Nan really has an eye for art. What more if he studied Fine Arts instead of Philosophy at the Ateneo. Hmmm. I think I need to replace my header now with some great photography. *Ahem. Click here for Nan’s People and Potraits.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

- Theodore Roosevelt @ Sorbonne 1910

Screwey

Google really sucks. Although devil incarnate Matt Cutts wouldn’t confess, or maybe because the Google Search Quality Team “accidentally” forgot to tell him,  there has been another industry shaking, show you who’s boss happening at the Google SERPs.

Search Engine Land called this the Google “Dewey” Update.  I call it the “Screwey” Update. Why? My beloved site got penalized! If you Goog search using the domain name as keyword, the SERPs wouldn’t show the exact URL. Worst, beloved site landed #50 on the search results. Man, from #26 to #50? That’s insane! And because of this my daily unique visitor stats were devastated. This ultimately translates to poor revenue which actually is the main purpose of our client websites.

We gots screwed alright. Man, this is gonna be a long week. Damn algorithm changes. Making me a whore to the web then suddenly giving us SEOs warm bitchslapping. Well, this is what’s fun in my job. Search Engine Optimization is so unpredictable. But hey Google, the fight ain’t over. Were gonna fight for our rank.
