   I've taken note of your email address and I'll certainly let you know. I'm not far off from being able to provide testing access to the data through a RESTful API, so you should hear from me within a couple of weeks.

   Hi Travis, As much as I'd hate to give away my secret, Google does have a RESTful API available to its search results. Best of all, it's in JSON! http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&#3...

   This is actually something I've been doing as a side project but it's not something I can give you access to right now. There are other "rank tracker" services, but none of them are instant. SEOmoz has one, which will allow you to enter up

    There are plenty of reasons why you should use Django or Rails over the other, but I rather discuss why maybe you shouldn't use Django. I haven't used Rails, so I will not be discussing that side of the coin. Django is a wonderful framewo

    I'll read them all over the next couple of hours. (I am sick in bed anyhow :)) Readings that I recommend are "The Great Jackass Fallacy" (I got my copy <$10 on Amazon) and "Drive" by Daniel Pink. There's also a Youtube/TED video that su

    Yeah. What exactly is a "first-quality software developer" and who is qualified to assign that label to one?

    He wants his money back because he can't find a job in his field? Has he never met a History major? Literature? Political Science? Economics? Unless the Dean got his wife pregnant, this sounds like a personal problem.

    This idea goes in the opposite direction of what Daniel Pink talks about in his book "Drive" ( or TED talk here: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html ) What Daniel Pink says is that extrinsic motivators (such as money,) ha

    Sure, but there's "profiling" and there's "racial profiling." One of them is expected, the other starts riots. Also, FWIW, "criminal profilers" were recently featured in cracked.com's "The 6 Most Statistically Full of Shit Professions" htt

    In this case it was "big company" versus "small company who is selling the same data." The real issue seems to be that "small company who is selling the same data" feels that "big company" stole from them (instead, they should have bought t
