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.

Kick off the season online

September 3, 2001

Even though the college football season started two weeks ago, this past weekend was the real beginning. Just a few teams played last weekend, and most of the games were boring. They were so boring that even my nachos tasted funny.

But by the time you are reading this, you should have gotten a good fill of football. But don't let that stop you because there are plenty of Web sites in which you can get more in-depth analysis.

Check the Web for house remodeling tips

August 27, 2001

One of my friends just bought a house. He isn't the first person I've ever known to buy a house, and I doubt he'll be the last. But he bought a house, and someone suggested I write a column about it, so here it is.

There are many solutions to Web hosting

August 20, 2001

So you've got your Web page created. You have a great design, with every feature except a toaster. It's the greatest Web site you've ever seen, well, second to this one. But there's just one problem ...

How are you going to make it live?

The next thing you need to figure out is where the site will be hosted. Or better yet, you need to figure out what you expect from a provider.

Converse with your computer even when not at work

August 13, 2001

Just like any insane person, I do a fair share of talking to my computer. Amazingly enough, it never seems to talk back, even after the constant urging to get something done or to stop crashing.

Save money at the gas pump

September 10, 2005

I thought that maybe fewer people would drive since gas seems to be more expensive than an average vehicle. But I'm still waiting in traffic all over the place, on the way to and from work. Hasn't it occurred to anyone that we are all paying close to twice as much for gasoline as we did a year ago? Wouldn't they be interested in knowing how to conserve their fuel?

... and we're back

January 4, 2020

I've finally launched the new BenWoods.com. Yes, it looks a lot like the old one. I upgraded to Drupal 8 (from Drupal 7). I managed to go all of 2019 without writing anything on this site. I hope to write a little more, especially as I launch a new book in the upcoming months. Thanks for reading!

GAC: Adding music to a website

November 4, 2004

QUESTION

Do you think it's a good idea to have music playing in the background on a website?

AMANDA: YES

Feb. 14, Elton John exceeding love usage quota

February 15, 2003

What is love?
Baby don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me.
No more.

I'm not trying to take credit for the chorus of Haddaway's "famous" song. I guess it depends on who is asked if this would be considered famous or infamous. I still cannot get the image of Chris Katan and Will Ferrell from "A Night at the Roxbury" out of my head every time I think of this song. I'm also one of nine people on the planet who like that movie, and I'm still uncertain why.

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.
