Green Llama

The first month of 2007 is behind us, and all I can think is what a year this is going to be! Across the board, and without exception, January was my best month with regards to making money online. Total net profit was up a whopping 71% from December 2006. That’s [...]

That makes Q4 2006 a record quarter for Google - and with their success, that’s saying a lot.  Revenue for the quarter was up 67%, or $3.2 billion, while profit was $1.03 billion American dollars, which is almost triple the $372 million they made in Q4 2005.  It sounds like that whole quality score [...]

Here’s a look at the Green Llama posts that got the most eyes in front of them during the month of January 2007 -

Cowgirls Espresso
Teacher faces oral sex charges
Nipple Enlargement Surgery
Thong Thursday Crackdown
High school teachers appears topless on Myspace ( Boy that’s an old one )
Nothing particularly though-provoking in that bunch, but good posts [...]

The longer you wait, the harder it gets. The box gets bigger all the time, and it isn’t going to stop. What was once a great,

different, very ‘outside the box’ idea isn’t anymore. Your great idea today could become mainstream and boring tomorrow. Better to be first than “me-too”.

When you think of girls that are going to school for engineering - you probably don’t picture them as particularly attractive. In fact, you’re probably thinking about the mousy girl who has her nose stuck in a book all the time; the girl who isn’t much to look at.
Well, the girls at the [...]

I normally don’t just like to a site without a picture to give you an idea of what you’ll find, but I definitely can’t post any of the pictures from this site here. It’s called Naked Protesters, and it’s filled with pictures

of protests from around the world. You know, the kinds of [...]

I always knew Mac lovers were obsessive, but I had no idea that it went so far. Apparently there’s even a Mac Chick of the Month. Meet Teemaree, the girl with the world’s stupidest name. But hey, she loves Macs, or at least poses in pictures with them while being scantily [...]

If you’re like me, you’ve already gotten about 8 emails promoting the Day Job Killer, the newest way to make money online.  If you’re one to believe they hype, then you already know that Day Job Killer will allow you to beat the system by using proven techniques perfected by industry experts. 
If you’re like me, [...]

Every time you read about horrible customer service experiences, Sears is bound to pop up. They’re a major retail company, so that’s to be expected. The part that gets me is when people misinterpret the “Satisfaction Guaranteed” slogan. Yes, Sears wants happy customers, every retail chain does. But some amount [...]

It’s coming - just 5 days left. If you haven’t ordered flowers yet, you probably should. Don’t be the idiot who forgets to get his wife or girlfriend flowers. You don’t want to be single on February 14th, do you?

Thirty bucks - you can swing it.  And don’t wait till the last [...]

Ok, so I’m thinking about getting a Sprint Mobile Broadband card with the unlimited plan. Yea, the plan is expensive at $60/ month, but it would make my life a little bit easier, so I think it’s worth it. My problem is that I have no idea which card to pick. Sprint’s [...]

If you’re a reader of Technosailor.com ( and you should be, if you’re not now ) then you already know about it. Just in case you’re living in a cave, then you should know that Technosailor is for sale. The sale is running through a Sitepoint auction, with a Buy it Now price of [...]

Nusuni.com graciously did a review of the Green Llama - and I have to say that it scored pretty darn well.  I won’t spoil the whole review ( follow that link to check it our yourself ) but a score of 9/10 for uniqueness is pretty strong!  Random crap is a beautiful thing, and makes [...]

If you’re the kind of woman who likes to listen to her iPod, but somehow feels unfulfilled while doing so, then the OhMiBod iPod vibrator may be just the thing you’re looking for. The OhmiBod hooks up to your iPod through the audio jack, and vibrates and pulses to the beat of [...]

Wordpress is my blogging engine of choice - I’ve been through two others, and Wordpress is my favorite by far. That doesn’t, however, make it flawless or perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

One of the biggest faults of Wordpress is duplicate content. Between the post itself, the index, archives, feeds, and tags [...]

Barack Obama is all but a lock to run for President of the United States of America in the 2008. I don’t know if he’s the first black man to run for President ( though I can’t think of another ). If it matters, Obama is actually half black and half white - [...]

If you’re looking for a good, inexpensive way to promote your site, you can buy a link here on the Green Llama. Text Link Ads is one of my favorite sponsors, and that link there will give you a $100 coupon to spend how you will. So sign up, and buy a link here [...]

I was putzing around on Technorati this afternoon, when I took notice of the top searches, as I do every now and again. Number 10 on the list is a lady named Tammy Nyp. Now usually the top searches are people or things that I’m familiar with, but I hadn’t the slightest idea [...]

This time around, it’s nothing major, and no new features.  Wordpress 2.1.1 is a bug fix / security update release.  With that in mind, you should take the time to upgrade - any security hole is potentially serious, and should be fixed immediately. 
The Wordpress team says this is a low-medium priority upgrade, but [...]

Jeff Kee made up a term called Search Engine Query Reciprocity, or SEQR, for short.  I personally would have shot for an easier name to say, especially since the average person can’t pronounce reciprocity, but hey, I’m not judging.
The jist of SEQR is to examine your search logs, see what people are searching for, [...]

Michael Gray, aka Graywolf, famous for his SEO blog, has a problem. See, he bids on his name, Michael Gray, on Adwords. Naturally, his name appears all over the place on his site - in fact, it appears on every single page as far as I can tell.
The problem is that Adwords gave [...]

After my recent post, Is America ready for a black president? , some people thought I had a valid question, while others thought I was on the racist side.  It is what it is, and it’s a touchy subject for sure, so it’s hard for me to get offended when called a racist in that [...]

One can never have too many comments, regardless of the topic at hand. Topics mean that people are interested, and want to join in the conversation. However, people are lazy ( I’m one of them ), and don’t always like to comment. I try to make it as easy as possible here, [...]

Often I go back and forth about which is a better use of my time - blogging, or creating individual mini-sites. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and I can’t seem to decide which is a better choice.
Why blogs are better
Flexibility
Blogs allow a lot more freedom of thought than a static website does. I [...]

There’s a post over at Frantic Industries that lists services that you would still use if they weren’t free. Here’s their list:
Netvibes
Google Calendar
Wordpress
Google Maps
Yahoo! Pipes
My list is quite a bit different, but here goes.

Wordpress. I never would have tried it if it wasn’t free, however if it went to a paid model I [...]

Always have papers or a file in your hand as you walk.  Always 
Walk with your head down, staring at said papers.  If you’re too busy to put down your papers while you’re walking, you must be very busy.
If you cannot find papers and you must walk, hold your cell phone up to your ear and [...]

Baltimore has officially banned smoking in bars - so we can say that their biggest problem is solved. Yes, the Murder Capital of America has banned smoking inside of bars - Wooha!
Nevermind the ridiculously high murder rate ( especially horrible considering the small size of the city ), rape, armed robbery, and various violent [...]
