!

by Kristi on October 11, 2016


Yes! I see Kenny with the awesome green hat. I’m excited I get to hear him speak rather than moderate this time. I wandered into Links Up! because who doesn’t need links and David Klein is always fun to listen to. I’ve heard of Scott Polk before too so it sounded right up my alley. Although […]

Ahh, I have fond (was it really fond?) memories of Greg Boser helping me back in another life with real estate marketing. Real estate SEO was SUPER fun. It was though, and I had a really good interview back in… 2006? 2007? with Greg and one of the things I remember from that interview was […]
