Thought I would put these up in case anyone with Vonage VOIP service was looking for Vonage diagnostic tests and tools. They have some beta diagnostic software available as well as a very cool broadband speed test and network status tool available online. I have always used Speakeasy’s broadband speed test in the past, […]

I think I am late in the game on this one, but why have we (read: I) been linking to Technorati for so long? Back in the day, I believe they at least started linking out to other sites. I am sure they got gamed, well, I know they got gamed but, what is the […]

For those of you who get excited about having your morning coffee, stay tuned to hear my final thoughts on the Krups XP4050 espresso machine. I have made a few posts in the past about my trials and tribulations with the XP4050. My first impression with the machine was that it was cheap…and, […]

I guess they have already. I was just reading VentureBeat’s write-up on GreyStripe. GreyStripe is an SF based company that wraps ads around downloadable mobile phone games. Oh, you don’t have any? Well, neither do I, but GreyStripe is reporting that they have served 14 million games that are using their technology IN THE PAST […]

Some interesting stats in an email I received this morning from Speakeasy (the geek’s broadband provider):
U.S. small business spending on Web hosting is growing by 9.5% annually. It is expected to reach $7.4 billion by 2009, when over 83% of small businesses will have an online presence, according to analyst firm IDC.
IDC also projects […]

Geez, I just updated one of my blogs and did a search a minute or two later (wasn’t planning on checking, but I will when I post this) and the excerpt below the page title in Google’s SERPs was showing text from the brand new post. That is pretty amazing. I have heard some things […]

I just read something really interesting and it is one of those things that makes you say, Duh.
U.S. Should Lead the World in Electricity and Fuel Diversity.
Sorry mom, but no shit.
As near 3rd world countries like, Brasil, manage to gain their energy independence we seem to be sitting around enjoying the finger pointing. Let’s just […]

My favorite Wordpress plugin of all time, bSuite, has a new version out. Casey Bisson’s plugin does it all from making the tags you put inside a simple tag in your post into links, to generating stats on what post are most popular, tracking top search referals (all search referals), where people are commenting, […]

I heard this definition early this morning and I thought it was pretty good:
Therapy is the process where someone helps you say better things about yourself.
Not sure why I like that so much, but I do.

So, some people out there may have heard that the City of San Francisco has been trying to get a municipal WiFi network setup for a while now. I am not sure what the status is, but it ran into some decent opposition (as it should have IMHO) when they brought on Google and Earthlink […]

If you don’t know what I am talking about, then you don’t need to worry about it. If you are into lossless music formats like Flac and you are tired of Microsoft Windows products not playing nice with your Flac and AAC/MP4 files, then you need the AudioShell extension. Not only does this little […]

In a clear sign that the “American Way” is to defer payments, American Airlines now has a Buy Now, Pay Later scheme for purchasing airline tickets. I thought you could only do that on a couch or television purchase.

Ok, I am sorry. I am getting pretty tired of the ridiculous people that companies choose to use to staff their sales and customer service facilities. We have all had the Indian guy on the phone, with the half second lag between talking and listening. Now it seems that Mexico is the next […]

I am sure there is going to be some yahoo that reads this and gets pissed that I even used a title like that, but what they heck. Based on my experiences in life it certainly seems to me that there is a large percentage (more than a majority) of people in this beautiful […]

Ok, more proof that the internet is helping to make many businesses and products into commodities. I recently found someone who was doing logo work for $10. Plus, he will do some revisions for you for that same dollar amount. Many people I know pay a few hundred bucks to get a new logo […]
