This morning I read this article, citing that geeks and geekiness may be the reason there are less women than men in Computer Science. Here is my open response to the author. I recently read your article on MSNBC about how geeks may be the reason girls don’t get into computer science, citing among other things a flawed study placing…
I’m not a Hot Stove blogger by any stretch, but today’s baseball news is too much to pass up! Possibly the biggest news of the day is the Blue Jays deal Doc Halladay to the Phillies while the Phillies send Cliff Lee to Seattle in a 3-team trade. This is expected to be finalized in the next couple of days….
Those of you who know me might be surprised that I got a Droid less than one year after I got the Blackberry Storm. Those of you who really know me aren’t surprised one bit. As soon as I saw an Android phone come to Verizon, I was interested. I’m highly dependent on Google (Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, etc. etc.), I…
When I started playing video games again in September, it was after almost a year of not playing (I’m back on wagon?). In my defense, there was a lot of great video game going-ons this season. Between the tried and true Xbox 360 and their online environment, and the newly priced Ps3, there is a wealth of choices for the…

That means if I land a $1,000 project, you get a $100. New Site Launch- Wallkill Body Shop: I’ve launched a new website this week. Wallkill Body Shop needed a new website…
Wow! It’s been a while and I apologize. I’ve been keeping busy with Cognition Media (which is finally getting off the ground), but am back on track here. Today starts the first in a series of posts I’ll be writing to help with tech oriented gifts for the 2009 holiday season. Up first is a service I’ve been using for…
As a freelancer, I don’t have an office, or employees, or all the extra stuff that one might have as a business. I work from home, with my laptop, my cell phone, and if I need to offload some work, I have a group of subcontractors I can call. This of course makes it harder to separate personal and professional…

Since the last time they won in 2000 I’ve: graduated high school, started web design, started programming, started driving, and much much more. This is the Yankees 4th trip to the Fall…

About a month ago, I wrote about what has happened to this country since 9/11. It’s not good; nobody has respect for those who think differently. There is no longer, “I respectfully disagree.” It’s more like, “You disagree, so you must be wrong. All the time. For everything.” That couldn’t be more apparent this morning, when news that President Obama…
