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."

Does My Website Need a Static, Dedicated IP Address? Really?

Monday, November 9th, 2009

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 …

What’s wrong with psychiatry? Let a psychiatrist explain….

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

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 …

Proud of our clients’ growth: this client has doubled every year….

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

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.

One of our clients is the Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, out in the desert near Pahrump, Nevada.

Brilliant new video from CCHR – why we fight mass psychiatric drugging of kids

Friday, October 9th, 2009

This brilliant new video called “What We Believe” does a good job of outlining why my friends at CCHR (I’ve been a member since 1972) fight the “mental health” screening and mass psychiatric drugging of children, and why we believe that involuntary commitment is a violation of any person’s basic human rights.

If the psychs (and big pharma) have their way — and they’ve put this into the Obama Care health plan — then everyone in America, from birth through their dotage, will be screened at every step along the way, and drugged “appropriately” to handle their “mental …

1.2 million Angry Protesters March on Capital – and the mainstream news ignores it.

Monday, September 14th, 2009

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 …

Heroin Addict’s Parent: “Our son was a monster…”

Monday, August 17th, 2009

I received this from my friends over at the Narconon Drug Rehab Center:

———-

“Our son became a heroin addict about 3 years ago. It broke our hearts to see what was once a beautiful, intelligent caring young man turn into a demon. He lied, stole, and had no regard for life. At one point I looked at him and saw the grim reaper. He was pale, skinny, dark circles under his eyes. He was very moody, angry, and mean, had no accountability and could care less who he hurt or what he did.

“The drug had stolen my …

Oregon Country Fair 2009

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

We went to Oregon Country Fair on Saturday. My main purpose was to get a pair of hand-made boots. While taking loads of photos of the costumed revelers, I had a great time with my grandkids, daughters and significant other. Oregon Country Fair 2009 was a bit colder than the last time we went (about ten years ago). My gal had purchased two pairs of boots back then made by Hank Zander of Happy Feets (Dillard, Oregon) and she really liked them, so I thought it was time for me to get a pair. My feet get really cold in …

Disease Mongering Engine – what a hoot!

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

This site makes tragic mockery of big Pharma, by helping you generate your own made-up pseudo-medical term for a bogus mental disorder, so you too can get rich quick off your harmful chemicals: Disease Mongering Engine.

If is quite funny, as it steps you through the paces of how to make a fortune from your own toxic, harmful chemicals.
