Infix PDF Editor

I had a potential client that needed to update some marketing documents but they lost the originals that they used to create some PDF files. While thinking about this, I remember that I have some search/replace type programs that are designed to brand PDF files. They wouldn’t do the required job, but made me think [...]

Skype Hidden Emoticons

Skype has a bunch of “hidden” emoticons.  I will try to list as many as possible, and if you know of any that are not on this list, please let me know.  These are from the Windows 5.5+ and Android versions of Skype and some might or might not work on other versions.  For those [...]

SPAM® versus spam

While SPAM® is a canned meat product by Hormel, spam is Unsolicted Commerical Email. Yes, there is a difference.  The trademarked meat product is all uppercase, while the UCE is all lower case. For more about this, read SPAM® Brand and the Internet. Now that I got that out of the way…. I just received my first [...]

Remember The Milk

Been busy with all sorts of things and since I haven’t completely set up this site yet, I don’t have the things in place to constantly post here. I use Remember The Milk (aka RTMilk or RTM) to keep track of the things I need to do and it really helps.  RTM allows you to [...]

I have been using Spotify for a few days at the FREE level. I have been a Grooveshark subscriber for over  a year. There is a somewhat incomplete ‘infographic‘ at Mashable that gives a decent overview of these two services as well as some other currently offerings (although some information is a bit mis-leading, as [...]

Nuclear Diner

As I am in the grocery store way too often picking up things to eat, I do wander down the frozen food aisle. Some of the things I pick up are pretty good and others are not so hot. But when I was nuking (aka microwaving) my breakfast biscuit the other day I had an [...]

Amazon Borders

Today, as I write this post, is the first day of the Borders going out of business sale. I have ideas that pop into my head.. and well, this is one of them. IDEA: Amazon buys Borders.. all of it.  Then replaces top management with those people from Amazon’s management to run the place and [...]

Clean Canvas

Restarting my site with a clean “canvas.” A site where I can house my content, such as blog posts, podcasts, videos and more. I came to the conclusion recently (after reading Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Crush It”) that I have lots of ideas that are never going to get off the ground. That I am looking at literally [...]
