Google Tops 7 Billion Daily Searches in 2020

Google changed everything. Even in its earliest versions, Google was a game changer. While you had to be specific about your searches (ex: restaurant+city+___________), you did get results, and that freed us up to explore the world from our desktops. Today, only a couple decades later, you can just talk into your smartphone and ask it to “find the best 24 hour pizza,” and instantly get miles of choices for your dining pleasure.

Indian Summer painting by A.D. Cook at Springfield Museum

Indian Summer in Springfield

It’s like a homecoming, in a round about sort of way. Springfield, Massachusetts, is after all, where the original Indian motorcycles were manufactured from 1901 to 1953, making Springfield the home of America’s first motorcycle. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Gary Conrad Testimonial

I had decided that I would open a Virtual Art Gallery. I began searching for the “Right” individual to help me develop this dream. Like most people, my knowledge of the internet was based on being a user rather than a developer. I have learned there is a vast difference between the two.

On-Page SEO

On-page SEO is the process of optimizing a single page on your website for search engines, whereas on-site SEO is the process of optimizing an entire website. The two types of optimization are not exclusive to each other. Off-page SEO is just a fancy term for link building and acquiring backlinks to your website.

Good Times, Charlie

It is with great sadness that I share Charlie Brechtel’s passing. As the biker bluesman founder and leader of The Charlie Brechtel Band, most knew him as a biker and singer who shared his life through music.

Art Creation Timeline – Dreams and Memories

I love timelines. When it comes to telling a story with pictures, I can think of no better way to show the progression of something. This website’s Art Creation Timeline maps A.D. Cook’s artworks, murals, and paintings from 1988 to now. I want to suggest that it is a complete listing, but it’s only a sampling of my favorite pieces.
