I recently got the dreaded announcement that my place of employment is planning to shut down early 2010. After about a week of shock and disappointment, I started looking at the  things I need to do to prepare.

When I first heard this I thought it was a joke. The Sci Fi channel is changing its name to…. SyFy. pronounced the same way but spelled different. There is even going to be a new logo associated with the name change (will happen in July).

What things would you like to see happen or change in 2009? I’m talking about things online, software and tech related. Ive been thinking about a few things, some that fall more under gadgets and electronics. But here, where I talk mostly about software, and the web, I have a few new year wishes that [...]

Christmas was yesterday. As you all know, during the holidays you see people that you may not see on a regular basis. Most of my friends and family members know my interest in computers and other tech/gadget products so I usually get questions. “Whats the best DVD ripper software?”, ” I need a good audio [...]

Every once in a while I talk about what I’m listening to as far as podcast, things have changed a little bit as of late. There are a few podcast that I have added to my list of favorites. sadly there are a few that I barely listen to anymore.
