My first post from my iphone

This is extremely cool. I'm using the wordpress app on my iPhone to post this. This is going to come in handy while I'm in Europe!

How to fix an Xbox 360 with sound but no video

My brother-in-law recently gave me his broken Xbox 360. Unlike most other broken 360's out there, there were no 3 red-rings-of-death (RROD) indicating some major problem. Instead, when you turn it on, it seemed to start up just fine. Well, you could hear the audio of the startup, but there was no picture.

Get the XBox 360 Red Light fix – Guaranteed to work in less than 2 hours.

Resurrecting a dead college directory

So, I'm trying out a little project here. In the past, I've listed and provided dropped domains with PageRank. Really though, they didn't prove to be of much value. Once the next PR update hit, they usually dropped the little bit that they had, and became useless.

This time I'm testing something new out. I've found an old site, which is over 10 years old, but I guess just didn't generate enough revenue to stay alive. The links to the site are still alive, as is much of the content. So I've purchased the domain, and resurrected much of the site. It will be interesting to see how search engines treat the old site.

Here it is, it's a college directory. If you're a student and you have a blog, please link to the site as well from your own blog, as this will help out this little test. Thanks!

ps – yes, I realize that it's ugly right now, but we'll fix that eventually.
