As part of the blog clean-up, I spent a fair amount of time cleaning up plugins and figuring out what I really want my little corner of the Interwebs to do. My mission with bringing blogging back is to own...

A fresh coat of paint
It was way overdue, but the blog has gotten a few facelifts and important changes to be aware of. First off, yes, that’s a brand new theme. The old one was not only quite stale, but it was starting to...
Replace Google Reader (and own your data too!)
In my search for a Google Reader replacement, I’ve decided that letting someone else be in charge is not really an option. Who’s to say that whatever I pick won’t alter the terms of the arrangement or disappear at a...
Google has declared war on the open Internet
I’ve been a self-described Google whore for a long time now. I started using the search engine not long after it first went public (and displaced then-giants like Yahoo and AltaVista), I got in on the Gmail beta way back...
SimCity, New Releases, and the Value Proposition
A little game by the name of SimCity was released last week after a decade since the last release (or, in Internet terms, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth). I’ve personally been pretty excited about it, but I don’t really like...

There’s a niche for everything (and competition for it too)
Nathan was being kind of a pill about going to sleep tonight (it took the both of us about three hours to get him to zonk out) and one of the weapons we (and by “we” I mean Shauna) tried...
Self-driving cars should also be self-parking cars
Almost any time you go to Costco, you’ll find the parking lot crammed to capacity. I normally don’t really care about this and just park wherever I can find a space quickly although some stores have Valet Parking Software to...
No, Mike, you’re wrong. You shouldn’t blog exclusively on Google+.
Mike Elgan has written a post on Google+ that the vast majority of bloggers should abandon their standalone blogs and post exclusively on Google_ instead. His argument is centered around the idea that blog comments suck. Given that many people...
