All evens!

WOW I’m getting to this so fucking late I’m sorry I forgot to do this my entire day off so now I’m doing this at like midnight and I’ll post it tomorrow afternoon or something during my break

also thank you Allie once again for letting me ramble about my dumb self~

2. On a scale of 1-5, how afraid of the dark are you?

Maybe a 3 or so? I think it depends on if I’m familiar with the environment I’m in or not, and if the darkness is something planned. I don’t mind walking around my home in the dark in the middle of the night, but I’d be less okay with the dark if it was due to a blackout at home.

Probably shoots up to 4 or 5 when I’m in unfamiliar places. This includes haunted houses in amusement parks. I’m a huge baby I just try to hide it

4. What is your favorite word?

God, there’s so many good ones. I really like the word “dawn”. “Smorgasboard” is good too. Also “succinct” and “bracket.” Those words just feel fun to say for me!

6. When you looked in the mirror this morning what was the first thing you thought?

“god why does my facial hair grow back so fast?”

it doesn’t really, but I like being clean shaven and I swear it grows to the point of being noticeable within 3 - 4 days and it’s really annoying.

8. What do you label yourself as?

A bunch of stuff, really! Male, straight, raver, diabetic, dropout, all that sort of stuff. Depends on the context we’re talking about too because this question feels super broad.

10. What were you doing at midnight last night?

I think I was in bed getting comfy to go to sleep. I got called into work that day and I was exhausted when I got home. Basically ate some food and watching a single youtube video and went to sleep.

12. Who told you they loved you last?

Think it was my friend/coworker actually. Pretty sure she was playfully jabbing at me and roasting me. I agreed with her (because I either completely agree unless I have something wittier to reply with) and I think she was all “Ahhh, you know I love you.”

Having a good relationship with your coworkers is nice~

14. What is your current desktop picture?

Right now, it’s the Dishonored 2 main screen! I actually use Wallpaper Engine from Steam which lets you use videos and animated loops as desktop wallpapers, so I have about 50+ on rotation right now that get switched out every hour.

16. The last song you listened to?

CA$H by Barely Alive!

MAKE THE SPEAKERS *VIIIIIBbBRrAaAaAaTtEe*

18. Who would you really like to just punch in the face?

The guy who was with his girlfriend as one of my customers yesterday when I got called in.

Listen asshole, the first thing I told you when you came up other than my “hi” was that we were out of slushies. We couldn’t make slushies. We refilled all the mix. What do you do? Ask me “what about the blue raspberry?”

“No sir, I apologize, but we’re out of slushies.”

“What about the lemonade?”

“Sir, like I just said, we’re out of slushie mix.”

“So you’re completely out of slushies?”

“Yes sir, that’s what I just said.”

and then when I gave you your change, you YANKED the bill out of my hand.

Like listen you fucking ignorant shit, you can’t be mad at me after I tried being polite multiple times and warned you multiple times and then get frustrated with you because you kept asking inane stupid fucking questions holding up my line of 20 OTHER CUSTOMERS

I hope that guy tripped later on that day and ate shit. God that pissed me off.

20. What is your best physical attribute? (showing said attribute is optional)

Shit. I honestly hate my body in general. I guess my eyes can be pretty nice sometimes, but the light has to be hitting me in the right way. My eys are dark brown so you can’t really see a whole lot. I’ve always wished I had a different eye colour.

That, and I’m pretty tall for a Filipino dude, I think. Taller ones are growing up in Toronto now, but a lot that I see still are like 5′6″ or shorter. Being 5′8″ ain’t too bad.

22. Do you have a secret talent? If yes, what is it?

Not????? really???? I think? Like really anything that I could be remotely good at is already something I share publicly (which would be making music really but I haven’t even been doing that.)

24. You can only have one kind of sandwich. Every sandwich ingredient known to humankind is at your disposal.

Honestly, it’d just be the cold cut combo sandwich setup from Subway I always get except also with ham and a shit ton of bacon added, really. I get it cheese and toasted with Italians Herbs and Cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions, cucumbers, mayo, and chipotle sauce.

