Yahoo! Email Was Hit

Mar 20, 2010 Posted Under: Personal

If you are in my email list, you probably received a series of spam messages from me this morning.  My first hint that something was wrong when I suddenly started getting all these email delivery failure messages.  These are the messages that tell you that the person you sent an email to does not exist. Then [...]

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 [...]

Poison Ivy Almost Gone

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 [...]

Bing.com

Jun 03, 2009 Posted Under: Internet, Technology, opinion

Today was the official launch of Bing.com, Microsoft’s new search engine.  This is the successor to MSN.com’s search and I must say that I like it.  Probably what piqued my curiosity was the fact that it was from Microsoft.  I am not a huge Microsoft fan by any stretch but I tend to give them [...]

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 [...]

Yahoo to Rebuff Microsoft

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

You may remember last week I posted a message about Microsoft making an unsolicited bid to take over Yahoo for $44.6 Billion last week. The buzz going around on the Internet today is that the Yahoo board has met secretly and decided they would not even consider an offer of less than $40.00 per share. [...]

Microsoft offers to buy Yahoo

Feb 01, 2008 Posted Under: 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 [...]

More Google Worship

Oct 08, 2007 Posted Under: Internet

In a story on MSN entitled “Google’s market cap tops Wal-Mart’s” I see some more of the media’s irresponsible reporting.  One of the reasons that I avoid Google is because of this worship of them that tends to be prominent.  In this story they tell how Google’s stock price has gone to an inflated $600.00.  [...]

Finally Skype is getting some recognition

Mar 20, 2007 Posted Under: Skype, Technology, VoIP, computer

My friends and I have used Skype for a couple of years now but have had a hard time getting others to use it.  The problem is that people have so many instant messengers that no one thinks there is a need for another one.  These people use either MSN, AOL, or Yahoo, or ICQ [...]
