  • Take one part love story, two parts SNES references, six parts awesomeness, let it stew in the fridge for a few days, remember it, freak out and race back, and you'll find Scott Pilgrim waiting there. So why did the movie lose millions of dollars?
  • As you probably guessed, my name is Jason M Ray. I'm a 26 year old guy from St. Louis, Mo. I spend my days as a software engineer for a flight simulator company. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in computer science in 2005. I wrote my first lines of code well over a decade ago, learning BASIC on a RadioShack TRS-80. Since then, I've written code in TI-BASIC, Z80 assembly, C, Perl, Java, C++, JavaScript, Prolog, PHP, and C#, among others. I've been a web developer for many years, having written my first website around 1998. I'm an amateur musician. I've been learning to play guitar since around 2006. I also consider myself an amateur graphic designer and cook (which means I sort of know what I'm doing, though things don't always turn out well). In general, I try to learn more things than I have time for. And I want to take up rock climbing. Seriously.. who wants to go with me?

  • I've been playing the hits on radio since 1981, starting on Cape Cod, and in Boston, Massachusetts where I grew up. (when The Sox and Patriots both broke everyone's hearts. Funny how things change.) After 3 years of Las Vegas culture-shock in the late 80's and early 90's I was looking for work and found myself in Cleveland in 1991 through some mutual radio friends and met Britney Spears back when she wasn't making people gag. It was there that I met an incredible Washington, Illinois girl named Wanda and made the best decision I'd made since getting into this crazy business. I chose to marry her and adopt her cats. By the way, my lovely wife, being from Central Illinois, has insisted that I let you know that when it comes to the Cubs/Cards debate, she comes down strongly on the side of the Cards. And now, with all that going for me, I also I get to play some of the best music ever recorded and have a blast wiith you in the St. Louis nighttime. I'm lovin' every minute of it and my..

  • They've faced down humans time and time again, but Fred Phelps and his minions from the Westboro Baptist Church were not ready for the cosplay action that awaited them today at Comic-Con. After all, who can win against a counter protest that includes robots, magical anime girls, Trekkies, Jedi and…kittens? Unbeknownst to the dastardly fanatics of the Westboro Baptist Church, the good folks of San Diego's Comic-Con were prepared for their arrival with their own special brand of superhuman counter protesting chanting "WHAT DO WE WANT" "GAY SEX" "WHEN DO WE WANT IT" "NOW!" while brandishing ironic (and some sincere) signs. Simply stated: The eclectic assembly of nerdom's finest stood and delivered. As you can see below, the fantastic fanboys delivered the the church a humorous dose of sweet fan justice. ComicsAlliance was there to witness the spectacle in full, which you can indulge in yourself after the jump.

  • Throughout my career in interactive marketing, I have maintained a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) checklist for my own use. I have updated the best practice guidelines for each item on the list along the way. It's by no means comprehensive, but I still find it extremely helpful as I approach any new project. I thought I'd share it with you and see what you might add to this list to help make it more useful. As with any check list, it needs to be broad enough to fit most websites, but most high-level SEO guidelines generally are that broad. The other thing to keep in mind with SEO is that the formulas are not definite. Google does not publish the exact formula for title tag length or keyword frequency/density, but throughout years of SEO expert analysis and commentary, these general best practices have come to light and tend to drive top 10 results for medium to long-tail keywords for any business with a relatively "search engine friendly" site. I will tell you that the last few

  • "The Free Database about the St. Louis Area that anyone can edit!"
  • When it comes to free software, the open-source community certainly has a monopoly on high-minded posturing and puffy rhetoric. Just take a look at the Philosophy page of the GNU operating system's website: "Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer. Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, it means that the program's users have the four essential freedoms." But when it comes to free software, those free-loving, free-wheeling open sourcers have an unlikely challenger: Microsoft. Yes, you heard us right, Microsoft: the ice to Fedora's fire; the night to Ubuntu's day. But as unlikely as it may seem, Redmond actually has a thriving – though largely unsung – library of free applications available to download. And we're not just talking about freeware cobbled together in bedrooms by people who don't get