I’m a simple man. The greatest sandwiches I ever have are from Subway because I never have sandwiches otherwise.

26. You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere in the world, but you have to leave immediately. Where are you going to go?

fucking nowhere I have work dude and I get no shifts during tourist off-season I’m working as much as I can while I can

for the sake of funsies, and I know it’d sound boring, but I’d either pick California/Los Angeles or Florida. I’m not in a rush to go overseas because I feel that’d require a lot more planning and possibly learning phrases in a new language. I have family in California and friends in Florida so I wouldn’t have to worry about being alone, the Canadian dollar is weak as shit compared to the USD so I could buy things on the cheap there, and it wouldn’t be as huge of a culture shock while still being new to me (because I barely explored California with my family the one time I went because we did VERY tourist-y things.)

Also portions. I fucking inhale food, dude. Give me those US portions for meals CHEAPER than here in Canada, holy god.

28. You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?

like comment subscribe

No littering. Fuck y’all, if I’m creating my own society, I’m not letting SAVAGES in that don’t know how to clean up after themselves and throw things out properly. We’re keeping it clean here.

30. Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don’t worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what’s the one thing you’re going to save from that blazing inferno?

It’s gotta be my laptop just because it’s the most expensive thing I own that I deeply care about. I could eventually afford another PS4, I don’t need a glamorous TV or anything, and I only upgraded to the iPhone 6 because my mom got a deal on it for $100. I could use that as an excuse to switch to Android.

32. You got kicked out of the country for being a time-traveling heathen who sleeps with celebrities and has super-powers. But check out this cool shit… you can move to anywhere else in the world!

To avoid a cop-out and using California as an answer AGAIN, I think I’d really like a place in the Philippines. Not deep inner city though. Like, further away in the quieter cramped backalley houses like the one one of my aunts has there. I don’t want to be completely out in the country either.

I’d want to be able to get into the inner city relatively easily, and I want to really feel in tune with the background country more!

34. What was your last dream about?

Oh god, what was the last dream I even remember? I get so bad at remembering them now. OH NOW I REMEMBER PART OF ONE. I forgot most of it but I know at some point I ended up in the back of a large sorta hippie van? Like the back seats were removed and the back was all lined up tons of nice rugs and blankets and decorations. There were a few of my college classmates lying there with me and I was cuddling with one of them. That was a nice part of the dream I remember.

I don’t have dramatic or weird dreams. A lot of my dreams are just stuff like this. I’m really fucking romantically lonely I want physical intimacy ugggggggggggggggggh

36. Have you ever been admitted to the hospital?

Oh yeah, at least three times. I already have to visit a hospital fairly frequently for my diabetes. First time was when I was just diagnosed with T1 Diabetes, and the second and third times were when I was in danger of DKA because I wasn’t taking my insulin. Second time was worse than the third. My nurses weren’t happy both times though.

38. What is the color of your socks?

I’m not wearing socks right now! I don’t wear socks at home unless I find it cold.

40. Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?

Sunsets, since I’m not a morning person. Both are pretty though!

42. What football team do you support? (I will answer in terms of American football as well as soccer)

Is this that newfangled Sportsball I always hear about? I’m not hip with the times yo, sorry.

No seriously I really don’t care about sports and the only ones I MIGHT care a tiny bit about are my local ones like the Blue Jays and Raptors, and that’s just out of a sense of Canadian/Torontonian pride more than anything.

44. What do you want to be when you graduate?

lol whoops I dropped out

dream goal is still to be a music producer and DJ. If that doesn’t end up panning out, I’d still like to go into something involving music or audio engineering. Sound mixing for TV/movies maybe? Doing front-of-house mixing for concerts and raves would be cool too.

46. Are you reliable?

I like to think so, but I know I slip up a lot sometimes.

48. Do you hold grudges?

To be honest, yeah, I still do. I can be pretty fucking bitter about things from my past.

