Comcast is Watching You. Good or Bad?


Comcast is Watching You. Good or Bad?

The New York Times reports of a Blogger who gets an email after complaining about a service that is not there.

This begs the question: [...]

Ramblings - 7-12-08


I feel like I just wrote one of these….
The week went fast, and we got a lot done. It was awesome to see the numbers start to increase on the site. I cannot believe how many countries are reading the pages.
I’ve been working on another web page for a client and I have to say, [...]

Welcome to the Mess we call Social Networking


I am reminded of the Billy Joel tune “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. In the song he chronicles history in about 4 minutes 40 seconds. The chorus says “We didn’t start the fire, It was always burning since the world’s been turning.
Well, we DID start the Internet, and we DID start Web 2.0 and Social [...]

Twitter needs to fix, or Close Shop (sorta).


Twitter needs to fix, or Close Shop (sorta).

Other people have complained about their bills and Comcast comes back with a “Can I Help”? Even others find themselves with internet connection issues for trying to use the service.
