I happened to jump by Scoble’s blog, saw a feedmap of bloggers in his area, clicked on one of them, and found this unfortunate article.
Here’s a clue: if you’re unhappy at work and looking for a new job, don’t post about how you’re “letting things slide” at your current job. Even if you’re being laid […]

The improbably named Ole Eichhorn has written a great piece detailing the frustration of Windows developers and pro users.
It’s titled, interestingly enough, Shorthorn, and while some wags might suggest that this is the new name for Longhorn, given that WinFS, .Net, and a host of other promised features are apparently not making it into the […]

Blogs are wonderful animals, fresh and new, clean and sparkling, hi-tech but with a delightful aura of amateurism clinging to them. Right?
Hah!
Just as for years business books by the bigs of the corporate world have been written, co-written, and ghost-written by professional writers hired by the big names underwriting the biz bios, blogs are being […]

It’s been almost a week since I’ve gotten Tiger. Overall, it’s been great.
I thought Spotlight was useless … until I realized today that I’ve used it 5-6 times in the past few days, probably saving myself 35-45 minutes of search time. Dashboard is pretty eye-candy-ish, but I guess I’ll find a few useful things there. […]

I just upgraded to Tiger (yay, yawn) and, of course, Safari RSS.
In my first few hours of browsing with the new system I’ve received probably 5 or 6 instances of this happy message: Safari can’t open the page.

In almost all cases, I was working on Google’s AdWords site, and if any sites in the world […]

I’m looking for a music service to partner with on a project, and am working with Apple’s iTunes. Hopefully it will go through, but the project is a bit of a square peg in their round hole.
In case it doesn’t, I’ll have to look for other options. Yahoo! Music is new, and they’ll probably be […]

I am happy, delighted, and otherwise tickled some certain shade of salmon to note that today I received a promotion.
My current role with Premier (US | CAN) has been Technology Solutions Manager, and I’ve been leading a team of web developers.
I can’t reveal my new role here until it’s officially announced, but it’s cool, it’s […]

OK, so everything cool must be mispelled these days … like Flickr, and now Talkr.
The idea is super-cool: every text blog can now be a podcast.
The reality sucks hard. I checked it out - saw the link on del.icio.us, and they have a few blogs they do for free (yes, it’s a pay service - […]

I hate to be an ass, but what kind of losers blog on Microsoft Office nonstop?
From the About section of the site:

Hello, our names are Charles Maxson and Chris Kunicki and we personally want to welcome you to OfficeZealot.com. We have been avid fans of Microsoft Office for many years now. We have been promoting […]

I just posted a piece over at The Linguist team’s blog that I rather like. It’s the introduction of our blog to the team, and part of the communication is: what the heck is a blog?
Especially this chunk:

A blog - short for web log - is a simple, easily updated website. It’s not corporate; […]