50. What is the most unusual conversation you’ve ever had?

Not the MOST, but this just happened a couple weeks ago (and it wasn’t really a conversation but whatever)

A woman came up to me while I was on cash wanting to buy something. She was holding a Canadian $20 in her hand. She approaches me, looks at her bill confused, looks up at me again, and asks “Do you guys accept cash?”

Like???????????? nothing has ever taken me that far aback before????? like I don’t????? what??? the fuck like miss??????? miss we are an establishment that provides goods for currency??????????????? damn I HOPE we accept cash at this physical shop because we’d probably come across some issues with our customers

This happened weeks ago and I still bring it up to people. It still bewilders the fuck out of me. What would possess people to think a physical store would not accept cash? What has troubled you in the past that would lead you to think that this cashier and this till you walked up to would ONLY accept debit/credit cards? Holy fuck.

52. How long could you go without talking?

To another person physically? A good while, I think. Probably a week, two weeks tops. I’ve stayed inside my apartment for a week straight before and I swear I barely talked to my mom too.

If talking to myself counts, than maybe a couple hours. Maybe. I talk and make comments to/by myself a lot.

54. Have you ever baked your own cake?

God no. I’d probably be trash at baking stuff. I’m surprised I can manage some stuff on the stovetop.

56. What do you like on your toast?

Butter/margarine for the most part. I’m a simple person. I could say peanut butter and jelly too, but it’s actually been over a year or so since I’ve had a PB&J.

58. What would be you dream car?

One that worked, was fairly stable, and had a damn good audio system.

I’m not really a car person, I really wouldn’t give too much of a shit what the car was. Maybe not a pick-up truck or a mini-van though, and that’s really it.

60. Do you believe in aliens?

Not in the stereotypical image of “aliens”, but I definitely believe that the universe is too fucking huge and operates on too massive a scale for there to not be any type of intelligent life somewhere else at SOME place.

62. What is your favorite letter of the alphabet?

Either A or M. A’s probably my favourite vowel, and for some reason “LMNOP” is my favourite part of the classic Alphabet song, and M is the letter I like the best out of that section.

64. What do you think about babies?

Babies can be super cute and adorable sometimes! Other times though? Devil spawn. They can be double-edged swords sometimes.

Google Top Contributor Summit 2017

Running Amok at the Google Plex

In November I met up with Google Top Contributors from North and South America for Google’s TC Summit. Here’s ⅗ of my face with some really fantastic humans who like to help others with Google’s stuff.

2017 Google Top Contributor Summit – Americas

A little background: Google’s Top Contributor program is basically a group of hand-picked tech enthusiasts who hang around in Google’s product forums and help. I’m a part of the Webmaster Central Help Forum. We tackle all the stuff you associate with SEO, and then some. It’s wicked fun. I’ve been in that forum since around 2008 and before that in Google’s Sitemaps forum (when figuring out XML syntax was the fresh hot thing re: ~2005/6ish). It’s no wonder I have such a hoppin’ social life, yeah?

So, whatd’ya do?

Day 1 > General Fun

UX Studies

Per product 1:1 time with engineers to give feedback and test new tech (including some awesome stuff Google has coming s(w)oon). I participated in:

Search Console

Webmaster Central, and

VR mobile gaming. You guys, monster trucks driving on your table via your phone. *fist pump*

General Sessions

TCs from all of the different support forums are together for the first day. The day was full of:

BIG thank you’s from the Google teams for all of the TCs

Updates on the TC program/platforms

Google hardware – phones, laptops, Click, Home, Daydream, those fantastically magical ear buds I want to get my hands on, etc.

Details on the Google Assistant

Machine learning at Google

Loon in Peru

Oh, and we tested out the top volume on the new Google Home Max. It def goes to 11.

Day 2 > All Things Webmaster / SEO

This day is also known as Ashley’s Other Birthday. It’s a deep dive for Webmaster TC’s that’s chock-full of time with the engineers and product managers working on the tools & algorithms we really care about.

https://twitter.com/beussery/status/928121879063179264

Mobile First Index

More about the phased-rollout and how that affects webmasters – some sites are already on the MFI, others may not be on for a long, long time. It’s all about readiness.

