Originality doesn't equal popularity

Jan 16, 2009
One of the most talked about rules that just about every new blogger will hear being thrown around like it is some damn commandment is that you need to be original. the second has to be the one...

Bitching about Twitter is so last year, now it's all about FriendFeed

Jan 3, 2009

Wow There Is A World Beyond Social Media

Nov 30, 1999
I really like writing and opinionating about technology. For me it feeds the creative need that once was funneled into doing software development. It also gives me a way to vent about the things that bother me about technology...

How Not To Be Liked On FriendFeed

Nov 30, 1999
While this post sort of singles out FriendFeed I believe the basic idea can be translated to any of the popular socila media services because this is more about social media than just any one service.

Some registry utility goodness for Friday

Nov 6, 2009
The registry has – in my opinion – always been the Achilles Heel for Windows. When first conceived it was only meant to be used by Windows and other Microsoft specific software. It was never meant to be the gluttonous pig that it has devolved into,...

The horror that is Windows 7 licensing

Nov 5, 2009

Talk about bring back memories

Nov 2, 2009
Here’s a screen that will bring back memories for those of us old enough to remember DOS and VGA monitors. The only problem is that this is a fake online scanner virus warning notice being displayed in a browser window. According to the guys over...

  Steven Hodson has been an old, cranky Canadian fart on the internet longer than you. He knows a lot about a lot of things, and always delivers cutting, thoughtful articles on social media, software, and the internet at large. Always fun to read, and with lots of lively conversation. Steven also believes strongly in giving back.. he is always reviewing new blogs and linking up new articles.
