The Kin Is Out – But What Did It Leave Behind?
The Kin may have sold out in a humiliating, short-lived fashion (or rather, for worse, returned to sender), but that begs the question – what did it leave in its hurried footsteps to the nearest bonfire? Despite somewhat poor reviews, a data plan that strangled the would be sexy-slightly-smarter-dumbphone, the Kin did leave two great ideas behind, and most […]
Venting About Blogger
I’m going to vent right now about Google’s Blogger. My technical frustrations, which could almost go here, though I suspect I would need to include something a bit funnier for a wider audience. I just spent the past 20 minutes trying to figure out how to remove highlighting. I finally managed to get rid of […]

Check it out! I can text my impressions too. But hopefully this won’t be necessary once I get either a Windows Phone 7 or Android 3.

Check it out at the source. Thank goodness for competition – without Bing, Google wouldn’t be working on improving its […]
Firefox Beta 4.0 Beta 2 Preview
The revolution (or rather, evolution) of the browser has been increasing in pace over the past few years. With Google Chrome having reached version 5.0 and now ramping up its development speed to 6 week release intervals (along with a very sneaky one full number bump at every release), IE9 in the works, and the […]
The Big Picture On Vaccines
Everyday on the news, there is talk of new diseases, infections, and all sorts of frightening things that have the potential to make us sick. But have you ever wondered how it is that we get sick exactly? You might hear talk of our “immune system”, but have you ever wondered how it really works? […]
The Teeter And Totter Of Your Immune System
Your body is waging a constant war with the world around it. Microbes are constantly breaching your defenses and starting up battles against your immune system.
