I was enjoying the audiobook The Year Without Pants so much that I was hoping it would never end. Despite that, when about halfway through Pants, I began trying to decide between two books to listen to next. I was really torn between two. Seemingly serendipitously, as I finished the last few minutes of Pants,…

Tinypass and WordPress Monetization
Andrew Sullivan gets 8,000,000 hits a month with a WordPress VIP back-end and monetizes with tinypass. Miniscule development costs. 6 employees. (I watched his interview on NYT and checked out his set-up.)
Switched To Office 365
I finally switched my own site, email, and intranet to Office 365. The Exchange is a little better than my previous version. For instance, it has full task syncing. The integration into my Windows Phone is a little better. Email flagging on the phone is nice. When my domain approaches its expiration date, I may…
Activism 201: Achieve Your Goals – Getting the Right Publicity
A friend of mine had been sending around emails of this research he’d done on some potential corruption. It seemed like good work that wasn’t getting its due. I asked him last summer asking how he’d feel if I posted his research on the web. I put up and customized a $15 a year WordPress…
Disposable Websites

But I do love a website that goes from idea to launched in few hours. This last one went like this, “You’ve done all this great research…
Quick Set Up of Fledgling Biz IT

He showed his desktop and clicked through some links. We chose to buy the web domain and hosting from WordPress.com. WordPress.com makes it easy to set up…
Office 365, Intune, and Dynamics CRM Online
Free software isn’t always cheaper in the end. I’m dealing with a horrible cluster of open source software on one project; we barely get anything done with all the time we spend trying to figure how the software works. My recent web projects have been in Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, and with Microsoft tools. I’ve even…
Moved Blog to WordPress
Moving this (these) blog(s) to WordPress seems to be working out well. Some of this content was on was an MS Spaces blog and some on a Google Blogger blog. I’m working with a bunch of sites that are WordPress.com or use WordPress.org. Most of them aren’t blogs but full-on websites that may have a blog…
