Thoughts on Feedly, Inoreader, and RSS Readers
I love the RSS feed and think it’s one of the most powerful tools someone can use to filter and currate content on the web. It’s also one of the most undervalued and underused options. Unfortunately on March 13, 2013, Google announced they were discontinuing Google Reader, stating the product had a loyal but declining…

I Can’t Afford a Kindle, iPad, or eBook Reader?
I love this excuse for not having a Kindle or some type of eBook reader at this point. A better excuse would be that “I don’t want an eBook reader”, that would at least make a more intelligent argument, at least for those of us who live in the United States. The price of a…

Amazon Kindle 2 Review After Damaged Screen Replaced
Being the technology type, I had been looking at the Kindle 2 since it was announced and found it very intriguing. Most everyone that looks at the Kindle, 1st or 2nd generation, balks at the price of the device but being a photographer and traditionally having to spend $1,000’s on one single lens, spending $360…

Damaged or Defective Kindle 2 Screen Failure :: Photos

Top 15 Stars of the Week, October 29
Looking back over this past week, it was overwhelmingly dominated by posts on the Page Rank update. It seems everyone found some way to be touched by this in one way or the other, even if it was just to read the rantings and ravings about Google’s Page Rank update. Especially over the weekend when…

Find New Blogs Using RSS Search Feeds Readers
I have read several blog posts here and there that suggest that there aren’t many good ham radio blogs (or insert specific topic here), and certainly not many that are updated very frequently. This may be the case, the old 80%/20% rule where 80% of the blogs on the Internet are just junk not worth…