Max Prin made a fab mobile readiness tool that was recommended.

Looking for pages that are on the MFI? Look at the cache.

Changes in recommendations

Put your structured data markup on mobile pages too!

Hreflang

Mobile FR <-> mobile IT

Desktop FR <-> Desktop IT

Responsive should just work

No changes in rel=canonical or other markup

And of course, links? What about links to the desktop site when you have a separate site for mobile? Google *should* be able to fold all links to both the desktop/mobile URLs nicely so you get ‘credit’.

*Theoretical

AMP

More info about the favorite kid in the family –

AMP as canonicals

AMP + PWAs

*pwamp*

AMP success metrics from the SERPs

2x+ more time spent on AMP pages

20% increase in sales conversions

It’s easy for Google to cherry pick case studies and we all know there are downsides to tossing resources into AMP, but I still think it’s worth exploring for most sites.

Stealing from AMP

Taking the code for AMP components but using it in otherwise “regular” pages. Can you do this? Yeah. Will it work? Probably / most of the time. It may bust some stuff. So, steal clean code but just make sure you test mkay?

But, AMP as canonical is a pretty cool idea and some sites are already doing it (check out http://ift.tt/2AFs2fn, http://ift.tt/2fMzw3r, https://tasty.co/, http://ift.tt/2wTcCRO).

Google Search Console

All of the new things! Lots coming! For the love of all that is holy give me more beta access, Google!

GSC became a sort of slow lumbering beast with a plate of spaghetti code over the years. Google is fixing that. And adding new things. GSC is going to be a lean and useful beast.

Lots to come, but my fav new feature is a link function to share static/visual reports similar to gdrive sharing.

I’m also digging the deeper focus on structured data. There’s so much you can do with the right markup. Stuck? We love exploring new ways to markup your content so don’t be shy. Google’s pushing SD to become more and more important especially with mobile-first and browser-less search results.

And big G is working on cleaning up some of that structured data spam we all see in the SERPs.

New & old GSC will run in parallel until data parity is reached

Webspam, Safebrowsing, Web Security

These are my favorite sessions! Eeek!

Spam

We saw interesting case studies on fighting international spam trends (and learned that Turkish hackers are probably the nicest) and got new information on how spam and spam links are handled these days.

Safe Browsing

The usual suspects: malware, phishing, UwS, social engineering, etc.

Implementing repeat offender policies that even I think are too nice.

Making sure webmasters know the biggest risks – I’m looking at you shifty ad networks and rando 3rd party plugins.

Web security

Google wants to educate webmasters to find, clean up, fix and resolve web security issues with a PWA that Google announced at I/O this year

It’s pretty sexy. Seriously though, running a Linux server and full WordPress implementations in the browser that largely works offline. Holy hell it’s a fun way to promote web security education.

So…. Whatd’ya Learn?

Lots of things. All of the things. Details on existing stuff, new stuff, stuff coming soon. I am under NDA on a lot content so I’m limited on specifics I can share, but the TC program is meant to share info between TCs and Googlers so we can all give better help and do better work.

Other Shenanigans

I participate in the TC program because I like to help. I like the people (even the weird ones; especially the weird ones). I love technology and having a safe place to learn. And it feels really good to be recognized by Google. I’m a sucker for recognition and a pat on the back. I really love being able to take all of the goodness and bring it back to my work & my team here. Local SEO Guide cares about giving out really good SEO guidance and solving really tough problems and being a TC has helped prep me to be a small part of the bigger picture.

And now just for funsies

Photo booths. Oh god I love photo booths. And you may wonder, why am I such a jerk that I would position my gigantic head right in front of JohnMu? I don’t know. I just am.

My intrusively giant head

But it’s all good. When I had the chance to join the live Webmaster Hangout that week he got me back.

