The great firewall of……Australia

My blood has passed boiling point this week with the Australian government planning to put a mandatory firewall between me and the Internet. While the comparison to the Chinese firewall will be denied I am sure, this is essentially the same thing. A firewall will block all sites and content that the government decides are not suitable for us poor

I Guess It’s Not My Data…

So today I got a client's new website up and running. They had a service that basically built their website for them, which really wasn't working for them. I ended up changing the whole service. Before I did, I looked for a way to get all the photos off the old server. They had no FTP, no file manager and

A New Kind Of Comment Spam

I and others have been noticing a new kind of blog spam. Essentially relevant comments, being written by real people but linking to spam sites. I have noticed an increased number of these types of comments.

The problem with TV advertising

It is too sexy! When you look at the output on your television they are annoying and intrusive. To a marketing manager, or an executive though, the process of creating the ad is like living a little slice of Hollywood magic.

I have a hundred readers of a writing blog I maintain, and a couple hundred readers of a circus blog I started

Another Publication Moves to the Web

Yesterday, the Christian Science Monitor announced that it would be going to web-only publication. That isn't exactly true, as they will continue to produce a weekly news magazine in printed form. But the fact is, the majority of their work will now be done online. Of course, the transferring of periodicals to the web has been happening for quite some

Consumer Electronics Show 2009 Preperations!

It’s hard to believe that in about 70 days the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show will be upon us. I also cannot believe I am going to have to shell out nearly $2500 bucks which is the going rate for a hotel room during the event.

Apple – Podcast – App Store & Rest of Story

Apple really upset the developer community last month when it rejected several podcasting applications from being approved to the iPhone App Store. With the upcoming 2.2 iPhone software the real reason may now be known!

Not So Bright

Sometimes I'm not so bright. I don't always use my toys/tools to their best advantage. Oh, I'm using them, just not to the full extent they should be used. I've had my iPod for going on 3 years. GNC was the first podcast I ever listened to, and I have been around since before episode 200. All this time I've
