Techie comes to terms with middle-of-the-road computer

For a few months now, I have been badly in need of a new computer. Mind you, when I say I need a new computer, my existing computer is probably still in more than tolerable condition for most noobies. But I'm a techie, remember?

I need the latest and greatest. I live on the edge. I'm an early adopter.

Which is why a 3-year-old computer running Windows XP simply won't do any more.

The need for the best

I typically spend 2-3 times more on my computers… Continue

Cycle of Buzzword Oblivion

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.”

Macbeth, Act 5, Scene… Continue

Emotion

Over the holiday, I went and saw a movie with my wife called “The Blind Side”.

You’ve seen the trailers. It has Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and a gigantic African American high school student from the wrong side of town.

I wasn’t interested in seeing this movie at all. The reason was that I already knew exactly what was going to happen. So did you.

Here’s what I thought the storyline would be – We are introduced to a disadvantaged poor kid from a bad part of… Continue

Christmas Stimulus

Over the weekend I listened to many reports about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Spending was up a little on Friday but not by much. (better than a decline) The Monday following Black Friday has picked up the moniker Cyber Monday due to the huge numbers of people that get online to do some shopping (managers get the policy manual out).

I was not a fan of the stimulus package, specifically the payments that went out to people. No need to resurrect that debate. However, it occurred to… Continue

Eclectic Might Not Be in an Office Furniture Store

Today many marketing and advertising companies want a very creative, eclectic environment. CPAs, lawyers and architects are getting away from the formal look and prefer a homey atmosphere. Some medical doctors are removing the sterile feel from their offices. And even if not the entire office, many professionals choose to have a few unique pieces to accent and soften the formality.

This allows for fun furniture shopping - garage sales, auctions and used furniture stores to name a… Continue

Web 2.0 Expo in New York

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking at the Web 2.0 Expo in New York. My session went very well and we got excellent feedback but I also had a wonderful time attending the other presentations and learning from other speakers.

The first session that really piqued my interest was "The Elephant in the Room: Social… Continue

Nope.

That isn’t to say that your dog may not be carrying something else that could infect your child, but pinworms aren’t one of them. Pinworms are human parasites. They don’t infect dogs and cats. So if your child gets pinworms, he or she got…

Reasons To Say "No Comments"

As my blog Turning Left Against Traffic barrels into another year, readers and dissenters seem to offer one unifying query. Why does this blog refuse to permit comments? For the answer to this puzzling question, you will need to head down an electronic rabbit h***. Namely: venturing past this teaser paragraph into the heart of the post.
