    January 21, 2010 in Web Marketing

    Over the last couple of weeks a couple of new site/service/apps have started getting popular on Twitter - and it’s causing me a bit of frustration.  Since 140 characters is too short to explain myself, a blog post was in order.

  2. Startup Weekend: West Michigan
    January 10, 2010 in Boyink Interactive News

    Huh…I announced this on Twitter a few days back but seem to have neglected announcing it here as well. 

    So - I’m happy to announce that along with the ElevatorUp folks I’m getting the ball rolling on hosting Startup Weekend in Grand Rapids on February 26th - 28th. 

    What is it?

    48 hours of pure business-building madness.

    There’ll be speakers, food, whiteboarding, coffee, ideation, creation, bootstrapping, networking, learning, teaching - and overall just a loud buzz of activity that will hopefully burst forth with new businesses, new relationships and some positive press for the West Michigan area.

    Encouraged to attend are: techhies, marketers, lawyers, business folks, designers, doctors, dentists, linemen, bowling alley managers—anyone with a passion for business and a chance to have a great time.  If your business would like to sponsor the event please contact me.  I’ll be calling you anyway…you might as well beat me to the punch..;)

  3. htaccess Help

    This issue has been resolved -thanks to Eric Reagan and Fred Boyle for the help. 

    Essentially I replaced this style of redirect:

    redirect 301 /splaat/ssdutch http://www.boyink.com/cj6/ 

    with this style:

    RewriteRule ^splaat/ssdutch/(.*)$ /cj6/$1 [R=301,L] 

    I’m sure I tested the former and had them working - why they stopped I don’t know.  It’s one of those things I don’t have the time to figure out—they seem to be working again and I’m moving on.
