This morning I woke up to go to work and was still itching pretty bad though you could barely see it.  This evening when I came home from work I noticed something was different.  No itching at all!  After four and a half weeks it is finally on its way out and all I can [...]

Am I the only one that has noticed all the Apple hysteria these days?  If you turn on the television, watch any sitcom, or movie you will see everyone with a Mac.  If you go onto social networking sites or blogs around the world you will find similar sentiments.  This has become another follower story [...]

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 understand the temptation for signing up for the newest toy that comes out.  I have been paying attention to the computer industry for more than a decade.  One thing that has consistently been the story is the hatred people in the computer industry have for Microsoft.  Some of the stated reasons were because of [...]

Social Networking and SMS

Mar 27, 2008 Posted Under: Technology, Twitter, opinion, social networking

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 [...]

Feb 10, 2008 Posted Under: Internet, Technology, opinion

I went to work this morning and there was an email in my box telling me that Microsoft was trying to take over Yahoo.  I ignored it for most of the day for one thing, this is not the first attempt, and secondly I was busy.  Later when I went home, I looked up the [...]

Sometimes people tell me they would like to blog but do not understand how.  I have found an option for those that do not like technical things.  It is Microsoft Live Writer.  This is an application that is a “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) editor that will allow you to post to [...]

Facebook is Here To Stay.

Oct 25, 2007 Posted Under: Internet, Technology, social networking

I ran across this story on ZDNet about how Microsoft is investing $250 million dollars into Facebook.  This will make Microsoft the exclusive third party advertisement platform on Facebook.  If there was ever any doubt that Facebook was a solid player, this should put those doubts down.  Of course the Google lovers want to give [...]

Last June we bought an XBox 360 and many peripherals costing literally $1,500+ for the family and we just loved it.  It was so great at first.  My wife and kids all thought it was a very nice system with incredible graphic.  I loved the ability to share with Windows Media Center on one of [...]