John’s intrusively giant head

And because I’m a sentimental beast, here are a couple of my fave photos from the 2015 TC Summit.

A Gaggle of Geeks

10/10 cool

srsly tho

The 2013 Summit was the year of the bottle of tequila & a conveyor belt of White Castle burgers (for real). I was invited, with my friend Sasch, to give a presentation to Googlers & other webmasters. OMG! And of course, 2013 was the year I took a pic with Cutts that allows me to photoshop him endorsing pretty much whatever. I take requests.

Say Anything

Totally legit.

It’s true

2011… there was something about a pink feather boa I vaguely remember. The truth is out there, somewhere, on the internet. And if you find it definitely send those pics my way.

Fun, yeah? If you’re interested in the Top Contributor program – check out http://ift.tt/1IByWKE or start posting/helping in the Webmaster Central Forum. If you’re interested in damn good SEO guidance, reach out to the team here.

GSC became a sort of slow lumbering beast with a plate of spaghetti code over the years. Google is fixing that. And adding new things. GSC is going to be a lean and useful beast.

Lots to come, but my fav new feature is a link function to share static/visual reports similar to gdrive sharing.

And big G is working on cleaning up some of that structured data spam we all see in the SERPs.

New & old GSC will run in parallel until data parity is reached

Webspam, Safebrowsing, Web Security

These are my favorite sessions! Eeek!

Spam

Safe Browsing

The usual suspects: malware, phishing, UwS, social engineering, etc.

Implementing repeat offender policies that even I think are too nice.

Making sure webmasters know the biggest risks – I’m looking at you shifty ad networks and rando 3rd party plugins.

Web security

Google wants to educate webmasters to find, clean up, fix and resolve web security issues with a PWA that Google announced at I/O this year

So…. Whatd’ya Learn?

Other Shenanigans

And now just for funsies

Photo booths. Oh god I love photo booths. And you may wonder, why am I such a jerk that I would position my gigantic head right in front of JohnMu? I don’t know. I just am.

My intrusively giant head

But it’s all good. When I had the chance to join the live Webmaster Hangout that week he got me back.

John’s intrusively giant head

And because I’m a sentimental beast, here are a couple of my fave photos from the 2015 TC Summit.

A Gaggle of Geeks

10/10 cool

srsly tho

Say Anything

Totally legit.

It’s true

2011… there was something about a pink feather boa I vaguely remember. The truth is out there, somewhere, on the internet. And if you find it definitely send those pics my way.

Google Top Contributor Summit 2017

Running Amok at the Google Plex

2017 Google Top Contributor Summit – Americas

So, whatd’ya do?

Day 1 > General Fun

UX Studies

Per product 1:1 time with engineers to give feedback and test new tech (including some awesome stuff Google has coming s(w)oon). I participated in:

Search Console

Webmaster Central, and

VR mobile gaming. You guys, monster trucks driving on your table via your phone. *fist pump*

General Sessions

TCs from all of the different support forums are together for the first day. The day was full of:

BIG thank you’s from the Google teams for all of the TCs

Updates on the TC program/platforms

Google hardware – phones, laptops, Click, Home, Daydream, those fantastically magical ear buds I want to get my hands on, etc.

Details on the Google Assistant

Machine learning at Google

Loon in Peru

Oh, and we tested out the top volume on the new Google Home Max. It def goes to 11.

Day 2 > All Things Webmaster / SEO

https://twitter.com/beussery/status/928121879063179264

Mobile First Index

More about the phased-rollout and how that affects webmasters – some sites are already on the MFI, others may not be on for a long, long time. It’s all about readiness.

Max Prin made a fab mobile readiness tool that was recommended.

Looking for pages that are on the MFI? Look at the cache.

Changes in recommendations

Put your structured data markup on mobile pages too!

