Now that it’s 2009, I have a large number of goals that I’m trying to accomplish. The problem is that my brain tends to think faster than I can document all of the ideas and plans that are formulating in my head. Usually I just try to keep all of my thoughts in my head, [...]

I was homeschooled for a large portion of my educational life, so the whole idea of study groups is a little foreign to me. There’s always more to learn, and collaborating with others can help you to expand your knowledge in new and interesting ways. A lot of the knowledge that gets exchanged is made [...]

As I grow older, I continue to realize how true the statement is that time really does fly by. Time moves fast enough in the real world, but on the Internet, things move even quicker. If you go offline for just a few days, it feels like you’ve missed a month’s worth of information. We’re [...]

When you go shopping, do you like to go by yourself or with someone else? For many people, social shopping is the only way to go and the idea of doing it alone just doesn’t cut it. Whenever I go shopping, I have a predetermined plan in place so that I can get in and [...]

The Internet provides us with many different ways to organize and present our pictures, but after some time, they all start to look and feel the same.

I’m not a photographer, so when it comes to using images, I rely on other people’s work. Unfortunately, a lot of people steal and use images online in any way that they want simply because it’s so easy to do, but that’s just not cool. If you’re building a Web site and need a good [...]

I remember the days when I used to have to use a piece of desktop software in order to make some changes to a picture. I was never any good at doing that, and I’m still not, but at least it’s easier today. I can’t recall the last time that I fired up some image [...]

One of the biggest problems that people have with reading content online is just that: reading content online. A lot of us are spending more and more time on the Internet, and you can only read so much content before your eyes refuse to read anymore. Others have had enough of reading straight text delivered [...]

Bookmarking Web pages on the Internet is something that we’re all used to. At this very moment, I have so many pages bookmarked that I don’t even know what I’m going to do with all of them. In addition to the pages that I have bookmarked, I also send URLs to people and receive them [...]
