December 11th, 2007 · 3 Comments
Tis the season for 2008 predictions. I always love when Tom Merrit and Molly Wood (and the well missed Veronica Belmont) do their predictions on the CNET podcast Buzz Out Loud. So I thought it might be fun to post five of my own predictions.

Christmas in the Desert
November 27th, 2007 · 1 Comment
It’s been six months now in Phoenix and I haven’t once thought about using a heater. That is until yesterday morning. Getting up at 5:30 AM is chili. It’s not nearly as cold as it gets in other parts of the country, but I’m sure those residents have had the heater on for a few [...]

Cocktails.com and Reno Social Networking
August 8th, 2007 · No Comments
While Tech Alliance didn’t have the official domain name cocktails.com, these Reno events were my first introduction into social networking…the kind you do in person.

July 18th, 2007 · 6 Comments
I consider myself smart, but I’m no Albert Einstein. I would venture to guess you feel the same way. We want to be on a higher plain of thinking, but for some reason we are stuck in our current set of thoughts. Little goes by day to day to substantially grow our knowledge and we [...]

June 13th, 2007 · No Comments
If you haven’t watched the last few minutes of Diggnation - Episode 100, you are missing out. They put together a collection of clips from the last 99 episodes. I was laughing so hard, my face hurt. The only thing that sucks, was nothing from Reno. What’s up with that?

I have worked on both the Windows and Mac OS X platforms at various times throughout my career. Not just exploring or learning, but as my full time work computer. They both have their pros and cons.

Link Comeith and Goeith
May 9th, 2007 · No Comments
I found something interesting today. Apparently this week, the Wikipedia article on Twitter linked to my 5 question interview with Twitter developer Alex Payne under the References section.
