That me. Time to admit that time has marched on and I’ve just wandered about. This Internet thingy is a complex beast that has mastered me. Read more…

Here we go a Kindling…a Kindling…

October 8th, 2009 1 comment

Well, it isn't all that catchy unless we can work in on a frosty morning, somehow.  But, the airwaves are already heating enough to make that impossible.  Apple is introducing their new pad to compete.  Sony has revised their line and has the lowest price point.  Jeff dropped the Kindle price in preparation for more competition.  Even if you don't know what a Kindle is or don't want one if you do, you've heard of it on the six o'clock.  It is one of those news cycles being run by the PR flacks.

OK, confession.  I seldom read Waffles.  People who don’t have a feed enabled are getting a lot of that from me.  So, I went by this A.M.  Shouldn’t have.  He’s starting to make sense.  I fear the Alzheimer is kicking in. Read more…

I put up the info about the ‘value’ of the site.  It was done by a computer so it must be true, right?   Well, here is the skinny according to Google.  It is a bit low because I’ve been playing Witcher and some poker and negligent in posts. Read more…

Got a comment asking about my move to this site from my old one.  The two look more or less identical.  The software for the two isn't that different.  Neither is perfect but certainly are above adequate.  My reason for change was support more than anything.  GoDaddy was pretty much proof that when you go cheap you get cheap.  I'm now with justhost.com which is a true hosting setup.

Ready or Not; Here I Come

Who didn't play hide and seek as a kid?  In our adult world, that has gotten a whole lot harder. If you have a GPS enabled phone, you can go on Google and have it track your every move.  In San Fran, a young lady who had that setup had her purse stolen.

Anybody Interested?

We had some interesting comments in yesterday's blog.  It was about dealer tips and we, I thought, had a really nice exchange.  While comments are hugely appreciated by most bloggers – its our pay in many respects – it isn't the greatest medium.  Yes, you can subscribe to blog comments but it is still a bit of an awkward process.  That got me to thinking...

Cable V DSL
