What Five Years can do to Internet Explorer

As I unwind from a long day of educational mind-molding and customer-service mind-turning work, I am reminded thanks to the crew of fellow geeks and tech enthusiasts over at Gizmodo that today, or thereabouts, marks the fifth anniversary of a little thing many of us call Firefox. Call it insignificant, call it game-changing.  Whatever you call it, whether you use it or not, Firefox has become the big dog of the little dogs.  No longer do we have to browse the Internet in the bloatware that co...

One People, One World

In our ever globalizing world, news and information is available to those "connected" folks worldwide within seconds. This most recent presidential election proved that technology is what we rely on. And if one things for sure, those that know how to effectively utilize the mediums of technology that interconnect us all can rapidly spread information, gain support, and share information. President Obama realized the importance of social networking in America and around the world. Contrastingly S...

Golden Gate Sunset.

Golden Gate Sunset. Originally uploaded by iBichon in Studio Beautiful capture. As today marks 300 views to this blog, a small number, but a milestone nonetheless, I wanted to share a picture I found on my Flickr homepage. It's linked back to the creator's Flickr for larger viewing. This image has creative composure and captures the sunset at one of America's landmarks perfectly. I'm diggin' the bokeh.

This Ones for YOU

From those who could vote to those who couldn’t vote, it is clear that the winner of this election is YOU - the people. From bloggers to supporters, from campaign donors to campaign volunteers, this election raised serious questions as to the future state of affairs of the United States of America, and the people responded. And record voter turnouts are just the beginning... For the second Presidential election in a row, the Internet has become a driving force for campaigning. It has, in many w...

The Internet

My name is David, I am a blogger, and I have found the Internet. Blogging has offered an outlet to those in need of having their voice heard, their situation, or conflict that traditional news outlets have perhaps ignored, killed, or buried. Once stuck with the problem of having an article only to have an editor or newswire kill it, essentially knocking the story dead in its tracks, reporters, journalists and writers now have alternative methods of getting their story published - through ...

Web 2.0

As I sit here on campus scouring through the websites, blogs, and news articles on our two Presidential candidates, I cannot help but notice the presence of something, and the clear lack of a presence of another. Sitting adjacent to the campus’s central park, I have already seen, in the hour or so I have been here reading, several Obama campaign shirts, clothing apparel, stickers, pins, etc. One would expect to see a similar footprint of merchandising and support for the Obama camps rival, John ...

Don't Vote

It is more important than ever to go out and vote, a statement I can not stress enough. The last eight years have not only changed our nation, they have changed the world. From political relations to economic markets, the world has become a worse place because of the Bush administrations agenda. What was once an economic system in surplus under the Clinton administration, George W. has managed to muster up a multi-trillion dollar deficit. The election is less than a month away, and change is not...
