Peter Da Vanzo I’m not going to link to it. There’s a childish “controversy� going on in the SEO/Blog community, which I suspect is yet more link baiting. Do your own digging, but I can assure you, it’s not worth your time. The problem I find with these “look-at-me� link bait schemes is this - the credibility of the participants drops. It’s all getting a bit tired. Are the writers writing about something that might interest me, or help me, or inform me? Or are they writing purely to attract links? I guess they might try and argue “both�. I’d say few people can do both well, and it shows. It’s already backfiring on these guys. If they care that little about the people who read their stuff, they don’t deserve to have people reading their stuff.

Here’s five things you may not know about me:
1. I have a Maine Coon cat named Annie. My friends think I’m nuts for spending $750 on a cat, until they meet Annie, then they all want to adopt steal her. Her job mostly involves generating a lot of fur, as good a test as any for domestic vacuum cleaners.
2. I’m married to Maria. She has a near inhuman level of tolerance for idiotic ideas.
3. Like Greg Boser, I played in hair bands in the 80’s. It was neither big, nor clever. My biggest love is music, and I play guitar, bass, and pretend to sing. I failed to get anywhere with the drums.
4. My second biggest love is food, and wine, and beer. I’m a great cook, if I do say so myself. I learned a lot from my grandmother, who was way better than I am. I was the only kid I knew who loved olives. This is a great book for simple, authentic Italian recipes. My favorite wine comes from here. I like Stella, and once spent an evening being driven all over Seattle looking for some. Needless to say, I wasn’t the one paying the cab fare (Microsoft was - yay Microsoft!)
5. I live in New Zealand, but I usually want to live everywhere I visit. I’m well traveled, which means I have developed a considerable loathing for the entire aviation industry. Getting off a plane in a place I’ve never seen before are two of lifes’ great pleasures.
