It’s not often I play a lot of games, mostly because I’m busy working hard on my sites. And the free time I have I usually just like to relax, we all know that some games can take up a lot of time (World of Warcraft etc.) so I normally don’t really get into games…
Checking Out Woopra
I received an e-mail a while ago asking me if I wanted to check out the Woopra beta. Having no clue what Woopra was I went on their website and discovered that it was web analytics software. Like most people I run Google Analytics on my sites for analytics and for the most part it…
Get Out and Vote Today!
Well today is the big day, the day you can go out and make a difference and vote! Honestly I hate politics, mainly because a lot of it is BS and it causes things like this to happen, which makes me wonder what is wrong with some people in this country. But as you are…
October Thoughts
Well I decided to start this type of post back up. I was doing it for a few months back in 2007, but then stopped. I think reflecting on the previous month is a great way to come up with new posts for your blog and looking at what people are actually reading can help…
My First Game of the Season
As most of you know I’m a huge hockey fan! Hockey is my favorite sport and I usually make it out to 4 or 5 penguins games a year. Usually I don’t go till later in the year but my friend Brian was nice enough to invite me to the game against the Flyers, of…
Are You Working Hard?
I made a post a while ago talking about how summer is over. That means that most people are going back to school or work. For me that means it’s time to dig in and work even harder. During the summer there is less internet traffic and it’s nice so you want to go out….
ThinkPenguins Launched!
As I said in an earlier post I wanted to start a Penguins blog. I love hockey and I’ve been watching the Penguins play for as long as I can remember. So over the past weekend I got to work on it since the season has started. I stuck with the “Think” theme that I…
Seriously, Don’t Vote
Someone sent me this video on YouTube the other day. It is quite funny and definitely catches your attention. The video was made by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and was created to engage and inspire young people to register and vote in the upcoming election. The video includes appearances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin…
Check out HoopStick!
A couple of weeks ago I saw a tweet about a site called HoopStick.com, the tweet said 500GB hard drive for $5! I was like damn I know storage is cheap, but not that cheap! So I decided to check out the site, and it was setup like that of Woot, selling one product a…
3 Reasons Why Your Website Isn’t Making Money
It’s so funny how many people think you can just put a website up with a little bit of content slap some adsense on it and you will be making enough to living off of it. So many people assume that is how I make money online, when in reality adsense really does not make…
Finally Hockey is Back!
This weekend was the kick-off of the NHL season! The NHL decided to start the season overseas in Prague and Stockholm to bring more attention to the NHL. It seemed like a cool experience for the players and good exposure for the NHL, but I’m really not a big fan of it. For one the…
Become Part of the Community
One great way to bring traffic to your site or blog is to become part of the community that surrounds your site. Many people know me as Bob from BobBuskirk.com, Bob from ThinkComputers, Bob from Justin.tv, or just Bob Buskirk. The thing is whatever your site is about you want to become part of that…
The [ED]ition Contest!
Fellow blogger Ed Lau is having a contest, and has put together a pretty good list of prizes! We will get to them in a second! Ed’s blog is one of my favorites and is on my bookmark list (I don’t use a RSS reader). Over the past few months I have been reading his…
Going Hard – 20 Days of Content!
Well if you have been checking out ThinkComputers lately you would have noticed something new on the site for the past 20 days! That is definitely a record for us! Normally we would be posting 3-5 reviews a week, but I decided to take it to the next level and really step it up. 7…
