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."

The good folks over at Narconon recently put together this video about the early days of Narconon, which has now been saving lives for over 40 years.
Although I found out about the Narconon drug rehabilitation program in 1972 when I was working in Los Angeles, and I visited their drug rehab center, I never met Willie Benitez. But I heard the story; as an addict and prisoner at Arizona State Prison in the mid-1960’s, Willie figured out how to apply some of the information developed by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology …

I recently faxed Senator Jeff Merkley my reasons for opposing the massive Obamacare health plan that will put one sixth of the US economy under the Federal Government, at a cost of trillions of dollars.
His reply came a few days ago in the mail. It’s an obvious form letter he sent to answer all those annoying faxes that mysteriously piled up in his office from the thousands of people like me who faxed him our objections and asked him, as our senator, not to vote for Obamacare, which he did anyway.
The gist of his message to me is …

The FDA is considering reclassifying ECT machines (Electro Convulsive Therapy or shock machines) as Class 2 devices instead of Class 3 devices (which are dangerous). This would allow more widespread use of these barbaric instruments by psychiatrists.
Note that ECT Machines have never been tested for “safety” — they can’t pass any such safety inspections or tests because they cause irrevocable harm to patients who are, for the most part, forcibly administered electro shock. Sending hundreds of volts of electricity through the brain is not something that should be condoned by the FDA.
Give the FDA a piece of your …

Michael H asked:
I have recently obtained a domain name. Under my domain are products sold through Amazon.com sure you are well aware of associate marketing. I guess i need somebody to be honest about forthcoming costs in relation to registering on search engines and how to go about it successfully with minimum cost, maximum effect. Can you help ?
——————-
My reply: You are in for a long uphill battle if you want to compete against Amazon itself for the sale of the products you are selling as one of their affiliates.
Google doesn’t like affiliate sites and …

Chuck of Chuck St. John Photography asked me the following question by email:
“I don’t seem to have a static IP. When I did your test, and used the IP # given, It did not take me to my web page but the to hosting
companies’ web page ”
My answer was:
“Yeah, that happens a lot. It means your website has a ‘dynamic, shared IP address’ which saves the web hosting company a ton of money.”
Chuck is talking about the …

This two-minute video from CCHR explains what’s wrong with psychiatry. It’s from Dr. Niall McLaren, who’s been a practicing psychiatrist for 22 years, and is the former head of the Dept of Psychiatry at Repatriation Hospital in Australia.
Bluntly, he says that psychiatry is pseudo-science and that all their bunk hangs from one skyhook, “that mental disorder is brain disorder”. And that there is no proof whatever to that premise.
As he says, “bugger the money” that’s being wasted on psychiatry and psych medicine. It’s the inability of psychiatry to actually help people, and the actual harm that it …

We do a lot of internet marketing for our clients, including SEO of existing websites, PPC campaigns for them, link building, and so on. We manage tens of thousands of dollars of Google AdWords budget monthly for various clients.

The founder of …

This video from PajamasTV goes into the brilliance and liabilities of the Obama logo. Well worth watching, no matter what your political views.

I am greatly encouraged that the Tea Party movement was able to organize, on fairly short notice, getting about 1.2 million people to march on Washington DC.
That estimate of 1.2 million is from the Parks & Recreation department. Photos of the march tend to bear it out — it was a huge crowd.
Michelle Malkin’s site covered it pretty well. 9/12 march on Washington DC.
More power to the Tea Party! Love these and their signs say it well. “I’ll show your president all the respect you showed mine.”
If I know one thing, it’s that ignoring …
