Footprints in the aether

November 11th 2008

Once again, I find myself following the path of the Honorable Reverend Jim. He’s been using this new fangled gadget called Ping.FM to update all his social networks at once. I liked it and started using it. I also found a handy-dandy Wordpress plugin, called pingpressfm, that’s supposed to update those same social networks when [...]

Andventures in Parenting

March 16th 2008

So, today was our first official session of WoW together, me and The Boy. We did two quests together before it was time to stop and do some chores.

I hadn’t had pho for over a week. I know, I know … heinous! In any event, I was really looking forward to beefy soup goodness for lunch today.

Silence is golden

July 2nd 2007

I’ve been keeping an eye on sites like Digg and Boing-Boing, MacSlash and UneasySilence since Friday’s launch. As has been pointed out, I do have a vested interest in all this; I work for AT&T and am an Apple fan-boy. The over all impression seems to be … not bad.

On instant messengers and The Google

June 13th 2007

It’s been about a week now and there has been no noticeable change in the level or frequency of communication with those I am in contact with on a daily basis. In case you hadn’t noticed, I have not been on AIM or Yahoo! or ICQ for a bit, though I have still retained my [...]
