Okay, so this time I’m cheating with this post and using this 2011 horoscope email I received from a “friend” (don’t worry Linda I still love you LOL!) today. But if you live here or understand what life is like now in Nevada, you would not blame me. My suggestion is… just get other people to come to this blog and read their own 2011 horoscope. It will make your life so much easier. And, they are fun (and accurate!) reading. So here we go… your 2011 horoscope.

This is the real 2011 Horoscope deal

Try ignoring it, and the first thing you’ll notice is having a horrible day starting tomorrow morning . . . and it only gets worse from there.

Talk about the finite amount of bandwidth usage for the internet was the topic of the day a while back, but today the most pressing concern is the finite amount of internet ip addresses and the fact that the worldwide web is running out of them.

The History Behind Internet IP Addresses

Turns out that way back in 1976 when the Department of Defense (DoD) was busy connecting computers and creating what ultimately became the internet the rest of us use each day, they were sort of forced to put a number on just how many internet ip addresses the data network was going to need.

Sounding amazingly like a Bill Gates reverberation from the past about memory and RAM in an in-home computer, the DoD settled on 4.3 billion internet ip addresses as the magic number. Little did they know. After all, this whole network thing was “just an experiment” at the time.

Fast Forward 35 Years and the World is Running Out of Internet IP Addresses and How They Plan to Fix That Sticky Problem

Estimated to reach critical mass within the next year to year and a half, the scramble is on to ensure that Earth’s seven billion population doesn’t watch their internet ip addresses and connections go down in flames. Actually that’s a tad dramatic, the powers that be have been aware for quite some time now that there is this huge looming situation that must be dealt with as quickly and seamlessly as possible.

First, the SEOPressor is not shiny and new, I realize that. This WordPress SEO plugin also is not free. These are two factors you need to take into consideration as you contemplate my personal review of SEOPressor.

So, here’s what I think. If you get the whole idea of marking up your posts correctly as you write them – you understand the breakdown of headings, the use of bolding, italics, underlining, etc., in their proper places and amounts – you are 80% on your way to already making good use of SEO optimizing your WordPress post. But that remaining 20%? Well, that’s where the little ‘ol SEOPressor plugin comes into play.

In fact, knowing and applying these little writing nuggets actually prevented me from shelling out the very reasonable fee for either a one-domain use of SEOPressor or even the unlimited domain SEOPressor fee to get this plugin. I thought about the whole idea of spending money for about a month. My reasoning was simple because I figured, “Hey I already know this stuff.”

And then I got to really use the SEOPressor plugin (for completely free and no it wasn’t given to me but that’s another story) and as this story goes… I was blown away

Deadwood Fans Both Young and Old

My father was a huge “Old West” fan. Not just movies, but anything to do with the Old West. His bookshelves were lined with biographies and specifics on western towns and the people who populated them. And, the Deadwood series was a much-watch HBO show on his list.

The Old West Deadwood Style – Outlaws, Saloons, Brawls, and the Ever Popular Piano Player of Course

For me, I’d have to say the most interesting character from those days gone by is Annie Oakley. Yes, yes, I am a woman, but my choice is not just due to that fact. Let’s face it, in those hardened days of old, any woman who could rise to the top in any profession (other than the obvious), has my vote. The daughter of Quakers, she grew up to be one of the top traveling show marksman in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show (circa 1885). And, another quirky fact, Annie taught more than 15,000 woman how to use a gun. Now that’s influence
