Every now and then I have the privilege of meeting someone who’s taking a big leap, trying to change how people think about some old stodgy industry. They inspire me to do my work better and to do things that matter. Justin Schneider of Wolf & Shepherd Shoes is one of those people. Justin was a […]

Would You Like Some Bland With That?
I spent the week between Christmas and New Years in Tulsa, OK visiting family. On one of the days my wife and I decided to go get some coffee (or tea in my case). There were, of course, sixteen Starbucks within a five mile radius of where we were, but I wanted something different. We […]
Backupify – A Service To Back Up Your Gmail and Social Accounts
I have been a customer of Gmail since 2004. Since that time, nearly all of my email has been stored with Google. It’s something I fret about from time to time when I think about the cost of losing my mail to either an error at Google, a hack of my account, or human error. […]

Skype Feedback and Chat History
It seems as though in the last few weeks since I upgraded to the new version of Skype for Mac, every time I get off of a Skype call I get this annoying survey request. I have poked around on the web for ways to turn this off, but can’t seem to find any solution. […]
Review of Key Ring
I was on a trip recently and in the in-flight magazine they had an article about an application for mobile phones called Key Ring. The premise of the application is that you can either enter or scan all of those barcodes you use for shopping at various stores and store them on your phone. Then, […]
