There are always incredible releases I miss until "best of 2025" lists come out. Lambrini Girls' Who Let The Dogs Out is one of those records. Such a powerful, angry, and entertaining punk record.

The google e-commerce experience is so terrible. I've always felt it was intentionally terrible to steer people towards ads. So I have little hope for LLM shopping, even with UCP standards.

i keep looking for where Jesus said fuck around and find out but all I keep finding is this pesky "love thy neighbor" verse

I saw a guy wearing a "prompt engineer" hat on the subway once and I think it was ironic but I don't know for sure and I think about it a lot

"prompt engineering" feels like a fever dream and that term popped off just last year

We saw the same thing. Almost all the keywords were high level, generic search terms. The spike was so sudden that we have assumed it's bots.

@techseoconnect.bsky.social was such a treat this year. I met so many fascinating people doing really cool work, drank a lot of delicious wine, spoke to artists and experts in unique spaces, and got to enjoy the always lovely Durham, NC. Can't wait for next year!

By canceling our Amazon Prime, we took our Amazon spending from $6k in 2024 (Amazon + Amazon Fresh) to $700 in 2025. ~$350 of that $700 was from before cancelling our account at the end of January. Not perfect, but the impact we could have collectively would be powerful.

I'm reading Children of Ruin right now and that book has gotten downright spooky. An unexpected but fun twist for October

like a good little SEO, I downloaded Atlas and wow I don't like this one bit

The second book was so good! A great series.

SEO is cyclical and goes like this: this is neat > i should try that > crisis of faith > repeat

in a heavy world, sometimes it just feels good to get back to classics: deleting a few thousand blogs off a site #SEO

first day off fall and all I want is a grilled cheese with cheddar and apple butter.

I was gifted a not fully functioning Leica IIIc with 50mm f2 lens. I think youtube university has given me an unfounded confidence that I can fix this myself

oh, and that new Matt Maeson album. 12 seconds in and I was like yep, this is for me

Good new music the past few weeks. I've been enjoying the new La Dispute and Die Spitz records specifically.

what happened to the prompt engineers?
