Where is the wonder?

Lately I have been feeling somewhat down. Why? I miss the feeling of wonder about certain things I encounter when I was younger (teenager and younger) than I do now. I’m current 42 and part of me made the mistake of checking out a DVD of the Doctor Who episode, Castrovalva. I really enjoyed that [...]

Struggling between being practical and taking risks

As a business owner and entrepreneur I struggle with one major thing. Historically I have been what some would classify as “cheap”, not cheap in the sense I settle for poor quality but cheap in the sense I hate to spend money or to go into debt.
I’ve never had a “huge” problem with debt in [...]

Thankfulness in challenging times

I don’t know about many of you but I’ve about had it up to “here” with the doom and gloom reports. Global Warming, the mortgage crisis, drought (in my neck of the woods anyway), rising gas prices, the possibility of a recession.
As my wife and I were driving around one day on a job I [...]

I’ve been away but…

I’ve been away for a few days as I have been dealing with some health issues; upset stomach, back pain, etc. However it appears I’m on the mend now.  I’m going to make this post short but I did want to announce I plan on shutting down and/or selling the domain that inspired this blog, [...]

Managing Unread Bookmarks

How often do you bookmark a bunch of Web sites to “read later” on to have a long list in your bookmark root directory? Instead of relying on the bookmarks on your own computer consider switching to Del.icio.us and using the Readeroo plugin with Firefox manage your bookmark to do list.

Macs, OS X And My Passion For Apple

It’s only fitting that only the release day for Leopard I share my story of my long love for Apple and their products. I may be older than a lot of bloggers but my life pretty much mirrors the development of the personal computer and the Internet. Even though my vocational passion is now [...]

Making The World Wide Web Less Wide

One of this visions I had when I first got on the Internet in the mid 90’s was find more local people to network with, bring local communities closer together. During my early days on the Internet this was not very easy. Most of the local News web sites were static and extremely [...]

Abandoning Bookmarks For…

Since the early days of the web and specifically web browsers the most popular was of saving links you wanted to revisit was through bookmarks as they were originally known on Netscape and now Firefox or Internet Favorites on Internet Explorer however as I’m sure many of you have noticed it’s so easy to bookmark [...]

Sometimes A Shorter Domain Is Not Clearer

In my last post I talked about url shorting services but occasionally a shorter url or reducing everything to one short word does not convey the clearest meaning. One glaring example can be found on one of those Adopt-A-Highway signs near my house. The sign says this highway adopted by gotradon.com . Being the sci-fi [...]

Concise Hyperlinks - Making long ones short but meaningful

First of all I want to thank the Lockergnome, Chris Pirillo himself for making known the urltea service. For a long time the only service I knew of that could turn long url’s or web addresses into something shorter that could be used in e-mails or micro blogs like my Twitter account, etc.
At first when [...]
