I was working with Google Analytics today for a couple of my web clients and I remembered that I had my own account with Google, so I logged in to check that out. (It’s been a good long while!) Now, I think traffic overall is down to GregsHead.net since I don’t post nearly as much…
Technology
GregsApples.com … is back? (Sort of.)
Hey folks! Just wanted to give you a quick heads up. I was reminded today that I used to be an Authorized Apple Business Agent, for which Apple paid me a commission on any sales I generated for them. That was neat. Then I was an Apple Business Store Affiliate, similar deal, just not working…
WWDC Kicks Off: No Jobs, But Plenty of Fun
As expected, Steve Jobs did not make an appearance at the latest Apple keynote. However, many product updates did take center stage! No time to detail it, but here are some highlights: New iPhone: 3G(s) (“s” stands for “speed”, says Apple) Same prices, but current iPhone (3G, 8GB model) will sell for $99! Tons of…
CraigsList or ebay? Pros and Cons
Jen & I both recently had a bit of success listing and selling stuff on CraigsList, and following that, a friend asked how I chose CraigsList over ebay. “Well,” began my reply, “I suppose there are a number of reasons to use either,” I explained. And so there are. I figured it might even be…
Scary Dream!
This morning, just before I woke up… I was still in a bit of a dream state. Everything seemed normal. I was talking with someone, and they wanted to show me something on their computer. It was a Mac, of course. (Just like in the movies, my dreams have a disproportionate amount of Macs to…
Twitter Craze
I mentioned Twitter here a few posts ago. I think I also mentioned that it’s not a technology I’ve found much of a use for. There is definitely a place for it. It’s a pretty good way for a business to handle things like press releases. By creating a Twitter account, and then advertising that…
Apple Updates Entire Desktop Line
Apple updated not one, not two, but all three of their desktop models today, announcing speed, storage, graphics, and other enhancements to the Mac mini, the iMac, and Mac Pro. As they typically do, prices remained the same (or went down) on all of the upgraded models. Perhaps most notably was the 24″ iMac now…
Definition of a Blog
I often find myself recommending to people that they could start a blog. Whether it is one of my web clients, or a One To One member at the Apple store, there are many reasons to have and use a blog. The funny thing is, when I say that, folks are often at least confused,…
Microblogging
Have you heard the term “microblogging” bantered about these days? Perhaps you’ve heard of the most popular microblogging platform, Twitter? It certainly has some legs these days. There are all sorts of options out there, Twitter and Tumblr are two popular ones I have tried. (I really don’t use Twitter, and I have stopped using…
Presidential Inauguration: LIVE
How crazy is it that I can stream this live event on my blog? If I am able, I’ll have a comment on the 44th president of the United States later today (or later this week). But for now, enjoy the cool technology! :-)
