I’ve mentioned my consulting work a few times now on this blog but so far, the details have been kept relatively quiet. On July 27, I intend to change that. A few months back, I acquired the domain northcutt.com, registered Northcutt Consulting Group, LLC, and began all of the basic organizing necessary in forming a […]

Evolution of the Google Algorithm
The last two Google updates (especially Farmer/Panda) have pretty well shaken the whole web; and I can echo this with my own large-scale test sites. I found this cool graphic over at SEOBook that gives a little history of past Google-dances. I’d like to preface it with 3 points of my own minor critique: […]
The Antikythera Mechanism
This is great. […]
Something New
“Our knowledge is the amassed thought and experience of innumerable minds.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson For a long time now I’ve run stunt double websites to test different promotion tactics in the wild, rather than doing the experimenting on my corporate sites.

Looking at the first picture, the blog you’re reading right now came from the 3rd ghost containment grid from […]

The Sundial
A subtle but important change happened to the one of our websites this past week that I’ve been getting asked about a lot. The most plain, but arguably, most important website we own finally had its brand image made, only a year late. The design itself is another credit to Gary‘s awesome work, the design […]
Google and Gadgets
