Just a few items of note…

Starbucks - They’re finally stepping it up with their coffee. I’ve never been a huge fan of Starbucks coffee but I’ll definitely give them another try with this new brew. Never really cared for the taste and I always found it inconsistent, I guess that’s because they change their flavor every week and location. That would explain it. On the other-hand, I fully recommend illy, I won’t buy anything else for the house.

Shark Attacks - As a surfer, shark attacks are always on your mind. The reality of it though, is that you’re about as likely to be attacked by a shark as you are winning the lottery. News like this bodyboarder who was attacked and killed the other day always makes that thought just a little more eminent. Whenever someone comes to learn to surf, they’re always asking me about sharks and you can tell it’s on their mind and it makes them a little nervous. I suppose it’s good to always be aware of the dangers but there are far more things more likely to kill you then a shark. With that said, my thoughts go out to the boy’s family.

Party Bait - One of the funnest guys to party with at any SEO conference is hands down Chris Hooley. He seriously makes everyone step their game up and I’m hoping he shows up to SMX Social. It’s been ahwile since he’s blogged but today I cruised around and found a post he just put up. The post is based around relevance and how Google portrays you. What caught my attention though, is how he talks about how he hardly blogs anymore because his focused has changed. I can relate to this as I just recently went through a blogging drought myself. It’s seriously a whole other ballgame when you’re blogging because your livelihood depends on it. It becomes a job and starts to lose it’s fun. Chris, I know I just went off on a completely different tangent but here’s to hoping you become that crazy party guy again for a couple days and join us in Long Beach.
