I was one of the few to get an early invite to Google's new social networking platform. I've been using it for about two weeks now and find the platform to be very interesting in what it has to offer and where I think it will go.

In a job interview, you can tell in the first two minutes who the applicant is, the same goes for new technology. In the first two days, you can tell that this has a lot of potential and isn't going away.

I've been programming on the internet and using various forms of internet technology since the internet was born, and I feel that I can recognize a good thing when I see it. This is a good thing that will stick around.

I was really hoping to be able to take the doors and roof off the jeep this weekend. But the 40 degree weather (down from 95) wasn't conducive to taking it apart. Instead, I decided to share some pictures of what it would look like if I were to take it all off!

The battle for browser supremacy still rages on. Internet Explorer 9 has finally been released in it's final form. Google has just released Chrome 11 (beta), and Firefox has just released it's shiny new Firefox 4. They are battling for top honors. Who will win?

People use the web more than ever. We no longer just use the web to read static information, we use it to interact! The single most used piece of software on any computer is the browser by a hige margin. You use a browser every day! Better have a good one!

Interventional cardiologists in some countries have embraced radial-artery access for placing catheters aimed at the coronaries into patients. Dr. Jolly, a cardiologist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, cited a greater than 90% rate among French interventionalists and a greater than 95% rate in Canada. But as recently as last summer, U.S. cardiologists used radial access for a mere 4% of their coronary catheterizations, based on data collected by the National Cardiovascular Data Registry, said Dr. Edward J. McNulty, an interventional cardiologist at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco.

I just upgraded my blog to the 2.0 version of BlogEngine.Net.

It has a much cleaner interface and loads much faster. The performance and speed makes it the premiere Dot Net blog. It now uses .NET 3.5 as opposed to 2.0 (technical jibberish), but this all makes it faster and better. It took me a while to figure out how to upgrade, but I finally got it done!

The controls and dashboard for the administrators is clean and much more user friendly. I know that doesn't matter to anyone else, but makes my life easier. Bloggers are more likely to write if their software is easier to use. Try using blogspot/blogger and see what I mean. It's very slow and you have multiple steps. Hence, the custom blog.

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, FourSquare, Places, and a whole lot of other new words will dominate the marketing scene in 2011 and beyond. Physicians, lawyers, engineers, accountants, professors, politicians, business owners, and any and all professionals need to learn how to take advantage of the social media situation and get on board with social marketing.

I've had the Palm Pre for over a year and have had a great experience with it. My previous 3 phones were all Palm Treos and they worked really well. The 5-way button on the Treos let you quickly get around and the touchscreen added more function and usability. The battery life was tops and you could go 5 days without a charge. I loved it!

Trying to post this from Internet Explorer 9. It doesn't work exactly perfectly. My blog software (which is Microsoft's official .NET blog engine) doesn't cooperate with IE9. I find that kind of weird. I had to change some things around to make it work.

One of the best features of Windows 7 that most people don't realize or use is the ability to find anything on your computer with the tap of a button.

Want to find the "Windows Update" program?

Just press the Windows key (near Alt key), and start typing, "U-P-D..." it will find anything that has those letters in it, and put them in order of the most commonly used. It will search program names, emails, documents (titles of documents as well as text in them), files, media, music, image tags and keywords (if you added any)... just about everything. More...

I was able to play Modern Warfare 2 on my computer for about 30 minutes before my computer overheated and shut down. Apparently, the fan on my graphics card got old and tired of working. Needless to say, it took me about 2 days to get everything up and running at full speed again. Turns out one of my RAM chips came slightly out of scoket as I was troubleshooting, which caused even more problems.

Finally got it up and running at much cooler temperatures (thank God for fans and water) and the game is awesome! 

Call of Duty 4 had awesome weapons, amazing gameplay, amazing graphics, and was the best game I had ever played... ever! It was a culmination of years of computer graphic genius coming together into a perfect, awesome storm! More...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

This title is set to be released on November 10, 2009 (11-10-9) and is expected to break all media sales records for this year. Media and entertainment sales include movies, videos, music albums, etc. This game is highly anticipated and is expected to shatter all of 2009 sales records. It's already broken all of Gamestops "preorder" records to date. That's pretty impressive for a game. It'sThis is technically Call of Duty 6.
