Duncan McAlynn listed as part of the Greatest Films ever

Funny stuff. Duncan has his latest Holiday Update posted to a Greatest Films site. Really, this is an annoying yet growing service that grabs blog posts and reposts them based on keywords in the content. Apparently, this site liked that Duncan talked about a Green Card in his post. Hmmm…now, that...

My Dad is hooked on Google Earth

A couple days ago I told my Dad about Google Earth . He must have had dreams about it, because the next day I was “required” to take him to the site and show him how it works. I tip-toed around the subject, because we all know how our parents think after we tell them about something cool...

Finding something interesting about Google AdSense...

…the more I post about William Shatner and Bruce Campbell — the more money starts filling up in my Google AdSense account. Does this mean something? Is information for technology on the Internet the last place folks check? Is the Internet just a frivolous thing? Oh, btw…because I...

Time Warner, Digital Phone, and unlisted numbers

Time Warner recently sold us down the river. We switched to digital phone service over a year ago and we've consistently received "Spam" phone calls -- you know, annoying phone calls from places like Publisher's Clearing House, etc. -- even after putting our home number on the "Do...
