At work we occasionally do the thing where everyone brings in food. I normally make something called a dump cake. Don’t jump to any conclusions, it’s just that you basically just dump the ingredients in one by one and then cook it. Easy peasy. Since this was for a Halloween party though, I thought I’d attempt to get creative. Here’s my half-improvised recipe (pic below):

Costume Roundup
At work today we had our annual dress-up for Halloween and I thought I’d cover a summary of the marketing department (in which I work).
First, here’s my outfit. It takes a little of, shall we say, calculation….
The Joy of Parenthood
You may think I’m cruel for laughing at this, but just so you know, I didn’t laugh the first time. It wasn’t until I was sure he was okay that I thought it was funny. But it is funny.
How to Create Custom Ring Tones Using iTunes and Windows Sound Recorder
As soon as I got my Sony W300i cell phone as an upgrade with my plan, I found out you could use your own custom ringtones with it as long as they were 20 seconds or less and in mp3 format. After much research, I couldn’t find a solution that was free that I liked. So I decided I could use some pretty basic software to accomplish the same thing. It’s a little complicated, but pretty easy once you get it. I’ll be using two programs, and one of them is exclusively Windows, unfortunately. If anyone knows about a Mac app that’s as simple and basic as Windows Sound Recorder, be sure to put it in the comments. I’m also not sure if this handy little program is standard on Vista, so if you know one way or the other, mention that as well.

Ok, I’ve got a hypothetical situation that I need some additional thoughts on. Let’s say that I (hypothetically) worked for a company that decided in its infinite hypothetical wisdom that buying links would be a good way to achieve rankings for certain key terms. So, this link-buying company hypothetically signs a hypothetical contract with another company for something in the order of 1,500 links from blogs over a period of a few months.
