Prompted by Matt Cutts' recent overview , I thought I'd give the new version of Google Reader a run through.  I've never been a fan of web-based news readers.  I've actually never been a fan of web-based applications in general because they get lost in my dozens of browser windows that get opened during the day.  I suppose I could

As I think I've written about before here, I'm contstantly in search of a good Blog writing software. Today, I came across WriteToMyBlog, an online blog editor.

The concept is pretty cool. A web-based AJAXy editor that allows posting of blog entries to any, or many, of your blogs (a feature I've never seen before).

It's pretty simple. Just

Over the years, I've accumulated way more hosting accounts than I can keep track of, including four dedicated servers.

It's easy to lose track of things as we move onto new projects and the old ones just hum along.

I had a catastrophe this morning caused by poorly configured server. If you're on a shared host, this likely cannot happen as

Up until today, the rest of that sentence was "...and nowhere to go."

I've been experimenting with various VOIP providers recently.

I've been using Vonage for a few years now and it has been giving me a bit of grief with technical issues. Several months ago, I was horrified at the prospect of calling their technical support department.

I’ve just upgraded to MacJournal 4 and am just using it now for the first time to write this blog entry.

I previously reviewed MacJournal 3 several months almost a year ago, and was impressed with it. I even registered it. I am, however, a fickle software user and stopped using it. I’d since changed to using Ecto to edit and

Official word is that google has acquired writely, a web-based word-processor, document collaboration, Microsoft Word killer -- one more step toward global domination for the big G.

I have a fundamental problem with browser-based tools like this. The web browser is becoming an operating system and with the separation between my real

Seems Apple has had enough of watching Bose SoundDocks fly off the shelves at a bone-jarring $299 each and getting only retail margins. They've just announced their own SoundDock killer. More features, more price, more margins at $349.

It has always bothered me at how difficult it can be to do things on a computer. This device that has been designed and refined into the ultimate productivity tool, just as often gets in the way.

In my work as a website publisher, there are many things that must be done to keep websites up and running, fresh with content, and to keep a

I'm a Mac user. I don't know if that sort of statement surprises people any longer, but it still surprises me to hear myself say it. I have been a "switchter" for a year and a half now and I really enjoy the combination of a very well designed graphical OS with Unix under the covers. I spend a good portion of my time in a Unix command line
