This morning I was mowing the lawn while listening to the “This Week in Google” podcast on my mp3 player.  I was listening to episode 42 when they spend the entire podcast speaking about Facebook and their perceived privacy issues.  They spend a considerable amount of time pointing out what they believed to be Facebook’s [...]

Friendfeed was Unfairly Attacked

May 09, 2010 Posted Under: Friendfeed, Google, Internet, blogging, broadcast, journalism, opinion

I can still remember the day vividly when Facebook purchased Friendfeed. There were those l will not name that immediately proclaimed that Friendfeed was dead.  It was a mantra that was so loud that even the most apathetic person around could hear.  It was almost as if the tactic of the media was used to [...]

Blog Down for Corrupt File

May 07, 2010 Posted Under: Flickr, Google, Personal, blogging, opinion, social networking

It was brought to my attention this evening that my blog was down.  Actually I knew it for a couple days because my browser defaults to this page.  Since we have had other priorities with working on the house, the web site took a back seat.  It was an easy fix and only had a [...]

Google Wave Disappointment

Nov 13, 2009 Posted Under: Google, Technology, opinion

For those of you that are sitting around on pins and needles waiting for an invite to Google Wave, do not waste your time.  I was doing the same thing from May until October until some nice gentleman sent me an invite.  This invite came in October, over a month ago and so far there [...]

Google Wave

Nov 01, 2009 Posted Under: Google, Technology, opinion

Last week I finally received my invite to Google Wave and I have not been able to test it the way I wanted to.  The problem is that Google has stopped allowing new invitees to be able to send out invites to others.  I think they are on a limited basis with some people but [...]

Google Wave Confusion

Oct 02, 2009 Posted Under: Google, humor, opinion

There seems to be some confusion with Google remembering my gmail account because I have not received my invite yet.  A couple days ago they were to send out 100,000 invites for testing and I still have not received mine .  Just kidding!  I am sure that anything that receives the amount of attention this [...]

View Larger Map I just tried Google Maps for the first time in a while and it is really nice. I was amazed at how well I could see our home in England when we were in the Air Force.  The above address it 34 Adastral Close, Felixstowe, Suffolk, England.  It is phenomenal how clear and [...]

Google Reader

With all the news lately about Facebook purchasing Friendfeed last week and everyone saying they were going to go to Google Reader I thought I would move some stuff.  For the last week we have been hearing “Friendfeed is dead” to a point that it is ridiculous.  The truth is that Friendfeed is NOT dead [...]

Giving up on Gmail

Jul 19, 2009 Posted Under: Google, Internet, Personal, email, opinion

A while back I finally succumbed to the peer pressure and started using Gmail as my email interface.  I allowed everyone to convince me of the virtues of dealing with Google since they are only second to Barack Obama, and Apple in their deity (sarcasm).  One of the reasons I allowed people to convince me [...]

Cry Baby Google Worshippers

Mar 20, 2007 Posted Under: Google, Technology, computer

Man I just experienced the most juvenile crying spell on Flickr a while ago that it made me sick.  I was just on a Flickr page and noticed a unanimous crying spell from people that Yahoo has just committed the unpardonable sin… As of today March 20, 2007 you must now use a Yahoo ID [...]
