September 13, 2009

The folks at TechSmith have built a light-weight cousin to SnagIt, Jing, and I’m extremely impressed. It’s quick capture and images (and video!) and its ease of use are without match.

I’ve been busy, really….

July 17, 2009

Those who only know me online or keep track of me via social media must have thought I was dead (or abducted by aliens). No twitter, no Facebook, No LinkedIn, no blogging…

A Guide for the Social Media Tone Deaf

March 12, 2009

You probably won’t hear me.  You’re probably busy using Twitter to chase sales leads, or standing on your virtual corner repeating yourself over and over, like the poor souls who seem to inhabit every major intersection in big cities.

More Pain for Newspapers?

November 11, 2008

Call me a Luddite, but I loved reading my morning newspaper. It was a morning habit – a retreat from the laptop. But I canceled the delivery of all but the Sunday edition yesterday. Last week The Philadelphia Inquirer was late most days. Cutbacks in delivery service have killed reliability, and my ability to read [...]
