I still remember trying to connect my new Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop in my dorm room the first week of college (all the way back in ‘99 - yikes) and having the nerdy dude on my floor help me figure out how to connect the Ethernet cable to the dongle to the computer. The […]
I’m traveling to Tampa this weekend for a family sports vacation or something of the sort. On Friday, we’re going to the first round of the NCAA tournament. For those of you who have never experienced an opening day at the tourney it is quite the trip. By the middle of the […]
I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to Facebook. I just like to use the site to better understand the future of the Internet. At least that is what I say to myself. I even wrote this thoughtful post evaluating the service a few months back.

I spend anywhere from 30 minute to over an hour reading various blogs each night. I subscribe to all my blog feeds (over 50 in all) through Google Reader. This allows me to only have to go to one website to get all of my information. Put all my blogs together and it […]
