Stompernet just released a firefox extension that displays the rank of a site on the top 3 search engines namely, Google, Yahoo and Live. I'm a fan of the StomperNet videos myself and i believe this tool is a good addition to most seo professionals. Stomper Ranker tool allows you to easily see your competitors in ranks in a graphical view based on the search keyword we use. The green represents Google, Red is Yahoo and Blue is Live. Just hover your mouse pointer to each dot to see which site is currently performing well on the ranks. The line denotes the same site url.

You may download the Stomper Ranker extension at the StomperNet site.

Its rainy season here and it rains everyday. Downtown is flooded, i guess Davao needs a better sewer system. Yesterday, i wasn't able to go to the office on time due to the flood.

Anyway, i was in the office when the rain came. it was hard and noisy so took a glance unto the office window to see if its starting to flood.

Across the building i noticed 2 female high school students at Ateneo de Davao removing their shoes (still on uniforms). Then suddenly, they ran into the rain towards a nearby shelter. At first, i thought, they were just happy it rained and they try to take bath. But they were still carrying their shoes?

How come you are more concerned about your shoes than what could possibly happen to your feet? Getting hit by something sharp or maybe something dull with tetanus is much more costly compared to a wet shoe. I really doubt if those girls only have 1 pair of shoe considering they are enrolled in an expensive school. In the end, i closed the windows and said to myself, "those girls are just plain dumb".

Sky Rider! That's what they call it.

When i first tried it, i must admit it's kinda scary. I mean, you can see tall pine trees below you and all the people as tiny as ants as you make your way across. If you'll try to shout, you will find yourself running out of voice for the distance between the two towers is i think equivalent to 200 meters long.

The Sky Rider! zip line is situated outside the Eden Nature Park opposite of the main gate just beside the soccer field. It has two 60 foot tower facing each other with two suspension cables mounted on the top of each tower going to the other.

Each ride costs PhP150, that is a ride from one tower to the other and back. Each ride is an approximately 20 seconds of heart pounding and a breath taking adventure. For safety reasons, you will be equipped with a helmet and a set of body straps that is then attached to the cable. As you make your way down going to the other side of the tower, you will hear the rolling and the ripping sound of the cable as you move along the line.

For a more enjoyable ride, try not to close your eyes. If you can stretch your arms wide, then do it. Just try not to touch the cables.
