What a nice surprise that search results returned from Google now act like the are supposed to- a hover or a right/control mouse click on a link actually points to the site listed, rather than a re-direct via a Google.com address: This has been most annoying for blogging especially as I use Google to locate […]
Faster then a speeding meme, more hot that the surface of the sun, all one needs now for a “sexy” technology name is to tack on a “2.0”. Already tired and expired is putting an “i” in front of every noun, even more tired/ more expired is putting the “e” in front of everything. Submitted […]

Pity the 96% of the computing world stuck in virus infected, human interface rejected, bug detected operating systems. They act like they like it, but often the Freudian slips are visible.

I use the term “people” rather loosely: What is scarier is that somewhere out there is someone who would actually reply. Ahhh, the smell of spam frying in the junk mail folder. Sizzzzzzle…..
Guess who’s coming to town? Do you think they need a map? Can we expect future logos with cacti, gila monsters, and javelina? Will they take the company tubing down the Salt River? Can they handle the hot stuff from Los Dos Molinos? Will they check out Zoo Lights? After dowing some Killer Chili they […]

The October meeting was at South Mountain Community College, featuring a topic of Copyright, Not Copywrong. As our trend this year, we captured two of the […]
Shazam! Sit back and watch/listen to Brian Lamb’s first screen cast, “Beyond the Blog”, a whirlwind tour of weblogs, wikis, RSS, aggregators, flickr, social software, and more. Best quip, “Think of delicious as blogging without writing a weblog”. Awesome work, Brian, and your fans shall clamor for more.
