That somehow Cloud Computing runs, well, in the cloud! Now I know you all are smarter than that. Right? You know that somewhere, someplace way [...]

Fix Twitter name changes in TweetDeck: the Nuclear Option

August 12, 2009

Recently a number of my Twitter buds decided to change their twitter name. Why you ask? Well, that’s another blog post. Focus people focus.

April 27, 2009

Obviously I am taking the same chillax approach to updating my blog (sorry everyone) but I had a couple of minutes to spare this morning and while I eat my cereal and stare out the window at snow lightly falling wondering if my Mini Cooper with no snow tires will get into work without incident [...]

March 17, 2009

I received an email today from Dell informing me there were new updates available for my Dell laptop. I had to laugh when I read the description of the new version of the Dell Support Center application “1. Add new feature of passive marketing.” I consider my Dell laptop as my own and as such [...]

Do you Twitter in the bathroom?

February 17, 2009

Do you Twitter in the bathroom, catch up on your blog posts using Google Reader, type a couple of quick emails? Don’t be caught by co-workers and significant others when they hear the click, click, click of the keys on your mobile device. Please do us all a favor and use a mobile device with [...]
