Blogger’s Out, WordPress is in.

Over the years I’ve expressed my support for Blogger as a blogging platform, however Google and specifically the Blogger team have decided to stop supporting FTP. Well for me this just sucked. I had several blogs set up for me and other companies that relied on Blogger’s FTP publishing. I’ve used other blogging platforms, but [...]

Twitter Lists: Useful or Not Just Yet

Earlier this month (I know I’m behind), Twitter announced a new feature called lists. Immediately this reminded me something of Facebook Lists, but only on the top 10% of the surface. Once you dive in, there’s there are a lot more usable for the public (like twitter) but not the private (like facebook). My ‘A’ [...]

New Addictions: Bejeweled Blitz

About a year ago I found myself playing Bejeweled 2, a Tetris or Columns type flash game where you connect 3 or more gems in a row. It was fun and challenging and a perfect way to waste away time or clear your mind before bed. Last Friday, I discovered Bejeweled Blitz, on Facebook, a [...]

Ode to Three Wolf T-Shirt

Today’s wisdom comes from an Amazon Review: This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened.

Since I can remember I’ve received instant messenger spam on my AIM account. I ignore most of the random phrases they send. It wasn’t until today I noticed a trend. They are all user names with ‘coho’ within them. The funny part is… I don’t mind the spam. They show up at random and often [...]

OMG $17m Dollars!

Spammers are getting more and more cleaver. This piece of spam found its way into my work gmail inbox. This is a Hungarian variation of the Nigerian Money Scam or the 419 scam, where someone has a large sum of money they want to share with you, and all you have to do is provide [...]

TouchGraph visualized Facebook Friendships

Finally a Facebook app that is truly fun. The TouchGraph Facebook app allows you to visually weave a web of your facebook friends, based on photo information. Friends are grouped together based on shared friends links and who are tagged in pictures together. The grouping are what really surprised me the most. They grouped all [...]

Social Networking Checklist…

(Alt Title: Attention All Internet Stalkers)The social networking scene kind of crept up on me over the last 2 years.
