    I just read an interesting interview with John Deal, CEO of Hyperion Power Generation. Hyperion is building a nuclear reactor small enough to be shipped by train or truck but powerful enough to supply electricity to a small city. At a cost of roughly $30 million each, this reactor can supply up to 30 megawatts…

    Just to be clear, all of these conferences are great. I’m just not into them this year. It doesn’t work with the travel budget and I’m busy on other projects. But watching the coverage of all these other conferences has left me feeling a little like I’m missing out. So, I thought I would cover…

    Yesterday I had an interesting experience helping a good friend and neighbor set up some CATV wiring in his basement. Now I’ve done this kind of stuff in past jobs and even in my own basement.

    One of the first things I realized was that tylerwhitaker.com was pretty light on plugins. I have been running Akismet for spam (and it works great.) But the rest are new. If you know of any better plugins, please let me know. Akismet Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if…

    The last couple of weeks I’ve been doing some research into the field of Internet Marketing. Specifically, I’m interesting in blogs, SEO, Google AdSense (and other ad networks), webstores (amazon, eBay, yahoo, etc.), and keyword selection.
