Google has released their ‘07 Zeitgeist report. Basically an analysis of all their search results to give you a picture of what folks are doing on the intertubes. Always an interesting read.

This is just great. Chris Anderson the Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine and the author of The Long Tail has had it with PR flacks and he is fighting back. I’ll let him explain from a recent blog post of his.
I’ve had it. I get more than 300 emails a day and my […]

Not normally a fan of these types of lists. However, this is a quality list. Found at least 4-5 blogs I’ll most likely check out close to daily I’d never see before. They only issue I have is the large number of entries from Gawker and GigaOm’s networks. I just wish when lists like this […]

I’m a Sony Fan Boy on many levels and have been since the early 80’s. Outside of my speakers (Polk) all my AV equipment is Sony. Plus I recently went from a Mac to a Sony laptop that I couldn’t be happier with. And I love my PS2. I am not an intense gamer (why […]

There have been numerous blog posts about the Digg Effect (one of the best analysis is here). Although I’ve written close to 600 posts here, I had never been Dugg. I’ve thought about posting my own stories to Digg, but that seems pretty darn cheesy. I mean I get more then 100 visits a day […]

I have always felt that Hicksdesign is one of the best blogs on the Web. Both for the design and the content. Well a few weeks he updated his site and I love it. Just love it. If you don’t know Jon Hicks you should. He designed the logos for Mozilla

This is my first political post ever on this site. But I have to get this off my chest, cause it is something I have been thinking about for a long time.
Let me start by saying I love Apple. Along with Sony, VW, and Nikon it is one of my favorite brands. Apple is as […]

Jeffrey Zeldman’s venerable online design magazine A List Apart has relaunched with a new design, interface, servers, CMS, you name it. It is simply stunning. Jason Santa Maria was the designer and Eric Meyer did the coding. And as always the content is stellar. Of special interest for me was an article by Jim Coudal […]

I am a little late to the game here, but joshuaink.com is no more. I am not privy to why John Oxton has hung up his blogging boots, nor is it any of my business, but I’ve always found his web site to be stunning (from a visual and a content POV). This is sad, […]

The blog world seems to be all up in arms related to Apple’s announcement yesterday that they are moving to Intel as a provider of their chips. Who cares? I sure don’t
I’ve been a loyal customer of Apple since late 1986 and I’m a "Raving Fan." But I don’t care who makes their chips, […]
