Screen Shot Tool

30 May 2008

FireShot is my new favorite screen shot tool for sharing “What I am looking at on the web” in a very LOW TECH fashion…

I use this tool for showing people cool websites I have found, for blogging images right here on this website, and for sending my customers ‘paper clippings’ of online news articles that […]

Best Way to download YouTube Videos and replay offline

16 May 2008

I have had the recent need to make online videos available offline, and have had friends and family ask for the same thing…. So its worth a simple post:
There are a myriad of choices out there to download and replay, but which are the best? Well I don’t know of the best- but I do […]

Zoho Office Suite

11 May 2008

I don’t often find cool new tools to write about, and this year, the plethora of Web 2.0 platforms (thousands of which you can see at www.simplespark.com) all just seem to be new ways of barely squeaking out $40 in advertising revenue for the providers.
This year, however, I finally do see a tool that I […]

Web 2.0 - its hard to keep up with it.

22 August 2007

As I share interesting web applications with my friends and colleagues, and as I have in this post, I continually am flabergasted by the sheer volume of initiatives by web companies. As a tool to help sort through the web applications, a site called SimpleSpark.com is a cataloger of all web 2.0 applications. […]

Social Networking for Adults - Linked In

22 July 2007

Personally, Social Networking has not meant much to me on a computer. Sure I occasionally post to this blog, and make sure my name is relevant on Google Searches, but playing the “MySpace” deal has never held any interest.

HOWEVER, I recently came across, or was invited into a friend’s social circle - at LinkedIn. […]

Use netvibes to (re)mix the web

21 May 2007

 
Earlier this year my personal information that I had attached to my Yahoo! account was deleted along with my account - this being email, contacts, stored notes, favorites, etc… I won’t get into the details, but I believe it to be a tragic mistake revolving around Yahoo Answers and trying to hack out a bluetooth […]

Sometimes you just need a picture for your webpage, your advertisement, or your power point presentation. Be legal about it and use a site like stock.xchng.

This network of free photographers (which could be you!) uploades high high resolution photos to this site for anyone to download.
Need a wallpaper for your desktop?

My Maps at Google Maps

13 May 2007

Previously I wrote about Zeemaps, a mashup of Google Maps that allowed users to store all sorts of information on its site to map out many destinations. I still use it for bulk uploads.
However for a simple map, you can’t beat Google’s new feature, My Maps.
Check out my map there: Google Maps - MY MAPS

Joomla!

11 May 2007

This website uses WordPress - an open source engine for blogs. It works well for the types of timely content that I produce here.

Recently I came across Joomla! another open source initiative that is not just a blog holder, but more a content management system, or CMS. Allowing multiple users, this tool provides easy WYSIWYG […]
