technology: Get Posterous-ized... - 11/25/09 09:09 PM
Let's get the first part out of the way... It is pronounced pa-stir-us... like in preposterous... which would be "life before Posterous."
Posterous is a blogging site... and if you are playing in social media, you really need to get onto it if you aren't already. In fact, I will be … (6 comments)

technology: What about WordPress MU? - 11/24/09 10:49 PM
I was wandering around the control panel for my webhost (I use BlueHost - affiliate link) and noticed that I had 12 blogs I was administering. Don't panic, that includes my wife's websites for her company, as well as a family blog and the blog for my son's Flat Stanley.

technology: 'Cuz Brad and Bobby SAID SO... - 11/20/09 07:41 PM
A while back, Brad and/or Bobby Carroll made a VERY valid point about online identity... specifically, having a cohesive design theme throughout your sites.

I have found the weakness in Thunderbird and Lightning (Thunderbird's calendar component). It is something that Outlook does exceedingly well...
A Calendar with recurring tasks...

technology: Thunderbird... Like Outlook... but more support. - 11/12/09 03:36 PM
For some it is rebellion against Microsoft. For others it is extensibility. And yet others make the choice because they are cheap.
What could I possibly be talking about...
Probably the most popular Mail Application on computers is Microsoft's Outlook. It is pretty flexible and since so many people use it, … (11 comments)

If you haven't been watching Twitter or FaceBook (specifically me on Twitter or FaceBook), I had a hard drive crash on Friday. It isn't good... I used to back up pretty regularly, but had kind of drifted away from it lately. It isn't good.

My answer would be almost never... and constantly.
