It’s not mine, I swear!

I’ve been getting some questions as to the Bus pictured above in the header. No it’s not mine. It was parked at Walmart about a month ago and was too funny not to photograph, and somehow it made its way to my blog. Hopefully I’ll find a new image to replace it soon. Or maybe […]

Zoho, the Next Big Thing

I’ve been watching Zoho for a few months now after I found out about their Creator product which allows you to create online applications in minutes.

Google releases Google Docs

Google combined Google Spreadsheets with recently acquired Writely last night into one application with some major Google re-styling. http://docs.google.com/ At first I didn’t like, but it looks like they put in some new features for file exporting and such.

WriteToMyBlog – web based blogging client

Mark, from WriteToMyBlog commented over here a few posts ago on his new service. I was a little leery at first, not knowing if it was spam or not, but Lifehacker has picked up the lead so I guess it may be legit. Anyway it looks pretty neat and would do in a pinch on […]

Get yourself a router

Windows tip of the day: If you have a broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, etc), go down to your local Office Depot, Best Buy, or Staples and get yourself a wireless router. Even if you don’t need wireless. Why? Because those handy little wireless routers come with a firewall automatically configured. If you don’t need […]

WordPress is all about audio-video integration

Looks like WordPress now has support for Odeo. Add this to the YouTube and Google Video support and it just goes to prove that WordPress is all about audio and video integration. I guess my time has come to start a podcast… Technorati : Google Video, WordPress, YouTube, features, inline, podcast, video
