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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Oh no!  As I posted earlier last week I spent the entire weekend putting my blog back online specifically because I updated to the latest version of WordPress 2.6.  I just posted another post and right on the top of the page is says… WordPress 2.6.1 is available!
