Hi NS,
Boo was a nickname from my college days (long story, had to be there kinda thing...)
The Dr part is a reference to my profession as a Biochemist. In the interest of full disclosure though I must admit that after 8 1/2 years of college I was so burned out that I went out and got a job before actually getting my doctorate. Been kicking myself for that for years, and if I can't rewrite my history on the internet, where can I? 
I've been super busy with my real job lately and haven't had the chance to properly analyze the numbers for the site yet, but I'll have some observations and results ready to share soon. I would love to be able to share my experiences the way so many on this board shared with me.
Stay tuned!

Hi Dr_Boo,
Thanx, I was wondering about the story behind your name - especially since we have a recent thread here on the topic of member names on this forum. Thanx for sharing :)
You seem fairly educated and I figured there might be something of an advanced degree aspect within your member name story.

I can relate to that entirely. I've been to four different colleges within six years of full time study. I graduated from the last two. My degrees are in Information Technology.
I got tired of it part way into each college - especially near the end of the last school.

That's generous. You can do it in a general kind of way without giving away your juicy secrets while still giving a valuable tidbit or two and inspiring others ;)
Glad you're enjoying your site and congrats once again on the launch and the quality of your site.

OK, a quick update with some site observations:
Comparing the Adsense numbers from August and September I see that while my click count is up, my revenue is actually down. I'm not sure why I'm getting less per click now. I'll have to dig deeper to figure that out I guess.
While the banner ad at the bottom of each page started out relevant to my content, it has lost pretty much all relevance now. I check the site last night and saw ads for Starbucks and GM cars (Buick once and Cadillac another time). Thinking of ditching that adsense unit all together.
My sweet Clickbank banner ads that I lovingly crafted in Photoshop and rotate through randomly using a custom script has thus far resulted in a whopping zero hops according to CB. Didn't really expect much action there though.
I regret not having the time to really put the proper effort into getting this site rolling. I was invited to speak at an international conference related to my "day job" and preparation for that has dominated my time lately (and scared the hell out of me, but that's another story). After this month I hope to really give this site the attention it needs.

Great site, great articles but I think brown color is dull. (No offense)
Great site in general.
