You may have seen where I have written several posts about how the technology journalist community are all from the same place and have the same thoughts.  This has happened again about how they are all saying that Facebook will take over Google, Bing, Yahoo as the source for search.  I have to laugh when [...]

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 [...]

You know something? A couple years ago I started hearing people bashing Internet Explorer and I thought it was just a bunch of people with sour grapes. I thought these people were just so anti-Microsoft that they were piling on. I hear it all the time. Over time though, there has definitely been some noticeable [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In an all too familiar game, I am stuck playing the card that I do not wish to play.  This morning I called in a work order to have my Internet service provider (ISP) changed from AT&T Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) to Cox Cable.  Before you get too excited that I have finally seen the [...]
