Like all Americans, I was horrified by the killing of so many innocents in the recent Newtown Connecticut shootings. I’m very Libertarian in my views about most things. However, this tragedy has pushed me past the limit. Something must be done about the unfettered access to weapons. Predictably, there has been an almost immediate and […]

Here’s the deal. I actually like how podcasts were moved out from under the wing of the music player in IOS6. Listening to a podcast is an entirely different experience than listening to music.

In 2011 I made a major change in my website hosting business. Up to that point, we had owned and operated our own servers.

(This isn’t the first time that I’ve made the case that the WBNA will ultimately fail unless they make some fundimental changes.
