Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will be returning to my area – the Myrtle Beach area – to build a second home for a deserving family.  The local builder has setup a website where you can see the needs for the build as well as other information about the family, location, etc. after ‘door knock’ next [...]

I’ve had a few posts stewing in the drafts folder here on the blog and I’m going to try and push a few of those out.  I can’t believe its almost been a month since my last post (ok, yes, I realize the Google Wave invite was not really a post).  I’m going to try [...]

Yesterday marked a milestone for me.  I signed on with this blog exactly one year ago yesterday, and I missed my anniversary.  It was only today that I noticed that my archives extended back to August 2008 and when I clicked in, found that my first post went live on August 4.

And I quote CNN today – “New services promise online life after death.”  No, its not fountain of youth, but it is a real issue that some have already found — what happens to your virtual you when you die?  How do you securely transfer domains and virtual “real estate” that could have real value?

This post is a little off topic.  Some of you may know that I met my wife while working on our college newspaper together over 10 years ago.  So, beyond the technology, one of my other niche passions is the news business, particularly magazines and newspapers.  (I, also, hate the 24-hour news and how its [...]

Yeah, so its a small milestone, but a milestone none the less.  There have been days where I wondered why I was posting anything or even had a blog, but the past month or two has been very rewarding – getting good feedback in the comments and finding that my posts are (hopefully) helpful to [...]

No, its not a new software title…  more of a current event.  Many have probably seen it on the news, but there is a massive wildfire in my area – the Myrtle Beach, SC area  - just a few miles away from where my family and I live and work.
