I have written about Windows Live before but I keep mentioning it because it has some of the coolest toys on the Internet these days.  It is interesting that many people discount Windows Live without even trying them simply because they are from Microsoft when they have no idea what they are missing.  It has [...]

Yesterday I uploaded all 300+ photos that my son and I took when we were in San Antonio.  I noticed that I have many sets that were duplicates so I began to use the collections feature Flickr has to offer.  I had several sets about San Antonio so I created a collection called “Trips” that [...]

I speak about social networking quite often and have raved about Facebook, Twitter, among others and more recently about Friendfeed.  When I first signed up for it a couple weeks ago, I really did not see the attraction but in keeping with my sign up for everything new attitude I signed up.  If you are [...]

In a funny attempt to get seen on Techmeme, Michael Arrington posted a one word blog post on Techcrunch last night and it has spread across the Internet.  That one word post was… “Twitter!” This post was though meant to be a joke, actually made it on Techmeme, along with about every other tech hobbyist’s [...]

As most of you know, I am an Internet junkie and love to play with social networks minus Myspace.  No matter how much I try, I just cannot get into Myspace.  I have grown to love Twitter because of its short messaging system (SMS) capability.  It is really nice to be mobile and get text [...]

I have seen several articles around the net the last couple of days such as Slate, Thomas Hawk, Peter Haus, John Murrell, and Eric Gonzolez posting about the end of email.  These articles either agree or disagree with the fact that children are abandoning email for social networking sites.  Many make the argument and even [...]

I was browsing Flickr and found many pictures that people had taken of the fires in California.  It is sad to see these people hurting.  I can hardly imagine what people are going through over there. This photo was taken by slworking, a Flickr user.  I have been watching some of the fire coverage on [...]

This weekend was the National Weather Center festival in Norman, Oklahoma.  This facility opened last year on the South end of the University of Oklahoma campus.  My son and I went to the festival to see our tax dollars at work.  We really enjoyed ourselves and were really impressed with the technology.  I am a [...]

I have been following an ongoing argument on someone’s blog about how Flickr is censoring people’s posts.  This guys just never gives up and is really self absorbed in his posts.  I am deliberately not putting the address of name or his website because any time you have controversy, traffic increases and I do not want [...]
