Optimize Craigslist with Boolean Search Operators

09/2011 Update:  Craigslist seems to change their booleans every now and then. Parenthesis and apostrophes at one point were for phrases and OR operators. Just like the renowned Google search engine, Craigslist.org has their own technical search term operators that will alter the parameters of your search. If you are looking to add special conditions...

Mixtape: A Tune in June

It’s that time to not really have a specific time to roll out with this monthly playlist. The downside of user videos is the sound isn’t so crisp. This My Morning Jacket song tingles down to the center of my body. So much energy. This song echoes my recent blog post about language: all that...

Mixtape: Come What May

Round two of the monthly mixtape. I’m still behind and that is alright because I am spreading these out. “Break My Body/Hold My Bones.” Those few words get trapped into my earbanks. This song is about as gritty as it gets this month. Here’s a live version. I have SXSW to thank for this song...

In 1 Nostril, Out the Other

I have become a convert of nasal irrigation. Pour isotonic solution into one side of your nose and it flows out of the other nostril. It sounds weird, it looks weird, and it is weird. But it does wonders at clearing out your sinuses and feels more effective than simply blowing your nose. Apparently it’s...

Secrets of Alexa Rank and Broken Redirect

Since the beginning of January, Alexa Redirect links have been deprecated and no longer function. They work as a prevention to get to your site.

It was debated whether this...

My Greatest Hits: Chart Topping Posts and Personal Faves

The year is about through and I’d like to scan through the past of liquidparallax.com. I’m usually the person who scolds other site for doing “This Month’s Best Posts Roundup,” but this is slightly different. In over a year of doing this blog, I’ve never put myself in an egocentric position and said “Internet users...

Recording Internet Radio is Illegal? [Copyright]

The U.S. has laws and the laws enforce and prohibit certain activities and protect certain rights. It gets tricky, even if you are a lawyer because some instances and cases have not been settled in court or defined explicitly in an Act or law. For instance, did you know that each recording device sold requires...

Album Review: Mono/Stereo [Westerberg]

In comes Grandpaboy and Paul Westerberg doing the old one-two. Unless you’ve heard of Westerberg or know of the Replacements, you may be oblivious to the underrated CDs known as Mono and Stereo. It was my first ever purchase from the Paul catalog. It’s been one of my favorite discs and certainly one of the...
