Maybe two months from now will mark the 15th year I have been on the web. This will be October 29, exactly at 10:30am, 15 years to the minute when I inserted a floppy disk labeled “Mosaic” (in perhaps a Mac Quadra 900) that my Maricopa colleague Jim [...]

Perhaps your head is exploding with all the new stuff coming out of every electronic orifice. It might be useful to consider how you go about getting your dose?

I love it when curious link clicking reveals unknown gems! It happened again just an hour ago, with the result of a great video collection tool.
Almost by sheer accident- discovered following a tweet by Judy O’Connell to her web 2.0 presentation on Slideshare, that I came across this nifty new site, vodpod. Here you can [...]

Talk about serendipity! I can count on one or two paws the number of times I've clicked on a Google AdSense ad. But in reading my inbox in Gmail, someone wriote about blog writing, and there was a link to Free Web Word Processor for your Blog.

 I bit and look what I got!

I just love it when I find something cool on the web by accident. We Blog Cartoons does something almost no other cartoon site does– it lets you republish the cartoons without any copyright restrictions (how many times have you used that New Yorker one about “no one in the internet knows you are a [...]
