General Internet Explorer 7 Keyboard Shortcuts
I’m one of those users who prefers using my keyboard rather than my mouse to launch various programs and perform different actions. Not only do I find it faster, but I also find it easier. Each program you install will have a set of keyboard shortcuts. For example, all of the Microsoft Office application supports [...]
Windows Vista Video
As you might recall, a few weeks ago, I posted my thoughts on Windows Vista vs. XP on YouTube. The response was relatively strong, generating hundreds of comments. Most of ‘em were written in netspeak, but I believe you’ll get the general idea: “Vista actually isn’t ready for public release. The only thing i heard [...]
Responding Heads v3.5
I have always wanted to talk to my computer. Well, let me take that back – I talk to my computer all the time. I have probably called it every four-letter word in the book. It does not understand what I am saying though. It is just a dumb box of PC parts. If you [...]

Roker On Decaf!
I interviewed Al Roker a few weeks ago. Not really a big deal – unless you consider that I wanted to be a “weatherman” when I grew up. Seriously. No joke. Look at that freakin’ cloud, man! I still remember going to “WHO” company picnics as a kid (my grandfather worked at the radio tower [...]
PairUp
My wife and I just came back from a business trip that I went on to Paris, and this time, I didn’t have any available room in my schedule to meet with any other business contacts besides the ones that I was traveling to meet, but in the past, some of my trips have allowed [...]
