MIT Finds New Way to Stop Bleeding!

I just read a really cool article about a very significant medical advance. Check this out:

The Math Swami

In a recent email to Bob, my sales and marketing consultant, somebody abbreviated MathScore as MS. Some people have different reactions to this abbreviation, not always good... I was thinking "MS" could stand for "Master Steven". While we were joking around about the abbreviation, we thought of "Math Swami". Curiously, I searched to see if mathswami.com or mathswamy.com had a website. The domain names weren't taken! I promptly went to godaddy.com and registered those two domain names. Perhaps I'll use those domain names as a math blog some time!

It would be kind of fun to have people visiting the math swami for credible advice regarding math education.

I feel like a sales guy

I've been swamped by leads from schools. It has been rough keeping up with my leads, which is certainly a good problem to have. Now I know why sales is a tough job. I'm not exactly stressed by it, but making lots of sales calls and frequently not reaching people by phone weighs me down. In comparison, being a nerdy programmer is just so much easier for me.

Page Rank of 6?
After a lot of effort, it looks like my Google page rank for www.mathscore.com is finally 6. However, on occasion, my browser still reports a page rank of 3. Hopefully this is just a slow process of Google updating its servers. If the page rank is still 6 a few days from now, I'll be quite happy. At that point, I'll continue to add content to my site in hopes of getting the rank to 7. If I can get there, I'll finally show up high on Google search results. Apparently, my page rank of 6 only makes me competitive, so I need a rank of 7 to truly make my site competitive on Google. On the bright side, I'm still on page 1 for "math" on MSN search!
