It’s Saturday morning, and I haven’t stared down my inbox in probably two months. I started all bright-eyed and bushy tailed three hours ago. I created two new folders! I moved some old emails into the folders so I can find the info when I need it! I thought through what to name them so [...]

Both have made me consider the probable future of the publishing and of the Internet. I’ve been browsing online since 1995. I still remember my buddy from work, Tommy, who asked [...]

I had the pleasure of not having my computer for the past week. I knew my less than two-year-old hard drive had some issues since it failed the hard drive diagnostics I ran on a regular basis. But the program said it wasn’t in a critical area of the hard drive. I was able to [...]

I wrote an entry two years ago about my attempt to manage info overload. Well, two years later, thanks to more and more options, I’m not. I like to keep up with entertainment, finance, business, current events, genealogy, movies, my fb friends, my bookmarks, my emails, my blog (uhhhh…), what’s going on/will be going on [...]
Is the Apple spell wearing off?

I just saw this headline in the New York Times Bits tech blog. An engineer supposedly loses the next generation iPhone and negative opinions start coming out of the woodwork. I think it’s kind of surprising that something like this hasn’t happened up until now. How many employees work at Apple? How many have been [...]

“Three” aka 3.0 has been in operation now for a little over a month, and with the exception of an occasional hiss or slow ad load, has been the perfect child. The laptop and I are very happy. Unfortunately, I had to give it a crying fit today. I promised my baby a wireless network [...]

I just saw this article about radio station broadcast streaming from Jacobs Media, a radio consulting firm: “Streaming – Radio’s New Transmitter and Tower” Jacobs Media’s new survey reveals a significant rise in streaming radio. iPhone owners are especially likely to stream their favorite stations. When it comes to listening to AM/FM radio, “the next [...]

More, more, more. Facebook. Twitter. Blogs everywhere. Cool sites. Email. Links in email. Podcasts. Video. Yes, I’m having a hard time keeping up. I just found the BBC News’ dot.life blog and I’ve been scrolling down, finding interesting and topical posts. But it just hit me – I feel like I’ve just fallen off a [...]
