You made it! Thanks for visiting.

Type the wrong URL, your computer could go BOOM!

October 8, 2001

I have a little extra time this week, so I decided I would find an extremely thought-provoking aspect of technology to write about.

Then I thought, forget that, I'll just put together a couple of essays from my volumes of research on the adult Web site industry. Then I thought, no, I should really save that for something big, like Columbus Day. So I landed somewhere in between for this week's column.

Chat programs in style

October 1, 2001

I must be way out of the loop.

It seems as if everyone I know is using a chat program. What's worse, it seems as if they are all using different programs.

It's a crazy survey

September 24, 2001

This is a column that everyone must read. It beats all compatibility tests, all love quizzes, all personality exams. It's the exam of all time.

It determines just how crazy you are.

E-mail forwards given a different meaning in a time like this

September 17, 2001

If there's one type of forwarded e-mail that grows old quickly, it's chain letters.

Online hairdos and don'ts

September 10, 2001

To once again prove you might find anything in this column, with the exception of celery, this week's column is about hairstyles.

Have I devised a way to get your hair cut online? No.

Have I made a searchable database with everyone in the United States with their current hairstyles? Not yet.

Was I having trouble coming up with an idea and took the first one suggested to me by a friend? Well, maybe.

Comcast possibly filtering some domains

October 13, 2008

This morning, I was having issues accessing certain news sites that I always visit, including the Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal and the Baltimore Sun. Of course, I figured it could be a million different things, from an Internet connection problem to an ad-serving issue to the hamsters not spinning their wheels fast enough to power the internets.

I was once fond of a font

December 11, 2000

Today, we will start with a short rhetorical quiz. This means you actually don't have to say the answers out loud or bubble in letters on a standard form. All you have to do is keep reading, and the answers will be revealed!

Question 1: How is a font used in HTML?

A. To carry holy water from URL to URL

B. Either to sacrifice a runner to second or third, or you can try the suicide font, which means someone scores

C. To define what text will look like on a certain page

Obsolete skills

February 20, 2008

As people make advances every day in technology, we also lose stuff that we don't need to know anymore. When was the last time you rewound a videotape? If you can think of anything you don't need to know anymore, check to see if it's on this list of Obsolete Skills.

I don't agree with all of them (you still need to know how to compute sales tax if you are a business owner!), but it's a pretty good list nonetheless.

Book review: "The Science of Leonardo" by Fritjof Capra

February 15, 2008

I'm not absolutely certain about this, but I think I have a similar basic understanding of Leonardo Da Vinci as your typical educated U.S. citizen. I know he was a brilliant artist during the Renaissance and dabbled a bit in science and engineering endeavors.

Finished! Well, not really

November 28, 2007

I finally completed the last chapter of "Polos to Ties." I wish I could say that I'm ready to publish, but I have plenty of cleanup left to do. Right now, I'm sending queries and proposals to literary agencies, hoping that one of them will push to the major publishing houses. I've had interest, but I still haven't inked a deal just yet.

Also, I'm in the process of selecting an editor or two to help refine my novel. I'll post more details when I announce my picks.
