Almost anyone can do video these days…

Friday, May 22, 2009 15:21 No Comments

… but what about video that gets results and doesn’t take a Hollywood production budget and crew to pull it off?
I’m really excited to have been asked to be part of the Learn About Web Denver conference taking place at the Curtis Hotel September 14th and 15th. The goal of LAW-D is to help small [...]

Because it would reduce paperwork and time if they could pay by credit card, I had a client recently indicate a desire to pay via PayPal and a willingness to pay the additional PayPal fees to have that convenience. Not sure of the PayPal balance required to offset that I entered “calculate PayPal fees” in [...]

A recent Neilsen study indicates, in my opinion, a very important and yet untapped question related to the console wars. Joystiq covers the findings which seem to indicate that Xbox 360 owners appear to be more likely than PS3 or Wii owners to spend time on their console. While console purchase numbers are interesting to [...]

Thanks Amazon for the Kindle iPhone App

Monday, March 9, 2009 16:21 No Comments

Okay, I admit it. I have a severe, over the top lust for the Amazon Kindle. As a new business startup things are tight so, like others whose tweet’s I’ve watched, I too have hovered over that Buy Now button on Amazon’s site several times. However unlike them, I’ve not pressed it. Last week, Amazon [...]

Great virus removal tips

Monday, February 23, 2009 10:26 No Comments

On Dec 31, 2008 I found myself plagued with a virus because I just visisted a site. Not because I downloaded something from it, but because I just visited the page. I had McAfee antivirus running and had never had an issue in over a decade of web stuff. Then, and I’m fairly certain it [...]

FAQ or FAQs?

Monday, September 15, 2008 13:04 No Comments

Recently, a client asked me to make a change to her site to make the FAQ link reach FAQs. This is a very interesting request as it prompted me to think about what FAQs actually meant. After all, TLA (three letter acronyms) are really short abbreviations for stuff we talk about regularly but don’t want [...]
