It must be hard to scroll through the Associated Press feeds each morning and fill up the business section of the RGJ with stories. I write this because most of the AP stories are pretty irrelevant to readers in Reno and Sparks and I want to show some compassion to the effort that it must [...]

Walk through of Gmail for your domain

My wife is starting a new business and as her geek husband, it is my job to set up the company on email and calendaring. Since it is just a start up, there is no way I want to outfit the company with Microsoft Office or use Microsoft Outlook Express. I want the email to [...]

Where did all the patriotism go?
July 5th, 2006 · 1 Comment
Maybe it was just me or maybe it was just my small corner of the world here in Reno but I came away from the 4th with a lack of feeling of Patriotism. Its wasn’t without effort. I went to the events down at the Sparks Marina and there were things in the appropriate colors [...]
