If you’ve been reading this blog for any time, you know that my attitude changed last year when everything seemed to turn against me.
I bitched and moaned about it for several months and I’m not going to do any of that now.
Last month, I turned the corner and feel like I’ve finished a dark [...]
I’ve been a fan of Apple and the Macintosh for a long, long time.
But, I’m not much of a fan of mobile computers, devices, or phones.
I don’t have a cell phone and don’t want one.
I like listening to music on my Mac using iTunes, but I’ve never wanted an iPod. In fact, when I won [...]
Selling my own designs on CafePress
I have been selling products in my CafePress shop for several years and there are many things I like about it.

I want to preface this post by saying that I learn much better when I teach myself or learn from an individual than I do when I’m in a classroom. I don’t know if I’m in the minority or the majority in that respect, but I know that all of us learn differently.

If you’ve been reading this blog this year, you know that I was caught by the new tax laws that were passed in North Carolina back in July. As a result, I was dropped by several large merchants as an affiliate, including Amazon.com where I had been an affiliate for over a decade.

How much do you know about Google’s personalized search feature?
For some time now, if you were signed in to Google (through any of the accounts you may have there), your search results were subject to being personalized.
