  Twitter, Jaiku, & Pownce

  The days of microblogging are upon us. Say what you want in 140 characters or less, but which service should you use? Twitter? Jaiku? Pownce? Why not all three? I’ve used (am using) each of these microblogging platforms and have found that each has its own unique set of qualities. Here’s the lowdown…
  The original…or [...]

  Court case turned upside down because of a blog

  05.31.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  The Boston Globe ran a story today about a Pediatrician who was betrayed by his very own blog while defending himself in a malpractice suit involving the death of one of his patients.
  His name is Robert P. Lindeman. Apparently, the case was leaning in his favor, at least until the opposing counsel sprung the following [...]

  I’ve reached the end

  I was surfing around last night and I came across this site.
  Finally!
  I guess I’m done. It’s been nice knowing all of you. I’m going outside now.

  Twitter-mania

  04.04.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  While we’re on the subject of Internet phenomena, be sure to check out twitter.com. I’ve been twittering (tweeting?) for a little over two weeks now, but I was a little reluctant at first.
  Twitter is sort of a cross between a blog and an away message. Unlike a blog, you can only post 140 characters [...]

  Success! Sort of…

  I am now officially cross posting from skyecade.net to my Vox account. Rejoice! Gone are the days of my empty Vox blog.
  I also wanted to cross post to a Livejournal blog, mostly because I really like the LJ community. Alas, the Livejournal Crossposter plug-in doesn’t work for me. I believe it has to [...]

  My Myspace account

  10.29.06 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Okay, I sucked it up and made a myspace account this week. Check it out. I’m not gonna lie to ya, I felt really dirty doing it. Myspace could be the ugliest, cheesiest website on the net today, and yet, about an hour into creating my special little place, I actually started to have [...]

  Escape from the World of Warcrack

  10.19.06 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  I’m one of the lucky ones. You see, I have a severe case of gaming A.D.D. Others, however, are not so lucky. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
  I played World of Warcraft for over a year. Night after night I would play with my friends, exploring the vast lands of Azeroth with thousands of [...]

  Amazon’s Unbox service launched

  With Amazon’s Unbox service, you can purchase (or rent) movies and TV shows online and have them downloaded directly to your computer. Services like this will be the final blow to companies like Netflix and Blockbuster, not to mention the last surviving video store chains hanging on by a thread. These types of companies will [...]

  In search of the ultimate web host

  08.01.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I’m about to launch my latest and greatest project and I need to find a reliable web hosting company that will cater to my every need. I use GoDaddy for :skyecade online and I am quite happy using them, for the most part. There are, however, some features that GoDaddy just doesn’t offer.
  Here is a [...]

  Domain name junkie

  07.28.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I bought a new domain name tonight.
  robertsinclaire.com
  I figured I should scoop this up before some other Robert Sinclaire snatched it. Luckily, the spelling of my name is pretty rare. Take notice of the e at the end of Sinclaire. That little baby sets us apart from the rest.
  Sinclair, on the other hand, is a [...]
