The Problem with Streaming
Last night, on a whim, I decided I was going to log into my Netflix account and bum around watching movies. This turned into a functional nightmare. I spent an hour trying to find a film that I would like to see, and ended up being stymied time and time again by the lack of [...]
The Face of Age In the Technology Community
Before I begin writing- let’s just say I’m in the process of organizing peices of my life in a POSITIVE way. It is giving me a bit of writer’s block. I hope the writer’s block will pass soon as life comes to ahead for certain outside issues. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, I was recently [...]

This hurts Facebook the most, as it is the largest user of said data. (Primarily from your email) Some sigifigant points to be made here: 1) Despite [...]
Sometimes, get a friend to review a product
So, the last big player of last months (Gasp!) New York Tech meetup just came back from San Diego, Comixology. Interestingly, so did my friend. He’s in the middle of selling off all of his old school stock of his (now closed *sob*) comic book store at Comic-Con San Diego! (hence the San Diego Connection) [...]

Even the worst dating website probably caused a couple or two, who are out there, happy. For them, it was perfect, a match made [...]
