This will be old news pretty quick, but today, the Chicago Bears announced that they have parted ways with Middle Linebacker Brian Urlacher. It’s not gonna be easy to be on the Internet tonight without reading something or hearing someone saying something about this. I am sad, but the reality…
Almost a year ago today (3/15/12) I made a post here covering my initial thoughts on Windows 8. Back then Windows 8 was still in Release Candidate mode, and Microsoft still referred to their new interface as Metro. Now, its 2013 and Windows 8 has been out since last October,…
I’ve been “online” since sometime in 1992. Back then, I used Prodigy. Prodigy was an early on-line service that existed before AOL started. It was a private service that you paid a monthly charge to interact with other Prodigy members. The Internet was in its infancy back then so everything…
