As the internet, tech, gaming, and computers has become more and more a big part of our lives, nerd/geek culture has become more mainstream. I don’t keep up with the latest gadgets but I do consider myself a big internet culture geek. I mean, I spend more time online than sleeping and I sleep a lot. (It does help that I pay the bills with online marketing.)
Anyways, I find it always interested when pop culture crosses geek culture. Remember the old cheesy pickup lines?
- Do you have a map? Cause I keep getting lost in your eyes.
- If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together.
- Your legs must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all night.
- You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy.
Well, here are some funny nerdy pick up lines from Forever Geek. My favorites are:
- Your place or my Mom’s?
- We can reach each other better if you disable your firewall.
- Your beauty has pwned my heart.
- You’re so much cuter than your avatar.

Aaron Wall:
You pick the market you want to play in, work at it for a few years, and you can do well enough to make a living. There are literally a million markets waiting for you (and more being built every day). And software keeps getting cheaper and more powerful. :D

I just wrote about a cool Google Analytics hack to do keyword research on long tail keywords and related terms.

My new post is up on Performancing:
There are many things that go into being successful in the problogging arena. Things like putting in the time and effort, determination, hard work, writing chops, and marketing savvy have been brought up by many people. But I think the most important thing doesn’t get talked about a lot. For the most successful bloggers, their biggest trait seems to be the ability to consistently produce conceptually new content over the long term.

Jason Fried from 37signals:
Most of the people I know who are money-making-machines got started really early. Lemonade stands, car washes, lawn mowing, baseball card trading. I think the reason they are money-making-machines today is because they started early. They learned the skills of negotiation, pricing, selling, and market-reading early. They have more practice selling than most people. That’s one of the reasons they’re better at it than most people.

I wrote up an article about the intriguing matchup on UFC 106. Lesnar and Carwin should be a war as these two guys are some of the biggest fighters in MMA today. Not only that, but they have been domination their opposition and they bring a lot of skill to the Octagon.

Great series of articles on ESPN about how the US Soccer Team did this summer. Each article talks about the atmosphere where they played. It includes stories of unruly fans and even how a game in the US was overrun by fans rooting for the visiting team.
