Written on January 19, 2012 at 10:01 pm, by wunderbar
As I sit here writing this, I’m only a few hours from my 25th birthday. That really blows my mind. Not because I’m 25, but because I don’t know where the last year went. 2011 was a year that I won’t soon forget, and not just for good things. It has been a wild 12 Read more...
The Twitter redesign – it’s about the people
Written on December 12, 2011 at 7:30 pm, by wunderbar
Yes, the Twitter redesign is different. No, there are parts of it I don’t like either. But yes, it is better for Twitter. Too much is being made of how it’s changing too much and it’s not the same way it was 5 years ago. People say the same thing about Facebook, and last time Read more...

My smartphone is my lifeline. It is the only thing that I own that is literally almost always less than 10 feet away from me.

For obvious reasons, it was impossible to read anything, look at anything, or go anywhere on September 11, 2011 and not see some kind of memorial or tribute to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

I don’t even know where to begin. If there has been a worse year for the hockey world, I don’t want anyone to tell me about it; because after what has just happened I can’t even imagine it. Tweet

There has been a lot of confusion over Usage Based Billing over the past few weeks. There has been much debate on both sides of this issue. Unfortunately, much of this debate is being had by people who do not understand the technology behind the concept. I do not claim to be an expert, but Read more...
