Digital ADD (Digital Attention Deficit Disorder) - I has it.

Digital ADD. I don’t know if this term has been coined by others (I imagine it has) but that’s what I’m suffering from today. Actually I’ve been suffering more and more from it over the past year or two.
Right this moment, I have Firefox open with 18 tabs: Gmail, Google Reader, Meebo, Google Docs, Twitter [...]

Drowning in Lemonade

The old cliche goes “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.”
I’m beginning to drown in the lemonade but I’m hoping for a lemon shortage in the next couple of weeks.
I’ve been on the internet little the last few weeks and have neglected not only the blog but twitter, facebook, friendfeed, seesmic, etc.
I’ve been told several [...]

Saturday Morning ToonDoo…

My good Twitter pal Paisano created a great comic on ToonDoo.com which was today’s Editor’s Pick.

I think Pai’s toon deserves a Digg don’t you?
I’ve never heard of ToonDoo.com until today but I quickly signed up for a free membership so I can play with the great Toon creation tools they have. Here’s a quick (and [...]

Morning Music #7 - the @davidusher edition

When I woke up this morning I really didn’t have anything specific in mind for today’s Morning Music. It’s raining and cold again after a week of sunshine and spring and I’d likely have gone with something moody to suit the rainy day.
As I was doing my usual morning caffeination and catch-up I noticed [...]

Morning Music #6 - We Are Family

I’ve been thinking about how my “family” has grown over the past year. I’ve had online friends and been part of online communities for over a dozen years now but the last year my involvement in the Twitter community and in smaller part the Facebook community has brought a lot of great people into my [...]

GapingVoid leaves Twitter leaving a … gaping void?

Hugh MacLeod, better known to some as GapingVoid, has announced that he has deleted his Twitter account.
MacLeod - cartoonist, author, blogger, all around Renaissance man - will be sorely missed by his legions of followers. You can subscribe to his blog to keep up with him now.
It seems that the more popular Twitter becomes, the [...]

Morning Music #4: Happy Birthday Mr. Brogan

This morning is Twitterville Mayor Brogan’s birthday. I wanted to find a song that sums up all of the things that Chris Brogan has brought to the Twitter community and the various other social networks he’s involved in. I wanted to make a statement about what Chris Brogan has done to affect how I personally [...]

8 Things You Might Not Know About Me

I’ve been tagged by Loud Mouth Man to write 8 things. I’m not really sure where to begin but let’s see what I can come up with.

In 1996 I won Family PC Magazine’s best kids’ website contest for my site Maddy Mayhem’s Kids’ Stuff which was later mentioned in several other magazines & newspapers worldwide [...]

You are about to close 74 tabs. Are you sure you want to continue?

I admit it. I’m totally addicted to tabs in Firefox. Are you?
When I get up in the morning and start up Firefox it automatically opens my first tabs of the day: Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, weather, local news.
I read about 175 (give or take a few) RSS feeds so the first thing I do [...]

What’s Your Pot of Gold?

I’ve mentioned in previous posts my plans to change my life in many ways. I’ve also mentioned my goal to move in about 10 years time to somewhere with a moderate climate, possibly the south of France although I’m considering several options.
Last night I got into a heated argument with a very dear friend about [...]
