I am a TWiT
As most of you already know I am a super huge fan of TWiT and Leo Laporte. Someday I hope to be a guest on the show but that is not what this article is about (some may have wondered because of the title).
Geoff Smith of www.ringtonefeeder.com wrote a very cool song called “I [...]
eBay – The Glory Days
I’ve recently started listing items on eBay again and it got me thinking about the changes I’ve seen in the past 10 years.
When I first signed up on eBay, a little over 10 years ago, you didn’t need a credit card and there was no such thing as “Buy it now”. eBay was still full [...]
Follow up to “If I were a TWiT who would I want to be?”
In my previous post “If I were a TWiT who would I want to be?” I said I would like to be like Steve Gibson. While is is who I would like to be, I’ve been told that I am already like one of the regular TWiTs. Can you guess who? For those that know [...]
Top 10 reasons I hate Facebook
Everyone knows what I am up to – Does “John the Janitor” at my old elementary school really need to know what I’m doing?
All the notifications are annoying – I know you can turn them off but that’s not the point.
People upload and tag photos of you – then you have to approve or deny [...]
BitTorrent and the Legitimate Use of P2P
Joe Stewart wrote a short article about BitTorrent and the legitimate use of P2P networks. It was written back in 2004 but I believe it still speaks of things that are relevant today.
It seems that some people still think that BitTorrent is evil but do not understand that BitTorrent is simply a protocol and nothing [...]

Website for sale (saveload.org)!
I’ve decided it’s time to move on so I’ve decided to put saveload.org up for sale.
Why am I selling it? I don’t really have time to update it each and every day like it needs to be and I’ve got a couple other ventures in the making that will be better for the pocket book [...]
I’m now published by someone other than myself!
My brother-in-law and friend Mike (from DropTheMike.com) has published a short article I wrote for his blog. It’s a post about upgrading to Windows Vista from Windows XP.
I have yet to see the reasoning one would want to upgrade to Vista. I’m not even sure it should be called an upgrade. Just because it’s new [...]
If I were a TWiT who would I want to be?

If I had the choice to be like [...]
