In case you missed it, yesterday, news spread around the blogosphere of Nike’s new “old” concept shoe from Back to the Future II. Current bid on Ebay, at the time of this writing, is forty-five hundred dollars. So, if you’re someone who has that kind of money and has to have the shoes, what the heck are you waiting on? I wonder if they have, or will ever release a pair, that isn’t so bulky. [...]

It would be nice if Apple would release an update for Safari that addresses the issue of the broken Web Inspector, that they broke. It used to be, if you had developer tools enabled in Safari, when you right click on something and then click “Inspect Element”, Safari would do basically the same thing that Firebug for Firefox does. It brings up a little inspector at the bottom of the page for you to view [...]

Over on Google+, Chris Pirillo asked everybody what their favorite movie is and why. Every time I hear this question, the first movie that always pops in my head is Backdraft. Every time. Without digging any further into the vast collection of movie titles up there, Backdraft is always the first one to pop up when someone asks what my one favorite movie is. From the actors, to the story, even the sound. The sound!! [...]

Where do you draw the line?  The line that separates what you will share with people online, and what you keep private?  And, I don’t mean identification data like your name, address, phone number, etc. That is information that some people put out there just to project themselves as being open. I mean, things that are actually personal to you. Like…I don’t want to hear about how you felt while you were in bed with your [...]

I think I would urge people to keep their Facebook account.  Lately, I’m seeing a lot of people say that they’d like to just delete their Facebook accounts and stick with nothing but Google+.  What they’re forgetting, is that competition is a good thing. I’ve even seen at least one person say they were doing away with their blog due to the posting capabilities of Google Plus. Anybody notice that Facebook didn’t even have video [...]

When setting up a wordpress blog for a client, do you spend extra money on a premium wordpress theme, which is essentially going to cost them more money, do you set it up with a free wordpress theme, or do you build your own theme, catering to the needs of the client? Do you take screenshots of what their wordpress blog will look like when it is finally set up and then email them asking [...]

Troll The link above is to a movie that came out in 1986 called “Troll.” Anybody recognize the names of the two leading roles? o_O Coincidence? I don’t know. I thought it was also funny that two of the people who played roles in the film have the same last name as a character in another novel by J. K. Rowling. I came across this today as I was looking at the cast for the [...]

Apparently, I don’t even use them anymore. I posted a link on Google+ a while back just so that I could have a reference for the page later on. Then, a while after that, I thought, “Why didn’t I just add a bookmark in Safari?” Then, I remembered. I hate bookmarks in Safari. I can hardly believe that after five updated versions of Apple’s web browser, they haven’t added a “New Folder” button when I [...]

About three days ago, I vowed to myself that I would use a browser other than Safari, exclusively, for at least a week. About three days in, I started really missing my Reader feature in Safari that makes all the font bigger, allows me to read and print without all the sidebar noise, and is extremely easy to use and navigate. I’ve written about Reader before. The other day, I ran a Google search to [...]

For a little background on where this came from here’s a link. I’m done with the discussion on names.  I just have one more thing to say before I’m done with it all.  If you think that you can trust someone more just because you’ve recently learned that their real name is actually Bob Smith, “Then I’ll have Tommy come back there and hit you over the head with a hammer because you are a [...]
