Getting Rid of Duplicate Content Issues Once and For All — No fancy intro here, just right to the content. The moderator for this panel is Rand Fishkin. Speakers are super funny Derrick Wheeler, Senior Search Engine Optimization Architect, Microsoft; Ben D'Angelo, Software Engineer, Google; and Priyank Garg, Director Product Management, Yahoo! Search. Rahul Lahiri, VP of Search Product Management, Ask, is a might show. Hmm. Ben D'Angelo is up first. He's been with Google a little more than three years. I think that means he went to Google straight out of grade school. What are duplicate content issues? There are actually multiple disjoint problems. Duplicate content within your site or...

Linux-based Evo "Smart Console" now up for pre-order — Filed under: Desktops, Gaming While any announcement of a new game console is rightly going to be greeting with a hefty amount of skepticism, it looks like this new Evo "Smart Console" from upstart Envizions Computer Entertainment could be a bit of a unique case and, as Pandora has shown, sometimes these things do actually pan out. Working in the Evo's favor is the fact that it's really nothing more than a Linux-based computer that relies entirely on off the shelf parts like an overclocked Athlon 64x2 5600 processor and ATI Radeon 3200 graphics. The more ambitious, and potentially vaporware... [Tags: ati radeon, based computer, ceo, computer entertainment, consoles]

Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up — Frank Rich: The election isn’t over, but there remain only three discernible, if highly unlikely, paths to a McCain victory. A theoretically mammoth wave of racism, incessantly anticipated by the press, could materialize in voting booths on Nov. 4. Or newly registered young and black voters could fail to show up. Or McCain could at long last make good on his most persistent promise: follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell and, once there, strangle him with his own bare hands on "Hannity & Colmes." Maureen Dowd: We are spitting mad and ready to revolt. What the... [Tags: alf landon, colmes, derrick, fdr, financiers]

The Team Behind Social Media Breakfast | Singapore — I’ve been following up on Social Media Breakfast | Singapore 4 (SMB4) from Canada, and I’m glad that the general sentiment is that everyone had a good time and found the discussion meaningful. I want to just quickly blog about the team and how we evolved to where we are today. You might remember me mentioning how we literally started out as strangers from SMB1. It was just Derrick posing an idea to me, and Sheylara joining us out of nowhere (neither Derrick and I had any idea who she was at the time. Oh how times have changed). By...

Social Media Breakfast | Singapore 4: Thoughts From Canada — I know I was originally going to post something else today, but let’s talk about something good instead: Social Media Breakfast | Singapore: Thoughts From Canada from Daryl Tay on Vimeo. Thanks to Dorothy for live-blogging at Social Media Breakfast | Singapore, NTT and Brian for live Twittering and Plurking, and Kevin and Bryan for spreading the word on this side of the globe! And of course, the rest of the team Claudia, Sherms, Sheylara, Derrick and Dorothy for getting SMB4 up and running. Crazy to think that seven months ago, it was just three people, no, three strangers trying... [Tags: blogging, canada, derrick, globe, media breakfast]

Lunch conversation — Will: There's a lot of things that are magic in this world. Like magnetism. It's like magic. We don't know how it works. Derrick: Uhh... Don't we TOTALLY know how it works? Everyone else: (laughs at Will)... [Tags: derrick, lunch conversation, magnetism]

A Viral-Video Making Comedy Group Takes Aim at Hollywood with Help from the RED Camera [Digital Filmmaking] — Derrick is a comedy trio who's been making short comedic videos for the web for a few years. You've probably seen at least a few of them in the past. But now, they've set their sights higher: they want out of the internet comedy ghetto and into the mainstream. How're they going to do that? By making their own feature-length movie outside of the Hollywood system, with the help of the super-powerful RED camera. Welcome to the future of movies, where the playing field has been leveled. According to DC Pierson, one of the members of Derrick, the only way... [Tags: affordability, comedy group, comedy trio, derrick, digital filmmaking]

Scarlet's Letter — It was the dirtiest look that Derrick had ever seen. As he stood in the foyer, paralyzed by his wife’s dagger-like glare, his mind rushed through all the things he could have possibly done wrong. Did I forget to pick up the kids? Was it someone’s birthday? Crap, it isn’t our anniversary, is it? After a few-second-long silence that lasted an eternity, Derrick nervously stammered a greeting. “Uhh, hi… honey… I’m home?” She clenched her jaw as her eyes tensed with anger. Without abating her piercing glaze, Derrick’s wife slowly raised her right hand to eye level. Her tight... [Tags: charles schwab, dagger, derrick, eight months, eternity]

Exemplary Parenting: A Grand Theft Auto Cake For Your 4-Year Old. Oh Man, Please Tell Me A Stripper Jumped Out Of It! — What better way is there to celebrate Lil Derrick's 4th birthday than with a violence packed video game and a couple strippers? Exactly, none. But seeing how GTA: San Andreas came out a while ago, I imagine Lil Derrick is probably a little older now. So, from all of us here at Geekologie (just me): Happy 7th Birthday Derrkick, I sent you a cake in juvie. Oh, and there's a surprise inside. Hint: It's a knife. It's your birthday, get stabby! I Believe the Children are Our Future [cakewrecks] Thanks to Nils, who baked a handgun cake for his... [Tags: 7th birthday, derrick, geekologie, good parenting, grand theft auto]

How to Speak Geek: Working Collaboratively with Your IT Department to Get Stuff Done — Ah, the internal battle of IT and marketing. How do you get the IT folks to actually implement your brilliant vision? I have no idea but our panelists Matt Bailey (SiteLogic), Greg Boser (3 Dog Media), Sage Lewis (SageRock) and Chris "Silver" Smith (Netconcepts) think they do. Greg and Sage are last minute additions and don't have presentations. Moderator Jeff Rohrs (ExactTarget) will force them to reveal the secrets. Matt will do it at ten times the speed of light and make Star Trek jokes in the process while I fail to keep up. Hi, Matt! Matt Bailey is up...
