Tech It Like A Man!

Well, I am no longer writing for The Tech Planet, but it’s all good. I get to devote my time to this blog and other ventures.

I did get two articles published over there, though. You should definitely check them out. One was about the new search engine Wikisari and the other was about this interesting new technology that lets people have family dinners together while being in different places around the world.

Both technologies are great innovations. I have talked about them previously here. I enjoyed writing those posts for them and they enjoyed those posts *hence why they are published, haha*.

They update regularly so check them out. I write more about what I think of the tech here so don’t forget to check me out first!

From time to time I write opinion pieces for which I receive compensation. The opinions are all my own, but any claims about the product should be taken up with the manufacturer. I only speak my mind and speak the truth as I know it. Hope you enjoy my candid attitude in my posts. I would never sell my soul for a buck. If I post positively about something it’s because I believe in it. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t tell you a lie.

A new expedition is preparing to launch this Wednesday in search of new Earth-like planets. This is the first spacecraft ever built that can find planets that are similar to Earth’s size outside the solar system.

The expedition is being led by the French space agency Cnes. They will be taking Corot out for the first time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

We’ve been waiting 25 years to get such a mission in space. Prof. Ian Roxburgh, Queen Mary astronomy professor

The mission is not just set to look for planets, but stars as well. They are looking for more information on a star’s life span and evolution.

Silent Bits has a list of seventeen tips to increase page rank and site visibility. The tips outline easy ways to build momentum and readership of your website or blog. It’s an arduous process with over one million blogs being updated every day across the globe, but it usually only takes about three to six months to get a page rank. Continuous updating is a must.

Use the spell check and make sure that your content is clear and concise. Make your archives easy to find. Double check that you have made the layout easy for the search spiders to crawl and see what is pertinent.

Remember, FRESH interesting content is key.

Music lovers and technogeeks have to love this charmer. The electronic music stand can flip pages with the pat of a foot pedal, download music so you never have to lose your pages, and even add notes with a keyboard. Simple, sleek, expensive. I think it’s awesome just for the fact that musicians never again have to wonder what happened to their music at the last minute! Take a gander at the product page from Schlemmer.
