I can't tell if the affiliate link is hidden or not. Traditionally Amazon affiliate usernames are "username-20" and as you can see in the URL the pattern does exist, only with a strange username: "_0" http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN

First and foremost 30 pageviews per visit is amazing. That's a bounce rate of about 3% which is nearly unheard of (porn site? :)). Asking for 2 years of income is a good general rule. Also factor in growth rates over the next 2 years. Estim

This was always my biggest complaint with OpenID. I'm glad Google did something about it. Perhaps others will follow suit. Users are comfortable using an e-mail address as an identity. Everyone has an e-mail address. This makes sense to e

Right, I've heard Ballmer scream "Developers, Developers, Developers" just like everyone else--but what are they doing about it (when it comes to search)? The best I can find is Live Search API: http://search.live.com/developer/ Which is

This is a big win for Yahoo. I think they're realizing developers are their best chance to stay in the game, so they're opening up anything and everything in an attempt to hold on. Definitely a smart move. I'm mostly interested in YQL (Yaho

Thumbs up for the Modest Mouse reference. I realize the actual line is "people who love bad news" but close enough to make me smile.

Sure, you can contact me at bjasper@gmail.com I'd be more than happy to go over in more detail some of the stuff I just mentioned. Getting into natural language processing gets difficult extremely fast, so I'm not sure how well I can explai

Very cool, I was actually working on a start-up that suggested available domain names, and the Markov-Chain was just one of the ways I did this. I'd also suggest looking into Natural Language Processing, (Great Python toolkit - http://nltk

Initially switching to table-less design is harder. CSS has its own quirks in every browser that can drive a developer mad. That being said there's a few very good reasons to use a pure CSS design. More accessible : Specifically I'm thinki
