Exactly, and thank you. There are a lot of options between borrow 100% of a 4-year degree at the most expensive option available, and don't go to college at all. I think most people that want to go to college can find an option that works w

I really have little sympathy for somebody that attends an out of state or private school and racks up $100K in college debt getting a sociology degree. My son just finished up his freshman year as a history major. However, he is going to t

I quit Picasa when they dropped support for Linux. Granted it was running under wine, but it worked.

I've noticed that when I comment on a page and come back later, my comment appears at the top. Now I realize it probably only appears that way to me. That's good, because I was wondering why FB was choosing to highlight the comments that it

He also proclaimed RSS and Podcasts as world changing technologies back in the day. And he proclaimed Netflix dead in 2007. That's 3 huge misses right there. There are probably more, and he may have got a couple right along the way too.

//It’s harder to get a license. From 1996 to 2006// As the parent of two teenagers, it is my opinion that at least in VA, it is still way too easy to get a license. Although neither of mine had that desire to get a license as soon as possib

I moved my mail to Webfaction a couple of weeks ago, and I'm in the process of moving my web sites there. Just using Spam Assassin set to delete anything scored 5 or higher, and send to the spam folder anything between 1-4 has more than goo

If you are selling something complex, enterprise software, software development, etc. you can not go wrong with Spin Selling and its companion book, Major Account Selling.

If you didn't want to actually see the updates from a page you liked it was (is?) simple enough to mute it in your newsfeed. It's not different than emails from a website where you bought something. If the emails are occasional and even rel

I was pleasantly surprised that I only have about 40 likes, most of them small local businesses or projects friends are connected to somehow. Didn't feel the need to unlike anything. Cool idea though.

It can be a fundamentally shitty job. In 2000 when I was selling Sun servers and Oracle licenses to dot coms it was a fundamentally awesome job. My golf game improved a lot in those years :) There is no simple answer here. You can hire smar

The number of small businesses that have abandoned their web sites and are relying on Facebook as their web presence is frightening.

Neither of my kids have ever been to school (k-12). One is in college now, the other just turned 17 and is considering her college options, of which there appear to be plenty based on the amount of mail she is getting from colleges. Droppin

Good luck getting $10 in the settlement. I got a settlement check last year on a Google Adwords class action suit that I think I was automatically included in. I don't remember ever doing anything to join it. Anyway my check was for 60 cent

Diaspora? I don't remember if you could share a post of not. I tried to use it. A social network where you know exactly one person isn't so social.

Personally, knowing Facebook is actively mining my likes and check-ins is a disincentive to do more of it.

I have a Klout score of zero and I'm proud of it. :) Seriously, I opted out. I haven't seen a single redeeming thing from Klout. Turning social media into a game to be won or lost is the express route to removing all utility from social med

I think I'm glad I deleted almost all my photos from Facebook last week. All I left were a couple of dozen mobile photos, and I deleted all the albums from when I was using FB for photo sharing a few years ago.

I hate to say this, but Facebook already has all the data they need to do this. And now that you've mentioned it, it seems like a no-brainier for them to implement.

It's possible, but you have to opt out of the system and do it all yourself. Neither of my kids ever went to school - both killed it on the SAT and other standardized tests while spending far less time on "school" than their traditionally e

My son's Spanish book this semester is a special edition - Googling the ISBN brings up only the school bookstore. $175, but that does include the web access code for online stuff. What a bargain! Luckily we were able to score all the books
