2008 has been quite a year. I wasn't able to finish one big project I'd hoped to complete (I still need to learn to manage distractions better), but the year has seen a number of good developments, both business and personal. Here are some highlights:

My efforts to make "internet marketing guru" contacts that starte...

Russell Brunson's Zero to $100 Million Challenge started last week. I've been (and still am) pretty busy, so I just got around to joining today.

I've been following Russell and his company since last year a little before I launched my Guru Stalker website, and based on what I've already learned from him, I'm very...

I just uploaded version 2.0 of CaRP/WP (an RSS plugin for WordPress) to my server. CaRP/WP works with CaRP to display RSS feed content, including Amazon.com affiliate feeds and YouTube videos, in the posts and pages of WordPress blogs. This version also enables CaRP/WP to work as a sidebar widget.

I may as well say it before someone else does -- I'm a greedy S.O.B.! And by "greedy", I mean that I'd like to pay off credit cards, family members and medical bills and start saving some money.

I've released two new plugins for CaRP Evolution this week: One for podcasts and one for sorting.

I've decided that rather than getting a bunch of freebie seekers in...

A few months ago, I subscribed to the blog of super affiliate and author of The Super Affiliate Handbook Rosalind Gardner's blog. This morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see a review of my RSS to HTML converter script, CaRP Evolution on it.

Thanks Rosalind, and while I'm at it, thanks Shawn Collins for letting...

Twitter has a widget that you can use to display your latest update in your blog sidebar or elsewhere on your website. But it's...well, not perfect. I found that it was bigger than necessary for the text it contained, and the empty space didn't exactly enhance the look of my blog.

So I wrote my...

Magpie and CaRP are two popular RSS parser scripts, both written in PHP, but which is better? I did a quick comparison, and this is what I came up with. Yes, I am the creator of CaRP, so read carefully and decide for yourself whether you can trust me! I'll try to be as objective...

Every once in a while, I hear about another "National Something-Or-Other Day" or "National This-Or-That Month", and it makes me wonder. Who decides that August 5 will be "National Underwear Day"? (I'm not kidding about that one, by the way!)

Unless there's some Department of National Days and Months that I've never heard about, anybody...
