Turner's Perspective

Apple is incorporating "Multi-Touch" into the upcoming iPhone, but Microsoft has just taken it to a new level with Microsoft Surface.If you've know me at all, you know I hate Microsoft. Those are strong words, I know. But I do. Can't help myself. I've tried to stop. It's almost irrational at this...

Google launched a new map feature today for San Francisco, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver and New York. It's called Street View. And it rocks pretty darn hard. It's a souped up version of the now defunct A9 project that was called Blockview. It's up and live as of this afternoon. The announcement was m...

I felt a bit like EF Hutton this morning. When I found ARDELL DellaLoggia's post titled Jeff Turner Speaks - Project Blogger, I was caught a bit off guard, but after reading my comment again, not surprised.

I must get asked this questions 5 times each week - "What the heck is an RSS Feed?"If you've been on AR for very long, you know that lots of folks here have done a good job of trying to explain it in simple terms.

"Hey, I know you're not a big Dodge Fan, but you're going to a game next Wednesday. Clear it with Rock...

Given her level of enthusiasm and the creative w...

I see a lot of the photos that roll through our system. The vast, vast majority are shot at eye level. It's certainly understandable. It's natural. But it's also unfortunate. There's a lot of ways to shoot any room and if you're shooting your own photos, exploring more of those ways is wise. Even...

I've had this video saved as a draft post since May 2.It was sent to me by Joe Fenton, saying I might want to put it up on my JustDugUp.com site, the one I use when I don't have time for a real post. My response - this deserved a post. I never got to it and, in my opinion, it's old news.  The vid...

But it wouldn't have happened without my writing here on ActiveRain.That's a fact. While the official announcement and invitation copy can be found on the RealEstateShows.com Blog, Jeff Turner To Speak At Real Estate Connect, the real story is here. There is no question in my mind... If I had not...
