Why I hate the cloud.

I have had a Gmail account since Gmail opened it’s second round of invites years ago. Users had five invites and because I was only two degrees separated from someone at Blogger, I got one. It was like gold and it was amazing. Within days I stopped using Outlook and started to rely on Gmail [...]

Since launching Windows Phone 7, it’s marketshare has dropped 38% which means that by the time that Nokia introduces Windows Phone 7 devices, the OS may be about as popular as the Symbian OS it dropped in support of Windows 7.

My friend Karen posted some thoughts on Twitter about ebooks and readers. Been thinking about how e-books/Ipad exclude poorer readers. Continued….

This is Wendy and this is what happens when Jordon doesn’t log out of his weblog and leaves me unattended.

Over the years I have used a lot of Palm products. My first was a Palm IIIxe which was great until it was stolen, a Palm m105 replaced it (it was stolen as well), and later a Sony Clie PEG-SJ10. I decided to try out a Treo 90 the other day for reasons which I [...]

Yesterday I finally broke down and bought an iPod Touch. I am not sure if I will keep it. The nerve damage in my hands make it almost impossible to use. That being said, the WordPress app I am using works amazingly.

This was a part of a different post I decided to split out to it’s own idea. It’s going to offend some of you but that’s okay once in a while. If you are offended, I am sure you can figure out the comments. I have been asked recently by some pastoral friends of mine if [...]
