Think of all the technology we used to have in our cars, like phonographs, 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs. Soon we will say goodbye to the CD player. Is the radio tuner far behind?

This is no joke … I attended a webinar on webinars, where the presenter took 15 minutes to explain that a webinar is a seminar on the web (he obviously worked in the Department of Redundancy Department). I am sure you have attended at least one webinar; I have attended and served up hundreds. Just…

Come On Feel The Noise… How many emails do you get per day, per week, per year? My guess is too many. I get 100 per day and that’s down from 250 per day. I worked really hard to remove myself from email lists that I never subscribed to and others that have become irrelevant as of today! Email is…

Don’t Wait Till You Go All Nancy Kerrigan “Why, Why, WHY? Have you ever been hacked? I have, and it cost me over $10,000 to recover from it. I was running a web server seven years ago (if you listened to the podcast, I said 10, but it feels like 20), and I gave a free website to…
