Hello, Chris!
I have noticed on many of your YouTube videos that you love to bash your own teaching skills, often referring to how you have been kicked out of your family’s will over arguments about Outlook Express, etc. I come to you today with some tips on how I teach people. [...]

Dear Chris,
While on YouTube recently, I stumbled across some videos that I thought were really interesting, and figured I would share them. The reason I want to share them is because they express two of my loves — music and technology — and fusing them together [...]

Chris,
I did a search on your blog and noticed you haven’t blogged about this yet. I’ve been using a widget-creating Web app from Widgetbox.com to link to my blog on blogspot.com (to see my “blidget” in action, visit my MySpace page [the profile is NOT set to private], and to view the blog, go here). [...]

Hello, Chris! I thoroughly enjoyed your chat with Earl Thibert; it is nice to know that his disability hasn’t prevented him from being who he wants to be. I applaud him heavily for what he’s doing, though I would love to ask him how he got into computers. I feel bad because [...]

The Puppy Grows And Knows Your Name Poodle, on the surface, appears to be a great toy for kids. But only about 3,000 names are programmable, and if [...]

We love it when the tech news we watch sparks healthy debate! In this case, Robert Alvarez, author of the report cited here, responds to yesterday’s feedback:
I appreciated the comments of Hal Pawloksi’s daughter, who works at the DOE’s Los Alamos National Laboratory. However, I’m not sure she has read my actual report, versus the [...]

In response to yesterday’s Why GNEP Can’t Jump To The Future, Hal Pawlowski writes:
Forwarded the article by Robert Alvarez to my daughter who holds a post doc position at Los Alamos Nuclear Labs for comment. FYI she is exploring a career in the nuclear energy field as she feels (as I do) it is the [...]

Sometimes, the email surprises me. This is especially the case with some of the email about the Julie Amero case that has been discussed on these pages and links given on FlyingHamster. A number of the correspondences have centered on the theme that I (and people who are drawing attention to the Amero matter) are [...]

There has been a deluge of misinformation on Net Neutrality (NN) published in the last few months. With a crucial vote scheduled for this week in the House, We hope you will look at the attached materials with an open mind and present both sides of this complex issue in your blog. The following are [...]

In response to news that Nissan is developing a gas pedal safety feature, Gnomie Ben Oddo writes:
What a waste of time, effort, and technology. If a driver is too stupid to recognize that a head-on collision is imminent, then that person should not be allowed behind the wheel. Second, if this so called safety system [...]

“Welcome to the Gripe Wiki. We’ve set this up as a place where readers of Ed Foster’s GripeLog can organize and share their experiences and opinions in the way they think best. Right now we’re still in experimental mode, so we’re going to leave the wiki basically open and unstructured to see how readers think [...]

A recent ZDNet article, “Firefox: When is a flaw not a flaw?” presented an interesting point:
One reader even took issue with the claim that Firefox is inherently more secure than [Internet Explorer]. “Firefox may offer some ’security through obscurity,’ but once it gets to any sort of critical mass, then it will be targeted. [...]

After posting an article yesterday about the Web Hosting Toy Drive, today I noticed they had received over $1,000 in donations. Proof that there are many giving people, not only in the Web hosting community but in the community of the Internet itself. Once the group had hit $500, the generous folks at [...]
