I know it has been a long time since I have posted here – and am not sure if anyone will stumble across this post or blog – but wanted to jot down a few notes. Sometime earlier this year, I decided to withdraw from many of my online activities and interests to focus more of [...] Related posts:

5 Simple Steps for Getting Started with Twitter

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:57:03 +0000

A few days ago, I wrote about my own introduction to Twitter, and why it is different than all of the other social networks out there. Today, I want to share a few simple steps for getting started. I share these ideas from the perspective of one newcomer to another. Although I have found Twitter to be [...] Related posts:

Twitter Enables More Than People to People Messaging

admin — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 18:56:32 +0000

Yesterday, I posted a piece titled “Web travelogue from a twitter neophyte – it’s all about the people“, which described a few of the people I have met on Twitter since signing up a few days ago, and why Twitter seems different to me than other social networks. In what is starting to look like a [...] Related posts:

Web travelogue from a twitter neophyte – it’s all about the people

admin — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 14:05:57 +0000

Twitter? Yet another social network? Time is everything these days. I have a full time career that keeps me very busy, two children to raise the best that I can, any number of interesting writing, music, and web development side projects unfolding around me, and an ever evolving desire to journey along a spiritual path. In my [...] Related posts:

His Holiness The Dalai Lama is now on twitter

admin — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:20:23 +0000

It’s only been a day or so, but OHHDL has 5,686 followers on twitter at the time of this netfxcafe post, myself included. Actually, the O seems to stand for Office, as in "Office of His Holiness The Dalai Lama", but none the less, it will be very interesting to watch how they use twitter to [...] Related posts:

BlackBerry for kids? Not so much.

admin — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:38:20 +0000

In a bit of smart but slightly deceiving marketing, this item seems to be hitting the hive mind –> LeapFrog launches ‘BlackBerry for children’ – Telegraph After taking a closer look, here are two salient info bits to consider: It’s targeted at kids as young as THREE years old. It doesn’t connect to the web… from which I gather, [...] No related posts.

You got WordPress in my Twitter

admin — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:53:52 +0000

I had a great lunch yesterday with my friend Frank. Well, the lunch was OK, but the conversation with Frank was great. He’s been real active lately with Twitter. Additionally, much of our lunch discussion was about social media, RSS feeds, and how to take things to the next level and get a better handle on [...] Related posts:

Human error – is there really any other kind of error?

admin — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 22:25:34 +0000

I am amused that Google suddenly started warning users that ALL websites were dangerous. Google has, of course, fixed it, and has blamed the mistake on simple human error: Official Google Blog: “This site may harm your computer” on every search result?? But really now, what other kind of error is there? Even if their search technology messed [...] Related posts:

Joomla or Drupal?

admin — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 18:57:45 +0000

Time is money, as they say… so it is hard to always find the time one wants to explore and learn all the different systems that are out there. I am really comfortable with WordPress. And as I have written before here, I have done plenty of work with the beta version of Pligg. So where do [...] Related posts:

A few great sites

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 22:51:35 +0000

Here are some sites and services I started using in 2008 that I highly recommend: Jott – a great Voice to Text web app that handles short voice mails reminders, and much more. YouMail – a great (web enabled) replacement for your cell phone voice mail. Remember The Milk – to call this the best task management system [...] Related posts:
