In an email exchange this morning with my friend Juan, who recently celebrated turning 60, he commented that he had been somewhat concerned about me because he noticed that I hadn’t updated my blog in “many days.” He is right of course in a manner of speaking , but in another way he is overlooking [...]

Breaking News: All Online Data Lost After Internet Crash Apparently some of my friends are having trouble viewing this video here on my site. Why I can’t imagine, since it plays perfectly well for me here in Firefox. If you’d like to try to view it in its native location go here: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/breaking_news_all_online_data
Flock revisited
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
This morning I discovered through my RSS feeds that version 0.9 of Flock was available for download, so I downloaded and installed it. I am writing this post using its blog editor. My initial impressions of the user interface are generally positive as it is quite different than it was when I last used it. [...]

Thanks to my buddy Juan Gutierrez for pointing out this video to me.
Vocabulary Quiz
Monday, July 2, 2007
Paul sent me an article this afternoon from The New Republic titled, “From Whittaker Chambers to George W. Bush. The End of the Journey” by Sam Tanenhaus. It was long and interesting and educational. As I read it though, I was reminded why I like reading things online, about which I’ve written before here. Normally if [...]
IPass

With all the hoopla about the new Apple iPhone’s arrival mere moments from now and with people like Robert Scoble standing on line in Palo Alto (“because that’s where all the geeks will be“), I thought this cartoon from bLaugh expressed my feelings about the frenzy pretty accurately. I just wish it said iPhooey rather [...]
During my absence
Friday, June 22, 2007
If any of you are still checking this weblog, you’ll have noticed that I haven’t posted anything new here in a couple of weeks. I haven’t been incarcerated, or hospitalized, and I am not in a coma, I’m pleased to report, but I just haven’t felt up to posting anything, and the longer I have [...]
Hooked
Sunday, June 3, 2007
The incredible Mr. Moor, who began blogging recently but quite reluctantly I must admit, has discovered the joy of blogging. I helped him install Windows Live Writer and for the first several entries at his blog I logged in to his system remotely and took him by the hand to guide him as he made those [...]
The Incredible Mr. Moor, now a blogger
Friday, June 1, 2007
If you’ve been a reader of this blog for any time at all, you’ll have seen me mention my friend Paul Moor, whom I have known now since the early 1990s, almost 15 years. We met, originally, on a Writers conference, back before the World Wide Web even existed, during a time when we used Bulletin [...]
Virtual Vacations
Saturday, May 26, 2007
I virtually never take a vacation, last year’s cruise to Alaska with Carole being a spectacularly notable exception, but I do take virtual vacations. For instance, I am participating in two vacations, vicariously and virtually this Memorial Day weekend, with my son Mike and his extended family at Ft. Walton Beach, FL, and with Andy [...]
