I mentioned late last week that there was some talk about Smart Pricing, a technology Google Adsense uses to determine what sites/pages display what ads based on a number of different performance criteria.

Special prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, has put up an official website today on the Department of Justice web server. It is interesting to note that the grand jury will expire next week and that they have decided to launch this website today. Also of interest are the notices that Scotter Libby (V.P.

I looked outside today and saw the sun. That is not a big deal to most people, but when it is the beginning of the rainy season and it was supposed to rain today, it was a reason for me to get out on the bike. I figured I didn’t want to use up […]

DECT (digital enhanced cordless telecommunications) devices have been approved for use in the 1920 to 1930 MHz band here in the United States. Great, what the heck is DECT?
