Tweeps I have met (on the Internet) 2nd Edition

There had to be a sequel. Tuesday’s post contained only a few examples of Blogging Awesomeness and I have been receiving tons and tons of hate-mail. Best Friends.

Tweeps I have met (on the Internet)

Social Networking is just one aspect of Blogging. Depending on why you blog – money, fun or both, you will get to know people that make an impression.

Wedding

Cutting the Red Tape

You just got to love them, the pencil pushers, the white collar wearing ‘civil servants’ that may or may not grant you something that’s rightfully yours. To begin with. Yours, I said. Yours.

Mouse Control

Interview with my Blog

I have been thinking lately. In itself that’s not too strange, because most people tend to think sometimes. It just popped into my mind, after reading an article about interaction with computers. Hold on. Mouse. Keyboard. Touchscreen and that’s about it. No hanky panky. But now some bright people are researching brain controlled computers. If you remember [...]

Why YOU are your key investment

Over the last year I have been looking with more than normal interest at some of the key players in (my) blogging world. Every one of the people I have been watching had one thing in common with each other, although – at first sight – there is no direct relationship between them. Or they have [...]

Google Products

I want my Google Data Backup. Gimme!

It’s estimated that there are almost 1,200,000,000 Internet users that have a Google account and use one or more of Google’s products. Over the years Google has released a humongous number of services and applications or just bought the services from the other networks, like Instagram.

Les Paul - 1961

Dealing with Information Overload

Kennedy succeeded Dwight Eisenhower as the 35th president of the United States, Frank Sinatra forms his own record label (Reprise Records) and Playboy Magazine was only ten years [...]
