I had a lot of trouble coming up with a short, catchy title for this article, and I’m still not sure if I got it just right. But the idea, which dawned on me a few days ago and is starting to nag at me, is not hard to ...
I’ve had a really exciting idea growing in my head for about a week now. I guess it germinated when I overlooked giving some credit for an idea on a previous post. Since then, I’ve been more aware of the people involved in stuff that I find interesting. ...
There are a lot of opinions out there about what makes a [[blogger]] different from a [[writer]], or even a [[columnist]]. Bloggers seem to be in their own category according to everyone who writes (either for a living or for the love of it) and is not actually a blogger ...
Apparently, I (along with anyone who is anyone) should already have known about a gem of a beta product called TinEye by Idée. Apparently, it’s been out for a few months. Apparently, it is freaking awesome. Apparently, people assume too much and don’t promote enough. You know ...
I’m going to try something new in this post. Aaron Brazell wrote an article on Technosailor recently noting the differences between western and eastern writing styles, especially when it comes to a column or opinion piece. In my never-ending quest to explore new avenues, I will try my hand at ...
Ok, for today’s rant, I’m going to pick on those folks that signed up for FriendFeed, added a few services, and then never logged back in. More specifically, I am going to pick on Steve Gillmor.

I was burning some time online a few days ago, and I came across this discussion on FriendFeed about last.fm versus Pandora. In the thread, this was my contribution: .. last.fm and Pandora are both great but, like Twitter and FriendFeed, have completely different goals. Pandora ...
Don’t get me wrong, I love last.fm. It’s a great service. I don’t think any other product comes close to providing the same functionality of building a music profile and then matching it against other users. No, that part I have absolutely no problem with.
I was going to write an opinion piece tonight, inviting my readership provide feedback on the best tactics I could employ to start moving toward blogging as a profession. Apparently, the wait for someone to offer me riches in return for writing for their blog tactic I have been ...

Just joined FriendFeed? Want to know some dirty secrets you can exploit to gain you popularity, followers and perhaps a bit of fame (or at least infamy)? If so, I have some tips for you! Keep reading and I’ll make you a master of the craft ...
Have you ever grumbled that a particular application you use doesn't work the way you want it to, or doesn't have a specific feature you want?
Sure you have. I have too. Everyone has. But what makes coders and developers different is that they usually hunker down and implement the ...
A rare weekend post today, on a topic that most people probably will not find interesting and some people will find extremely awesome. I am speaking, of course, of the dozens of plugins, mods, and other bells & whistles that I have added to this blog over time.
