    Nowhere, Wyoming

    The silence is unsettling as we enter the cafe. It’s a sleepy town – Nowhere, Wyoming.

    We glance around the wood paneled, yellow room. The vinyl chairs and small tables are familiar. Yet the scene utterly disconcerting.

    Man in a Box

    I’m 6’4″, can’t touch my toes, and am somewhat claustrophobic.

    Despite that, I spend a lot of time in boxes. Kinda like cats. But, you know… not.

    You do NOT want me on your basketball team. You will lose.

    In seventh grade I tried to fit in by joining both the basketball and football teams, the latter of which I quit almost immediately. Couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out where to put all those goddamn pads and I finally drew the line at that cup thing.

    Off The Wagon

    Today I broke my streak. And I had a good one going. We’re not talking hours or days here, but weeks. Pretty epic really, maybe even a personal best but I’ll need to confirm that. What is this impressive streak, you ask? Weeks and weeks of groggy early morning anxiety and mental fatigue.

    Why have I been feeling like ass in the morning?

    How To

    How to Find the Largest, Most Bandwidth-Heavy Files on Your Site

    At first glance it’s a simple fix. Simply look at the most heavily trafficked pages and posts and find the largest files on those pages and reduce or replace them. Unfortunately for us our most heavily trafficked posts yielded no such culprits.

    Affiliate Marketing for the Rest of Us

    This article appeared first in the InMotion Hosting newsletter

    First, a disclaimer: We are not affiliate marketers. At least not in the traditional sense.

    According to nearly every article on affiliate marketing, achieving success is a complicated, cut-throat endeavor requiring loads of time and training and writing and list/link building and advertising and researching and reputation building and gaming and social media-ing, and… well, the list goes on and on.

    For many this actually sounds like an endless source of fun and adventure. For us this sounds like an endless source of misery. Fortunately, there’s always another way.
