Twitter isn’t new. However I am new to Twitter, having only signed up since my return to Knoxville from Las Vegas, NM, in May. The video that follows gives a good overview of what it is and an explanation of how to begin using it.

I spent 55 minutes of my early Saturday morning watching this video, laughing and sometimes being moved to tears, but overall feeling it was one of the best hours I’ve spent in a long time.

This episode of Robert Scoble’s Fastcompany explains in more detail what Evernote is and what it is capable of doing. It runs about 28 minutes and some of the best stuff is in the second half. If you can spare the time to watch this discussion, thinking of your own situation as I [...]

Jerry Pounds has tagged me to participate in the meme that he wrote about yesterday that he called “A Favorites List.“ I received a phone call from him, in which he urged me to answer the same set of questions about myself that he answered, and I agreed. I don’t go looking for these meme-type [...]
