Every couple of years I decide to answer some questions that I often receive that do not really require a full column to answer. They are some good questions but they just have short answers. So today we will look at a couple of them. The first question, "Do you recommend a desktop or notebook…
I get the, “What is the easiest way for me to create a Blog Site?” question quite often. If you are reading this column I imagine you know what a web site is. However, just in case I want to define a “blog”. A blog is a combination of the words weB and LOG. Basically,…
Anyone with a medical condition should have some form of medical ID on them. In the event you are incapacitated you want the rescue squad to know you are a Type 1 diabetic (like me), epileptic, asthmatic and or any of the other "…tics" out there. It can only help them and you! Last year…
While listening to one of my favorite podcasts this week I heard about an attention-grabbing and useful beta site. First, the podcast is, "Windows Weekly with Paul Thurrott".

Do you have a million important bookmarks in your favorite browser? How about a hundred or more you have collected over the past few months/years that you “need” to read when you get the time? If you are like me you do and you never have found that extra hour to read them. Those vital…
If you are a Gmail user you will have noticed something new in the last couple of weeks. If you did not notice it you must have popup ads blocked on your browser. Google was pretty persistent in letting you know about it. I am not sure of the exact name of the feature since…
I do not like to write columns that relate to only a small segment of my readers but sometimes it is necessary. Because of email requests these things pop up from time to time. I have received several requests about this over the last couple of months. So today I will explain an online application…
