Umm .. OK, just saw this site, de.lirio.us.
It’s another social bookmarking site, similar to, wait for it, del.icio.us, which has been around for how long now? A long time (in internet time, anyways).
Rip off. Massive rip off.

So … Tom Peters isn’t blogging anymore?
Hugh over at Gaping Void points out that Tom, after recommending that people “blog as if their life depends on it,” isn’t blogging anymore.
Well, what a shock. Guess what: the web itself, and blogs in particular, are disruptive mediums. In other words, they’re tools that underdogs can use to […]

I love to visit delicious periodically to see what the blogosphere has dredged up.
Tonight I visited, saw a post on “well-designed” blogs, and visited the site. It’s always interesting to see lists of what others think are great blogs, from whatever perspective.
OK. Well, after reading the intro I checked out the list.
The first blog listed […]

A thought occurred to me today:

Blogs are to websites as the PC was to the mainframe.

OK, sure, fine, there’s a ton more to it, and lots more to be said.
But the beauty of a blog is, I don’t have to say it if I don’t want to. And guess what - I don’t!

If you use Firefox, you know that some sites have a little RSS icon at the bottom. Click it, and you can choose to save their RSS feed as a ‘live bookmark.’

It’s a cool feature, and just about the only reason that I pop open Firefox nowadays (alas, I have defected back to Safari).
But I […]

Corporate world - hello. This is me. I’m blogging you.
The web is jumping or has jumped on the idea of corporate blogs. So it’s just natural, I guess, that I did too.
I’m currently writing for The Linguist, and though it’s a bit early to unveil the blog, I can’t resist. So here it is.
Yummy!

As recently mentioned, I’m doing some work for TheLinguist, the best (OK, I’m biased) place to learn English as a second language on the internet.
I watch The Apprentice and really enjoy it. Although of course Trump does get annoying from time to time … especially when at the beginning of this season every time he […]

Steve says it’s the year of HD. Bill says it’s the year of HD. Cringely says it’s the year of iFlicks … the movie version of iTunes.

That got me thinking: if I’m a studio, and I’m approaching the capability of selling movies by download through an iTunes-like interface, what am I looking for?
Well, if I’m […]

I produce a lot of what the trendy now call screencasts: a movie of something happening on your screen, usually used to demo software or explain a process. The app I use is Snapz Pro, and it’s great software.
But it outputs movies in .mov format. I’ve posted a lot of those online over the past […]

I’ve recently met and starting working with a rather amazing individual.
Typically, most people are pretty impressed to find out that someone is bilingual. Trilingual, three languages, is amazing. Four starts to approach the realm of the unbelievable, or the savant.
But Steve Kaufman, a former Canadian diplomat, speaks and reads in 9, yes, 9, that is […]
