You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

This amazing video demonstrates the level of protection provided for skin by “Gloves in a Bottle” (one of my clients). I’ve been using their product for about 8 years, whenever dry skin becomes an issue for me, or when I work out where I might get some poison oak on my skin. First I put on Gloves in a Bottle, then I’m protected. The owner of the company is a friend and his site is doing well in the search engines for “dry skin” — usually at #4 at Google for that phrase, ahead of the giant pharmaceutical companies with unlimited budgets. Today the site is at #6. I respect that he’s always doing something to market his websites, coming up with new ideas and ways to implement them.

I don’t use any lotions or creams on my hands. Ever. I can’t stand the greasy feel of them, and I have to wash off lotions like Jergens Intensive Care. The great thing about Gloves in a Bottle is that it is completely non-greasy. About 1 minute after I put it on, it feels like it has completely disappeared.
