  Testing Journler’s blogging abilities — If you see this, it worked. Yay!
  For the last few days I’ve been messing around with a great program for the Mac called Journler. It’s like a journal on steroids. It has all the basic features you would expect from journaling software, but then takes it to a whole other [...]

  Twitter-mania

  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 [...]

  I have to say, Tracksy.com is a pretty slick website. I heard about it on an episode of commandN and they had had nothing but good things to say about it. At first glance, it seems to be very similar to Google Analytics in that they both offer free web statistics for you website (or [...]

  I just installed a Wordpress widget for my Macbook and I decided to give it a spin. If it works like it’s suppose to, I will be able to post messages a lot faster than going through the normal interface.

  I was writing an email a few minutes ago when I noticed Google has a new feature called Google Spreadsheets.
  I had a chance to mess around with it for a couple of minutes. It seems very smooth, considering it’s a web app. I’ve used other online spreadsheets that are clunky by comparison. It also seems [...]

There will be multiple versions of this operating system released, which means multiple minimum requirements. Below are requirements for the basic and premium versions of Vista.

  Google Page Creator

  Ahh Google. I forgot how much I love thee. If you haven’t heard, Google’s stock has been a little shaky lately for reasons my unsophisticated mind can’t comprehend, but I would have to imagine that their investors will be quite pleased with this beauty they just released.
  It’s called the Google Page Creator and it is [...]
