Is Activision and Infinity Ward serious??? Another $15 COD MW2 map pack?

I was sitting in front of my trusty laptop, working on some plug-ins for my blogs, with one eye on my screen and the other on the television and I caught a commercial announcing a new map pack for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I don’t play many games on my Xbox 360 but [...]

StudioPress – WordPress themes do not get much better than this…

Are you addicted to Facebook?

My name is Doug and I am a recovering Facebook addict! I guess I need a support group of some sort… Recently, I was taking some time out to relax and for some reason, I started thinking about how much time I am spending on Facebook.  I don’t update my status too often but I [...]

Microsoft won’t shoot an arrow in Apple with the Zune anytime soon.

ScribeFire – An integrated blog editor for FireFox.

It all started with a lost comment in WordPress late one night. I spent almost an hour replying to someone on one of my blogs and my browser locked up. Needless to say, I got caught up in my writing and did not save my comment like I always try to do and of course, [...]

Is social media making our world a small world?

After reading an article about the small world theory from the Washington Post a few days ago, I have been thinking about how many people I have met through social media sites like Plurk and Twitter.  In the two short months that I have been using Plurk, I have almost 30 new friends.  Some friends [...]

Spend time on your blog content, not your theme.

Let someone else take the credit for your theme. For the longest time, I wanted to create my own custom theme for my WordPress blogs. I spent hours working on the classic theme, trying to make it look like I wanted but for some odd reason, it never turned out how I expected. All this [...]
