Digital Decade to Connected Community

I heard this on a TV commercial and thought it worthy of repeating. It just stuck in my head. “We’ve left the digital decade behind, and now we’re moving into the era of the connected community.” So what does that mean? Well, often I have to look back at where I’ve been, in order to [...]

Type n Walk

It was one of those moments that make you laugh out loud. Today I made this observation about teenagers at the mall; their typical posture is the slouching walk while staring at the screen of their phone or iPod. How do they avoid walking into things while texting their friends? Wouldn’t it be cool if [...]

iPhone 3G

I just got an iPhone by taking advantage of AT&T’s $99 upgrade option. And why not? They’ve been taking advantage of me for years, at 45 cents a minute! Apple has announced their new iPad, and I’m just now getting an iPhone. But isn’t that the way it is? How many of us can afford [...]

Mozilla Firefox Turns Five

Mozilla Firefox is celebrating their fifth anniversary.  Five years is a long time, especially online where things are constantly changing and evolving.
