Good Times Hanging Out With Old Friends

Just spent the weekend with some friends from highschool. Good times were had by all.

Religion, Politics, and Beer… What Could Go Wrong?

ryantodd — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:05:04 +0000

So stop me if you’ve heard this one. I was sitting at a bar with a friend last night. We’ve been friends for about 5 years and know each other pretty well. We decided to go down the road of Blue vs. Red. What joys! My friend is a staunch Democrat where as I tend to lean towards Republican/Independent.

I’d continue the story but I think the title says it all.

To my friend Jonna

So my friend Jonna says that I’m creepy. Well, it’s not the first time I’ve heard that one.

I do think that I’m in a very cynical state of mind that has just started to let up from Monday. Sunday and Monday this week was a little brutal. However, my sanity is slowly starting to come back and I should be all better by Friday at approximately 3:30 PST.

(Hey Jonna, here’s your post)

Memorial Day: May 26, 2008 Part 2

ryantodd — Tue, 27 May 2008 16:28:11 +0000

Well this year’s Memorial Day weekend is over. It ended up being a good weekend while still being productive. I was able to get quite a bit of work done on some personal projects. For those of you who know me, this probably comes as no big surprise because I am a self proclaimed “workaholic”. On the other side of being a workaholic, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. All of this work is close to paying off (I hope). If it doesn’t, I’m moving to Mexico to live on the beach.

Memorial Day: May 26, 2008

Not sure what I’m doing for Memorial Day, but I’m sure it’ll be interesting. Most likely going to be getting some work done over at Department of Search and my Seattle Real Estate site. My Seattle real estate site is starting to get a little fun because it’s starting to hit in the top 10 search results for: Seattle real estate.

I Needed To Create A New Category

ryantodd — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:29:43 +0000

So I’ve created another category this morning. This new category will be all about holidays and will include those pesky times that are holidays but aren’t employer recognized holidays.

So, ninety-nine times out of a hundred I am usually taking the bus to wherever I need to go. Work, Downtown, etc, it doesn’t matter. If I’m going anywhere close, I’m taking the bus. It’s so much easier taking the bus rather than drive, fight traffic, fight to find parking, and so on.

So for the last couple of days I’ve found myself driving to work. Now I know you’re asking, “Ryan, how does this relate to your new category of Holidays”. Well, this week happens to be “Earth Day”. Apparently, all week is “Earth Day”. The irony is I am all for reducing my carbon footprint and here I find myself driving a Dodge Ram 1500 for all of a six mile round trip. I’m feeling a little guilty but I know that I’ll be taking the bus tomorrow.

As far as upcoming holidays go, you’ll have to return to see me express my delight or loathing and I know Cinco de Mayo is around the corner. You’ll have to stay tuned to see which site of the street it falls on.

Ranking For “Ryan Rose”

ryantodd — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:46:11 +0000

Being in the Search Engine Optimization industry, one of my ego driven pursuits is to rank #1 for my name. The domain www.ryantoddrose.com is relatively brand new and hasn’t established much trust or authority yet. However, in Yahoo, I’m ranking #3 and in MSN I’m ranking #21. Not bad for a domain that’s only a couple months old, few inbound links, and only a little content. My ranking in Google has improved from approximately #275 last week to#261 at the time of this post.

I went into this knowing that it will take some time to rank for my name in Google. Apparently for Google, I have some competition from Ryan Adams and a song that has “Rose” in the title. Also, there’s a journalist and a minor league pitcher to contend with. But that’s ok, I know that with Google patience is a requirement. Ryan Rose will prevail.
