A good lesson can be learned about keeping your social media posts separate.  I mean it it not necessarily a good idea to import all your Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed, etc. together.  I cannot say much about how other people operate online but with me it seems like despite my not being into Facebook, most everyone [...]

Where a person focuses their energy with respect to their online presence has been a point of contention with all of the social networking sites.  Let’s be honest.  I am the world’s worst about signing up for virtually everything on the Internet.  I am always trying out the newest toy and looking for the best [...]

I have noticed a trend among the self appointed technology experts in the San Francisco area. They seem to live in a bubble, isolated from the rest of the world that is similar to the members of Congress in Washington D.C.  It is well known that many computer companies come from the San Francisco bay [...]

It is just about that time again to renew the web site.  Of course this brings up all sorts of questions about whether I want to keep the current domain of paulmccord.net or change to something else.  It also makes me wonder whether or not to change my page to a static page or keep [...]

Can you believe that it has been over a week since I posted?  It seems like we are always busy and never have a moment to post.  Either that or the limited time there is to post, I am not inspired to write anything.  Tonight we have been trying to watch my wife’s television shows [...]

Our days are so consumed with work and trying to repair the house that we are busy all the time.  Things have been going well but very busy.  I have not forgotten this blog but have been very busy.  This web site is up for renewal and I am pondering some changes.  I am not [...]
