I haven’t always been very good about backing up my files. To be quite honest, I’m still not. Like many of you, I’ve lost files in the past without having any backups, and when that happens, you promise yourself that it’ll never happen again. However, a false sense of security seems to have a way [...]

I’m not good at throwing parties and it shows. If I have people over to my house, we usually just hang out without any sort of agenda or intricately planned activities. That works for me, and if someone wants to throw a party, they’re not going to consult with me. There are so many things [...]

I never used to drink tea until I got married, and while I still don’t drink a lot of it, I do enjoy a cup every now and then. If you think people take their beer and wine seriously, then you’ve never met a fanatical tea drinker. There’s a whole subculture of tea drinkers who [...]

The days of going to a Web site and checking to see if new content has been posted are long gone. Just think about how much time we all wasted by constantly refreshing pages only to find that there wasn’t anything new to see. Yes, RSS has spoiled us. This content delivery method saves me [...]

I’m not a designer, and the world is better off because of that. I’ve worked with a couple of designers before, which means that I understand the struggles that they have to deal with.

In this economic climate, it’s no wonder that consumers are trying to make their money stretch more than ever before. Many of us may not have even thought twice about going into a store and purchasing an item without doing any comparison shopping, but that’s just not a smart way to shop. The Internet offers [...]

If you enjoy having conversations with other people, then there really is no better place to be than the Internet. While it’s great to talk with people in person, the Internet makes it possible to talk with people from all over the world. Usually this is done through text using Web sites, blogs, e-mail, social [...]

Don’t you hate it when you have to use your e-mail address for something trivial online? I understand the need to provide your e-mail address for the creation of certain accounts, but some of the things that ask for your e-mail address only need to use it once and may end up spamming you with [...]

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, [...]
