It is hard to believe sitting here today, but in 2-3 years’ time paper books simply won’t exist. I love paper books. Specifically, I love paperbacks. As they say about Toblerone, never eat a sweet that hurts you – so I am not so fond of hardbacks as being uncomfortable and often [...] January 16, 2010

Amongst the obvious reasons that I have stayed with Macintosh over the years, (stability, performance, etc.), there is actually one that is not that easy to see, at least, unless you have a need for it. That’s [...] December 13, 2009

Want a link to a throw-away domain? by David Leonhardt
A while back, I wrote about why to ignore three-way link requests. Many of the reasons I listed had to do with the quality of the site linking back to you. But what if it’s a PR3 home page. Sounds like a juicy link to score, doesn’t [...] June 5, 2009

Leave a comment The question is will a fair and vigorous press spring up after the newspapers are gone? Will the next Woodward and Bernstein (Washington Post Reporters who uncovered Watergate) be culled from the ranks of bloggers writing about events from other warmed over net news items? Or will that go the way of pulp and belong [...] May 13, 2009

One comment When new authors write non-fiction, they will often base their subject matter on personal experiences. One mistake commonly made, is the over use of the word “I” in the beginning of sentences. “I know this because I’ve been there, done that.” Or, “I did it this, or that way.” Over [...] May 8, 2009

Leave a comment Major corporations and organizations mount immense IT efforts involving large mainframes and huge networks of servers, communications systems and ‘nodes’ that distribute computing power globally. The software that makes these systems work efficiently and securely is hideously complex. But I understate. My last employer, before I turned to freelance writing, was a major supplier of systems [...] April 22, 2009
In a few weeks I go to visit my mother in a house that hasn’t quite made it to this century. There has always been a phone but its merely a land line. The cell phone my parents had set idle for a year. They charged it once and forgot to take it with them [...] April 21, 2009

2 comments The Internet’s enormity makes it a subject too large for a dozen books, or a hundred. It’s still only a communications channel, regardless of the magical properties ascribed incorrectly to this digital phenomenon. In terms of conveying information, it’s no better and no worse than any other medium—print, video, phone, etc.—except insofar as it might [...] April 6, 2009

Leave a comment Let’s pretend? These days simulators can reproduce almost anything, synthetically. The results can be useful for training, for entertainment and for many other purposes. Used in aviation, simulators help pilots become proficient at much lower cost than flying, and with much less risk. Simulators have been created to help operators understand the correct way to operate [...] March 24, 2009
The founding of Intel Corporation
One of the biggest investments by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Arthur Rock, in 1968, was in Intel Corporation. You think his risk was low? Think again. Intel has become a global technology juggernaut but it’s only obvious with 20/20 hindsight. Intel was once a crawling baby, its survival in doubt from [...] March 12, 2009

Leave a comment One of the most commonly asked questions of new authors is “Should I copyright my work?” Authors are concerned their work might be stolen by some smuck (sorry, couldn’t think of a better descriptive word) who reprints their work and claims authorship for it. Well, the truth is, it could be. But whether filing a legal copyright will make a difference; that’s [...] February 18, 2009

2 comments If we are to believe the slavering electronic and print media, who are fawning over it wherever one turns, we are supposed to bow down and adore the Internet’s latest thrill, the new ‘social medium’ dubbed Twitter. Its goal: make a profound (?) statement in a 140-letter public post about what one is ‘doing.’ When [...] |
