This is a “for the record” kind of post. Perhaps you’ll find it as appalling interesting as I have while following all of the connected trails in my research. A good while back now, in what was the early childhood of the “internets“, I began what is my current career of website hosting management and…

Working
Time to write has been lessened a bit these days as work demands have increased for a variety of reasons. Definitely something to be thankful for when stories of unemployment rates frequent the pages of news sources. And I am grateful. I’m grateful that I have this job that allows me to work from home….
Who Me? A VCR Repairman?
Perhaps one of the strangest things I’ve done of late is a bit of repair man work on my office VCR! Who knew I could fix those? :) One of the services I offer as part of my web/graphic design business* is analog-to-digital conversion. So, you bring me your old audio cassette tapes and I’ll…
Apple Posts HTML5 Showcase
I just saw a link to a new section of Apple’s website, showcasing the power of HTML5, the next coding language for the web. It of course was named in Steve Job’s open letter to Adobe as one of the main reasons Apple is not using Adobe’s Flash on their portable devices. (Almost) All of…
(Over) Ambitious Reading List
I seem to read books in spurts. I’ll go a long time without making time to read anything more than email and the daily news. But then, I’ll hear of or see a book or two… and get inspired to make the time to read them. Now is such a time! Between books I want…

Today as I was going about my business, and after some positive interaction with my main…
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…
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,…
Font Conference
A friend who is also a web designer passed this along to me today. I thought it was pretty funny. If you do design work, you might as well. :-) Enjoy…
Update from Greg’s Head
I must say this poor blog has been quite neglected for the past couple weeks. It seems that my writing certainly goes in cycles. Sometimes I have lots to say and just can’t help myself, so this blog is full of things to read. Sometimes I am so full of things to do that even…