Hreflang

Mobile FR <-> mobile IT

Desktop FR <-> Desktop IT

Responsive should just work

No changes in rel=canonical or other markup

*Theoretical

AMP

More info about the favorite kid in the family –

AMP as canonicals

AMP + PWAs

*pwamp*

AMP success metrics from the SERPs

2x+ more time spent on AMP pages

20% increase in sales conversions

It’s easy for Google to cherry pick case studies and we all know there are downsides to tossing resources into AMP, but I still think it’s worth exploring for most sites.

Stealing from AMP

But, AMP as canonical is a pretty cool idea and some sites are already doing it (check out http://ift.tt/2AFs2fn, http://ift.tt/2fMzw3r, https://tasty.co/, http://ift.tt/2wTcCRO).

Lots to come, but my fav new feature is a link function to share static/visual reports similar to gdrive sharing.

And big G is working on cleaning up some of that structured data spam we all see in the SERPs.

New & old GSC will run in parallel until data parity is reached

Webspam, Safebrowsing, Web Security

These are my favorite sessions! Eeek!

Spam

Safe Browsing

The usual suspects: malware, phishing, UwS, social engineering, etc.

Implementing repeat offender policies that even I think are too nice.

Making sure webmasters know the biggest risks – I’m looking at you shifty ad networks and rando 3rd party plugins.

Web security

Google wants to educate webmasters to find, clean up, fix and resolve web security issues with a PWA that Google announced at I/O this year

So…. Whatd’ya Learn?

Other Shenanigans

And now just for funsies

Photo booths. Oh god I love photo booths. And you may wonder, why am I such a jerk that I would position my gigantic head right in front of JohnMu? I don’t know. I just am.

My intrusively giant head

But it’s all good. When I had the chance to join the live Webmaster Hangout that week he got me back.

John’s intrusively giant head

And because I’m a sentimental beast, here are a couple of my fave photos from the 2015 TC Summit.

A Gaggle of Geeks

10/10 cool

srsly tho

Say Anything

Totally legit.

It’s true

2011… there was something about a pink feather boa I vaguely remember. The truth is out there, somewhere, on the internet. And if you find it definitely send those pics my way.

Google Top Contributor Summit 2017

Running Amok at the Google Plex

2017 Google Top Contributor Summit – Americas

So, whatd’ya do?

Day 1 > General Fun

UX Studies

Per product 1:1 time with engineers to give feedback and test new tech (including some awesome stuff Google has coming s(w)oon). I participated in:

Search Console

Webmaster Central, and

VR mobile gaming. You guys, monster trucks driving on your table via your phone. *fist pump*

General Sessions

TCs from all of the different support forums are together for the first day. The day was full of:

BIG thank you’s from the Google teams for all of the TCs

Updates on the TC program/platforms

Google hardware – phones, laptops, Click, Home, Daydream, those fantastically magical ear buds I want to get my hands on, etc.

Details on the Google Assistant

Machine learning at Google

Loon in Peru

Oh, and we tested out the top volume on the new Google Home Max. It def goes to 11.

Day 2 > All Things Webmaster / SEO

https://twitter.com/beussery/status/928121879063179264

Mobile First Index

More about the phased-rollout and how that affects webmasters – some sites are already on the MFI, others may not be on for a long, long time. It’s all about readiness.

Max Prin made a fab mobile readiness tool that was recommended.

Looking for pages that are on the MFI? Look at the cache.

Changes in recommendations

Put your structured data markup on mobile pages too!

Hreflang

Mobile FR <-> mobile IT

Desktop FR <-> Desktop IT

Responsive should just work

No changes in rel=canonical or other markup

*Theoretical

AMP

More info about the favorite kid in the family –

AMP as canonicals

AMP + PWAs

*pwamp*

AMP success metrics from the SERPs

2x+ more time spent on AMP pages

20% increase in sales conversions

It’s easy for Google to cherry pick case studies and we all know there are downsides to tossing resources into AMP, but I still think it’s worth exploring for most sites.

Stealing from AMP

But, AMP as canonical is a pretty cool idea and some sites are already doing it (check out http://ift.tt/2AFs2fn, http://ift.tt/2fMzw3r, https://tasty.co/, http://ift.tt/2wTcCRO).
