Have Facebook Apps Peaked in Popularity? - BuzzYA!
Glaser talks about how he used to be excited when he received a notification of a new action on Facebook -- a poke, a wall post, a message -- but more recently, all that has changed. "Now, my reaction to getting the same kinds of notifications has...
ICANN Board Recommends Ending Domain Tasting
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is looking to effectively end domain tasting with a proposal to start charging the annual ICANN fee on registrar domain registrations. Domain tasting is the use of the Add Grace Period to test the...
One week ago I was under the knife - so to speak
I don't think they really use a knife for arthroscopic surgery, but I really don't want to know. The first 3 days afterwards are really hazy, thanks to the pain meds. Friday night, the Cryo/Cuff came off, the ON-Q PainBuster came out and the bandages...
My shoulder surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday
My vacation is over and now it's time to move on to the shoulder surgery to remove the bone spur, fix the partially torn rotator cuff, torn cartilage, and remove the cyst . The surgery is scheduled for 10:15 Wednesday morning - I have to be there...
Network Solutions is at it again - now they are stealing your domain name ideas
I have blogged before about Network Solutions/Verisign and their capers - specifically Site Finder . Today I read that Network Solutions steals domain ideas when people check domain availability on the Network Solutions web site. Does this surprise me...
NFL to share Saturday's Patriots’ game on CBS, NBC nationwide
In an unprecedented television touchdown, the NFL announced today that Saturday night’s Patriots Giants game will be telecast simultaneously on three networks clearing the airwaves for a coast-to-coast opportunity for fans to witness football history...
HP - you have lost me as a customer
and it's too bad, because I already have a couple of your products - an iPaq rx3715 and a Deskjet Printer 6540 - and they are great. But your sales department leaves much to be desired. On December 2nd (10 days ago) I decided to order a w2207 monitor...
Lovely weather expected tonight - not
We've been hearing about this forecast all week - right now they're saying: Two nasty storms, one bound for the Northeast, the other for the Northwest, will intensify this evening and tonight. The northeastern storm has temporarily lost a bit...
Kudos to Target.com on the Graco infant car seat recall
Last spring, I purchased a Graco infant car seat from Target.com as a baby shower gift for the daughter of a friend. I saw on NBC News the other night that there was a recall and I was going to follow-up on it. Yesterday, I got an email from Target notifying...
MRI Results - Good news and bad news
The bad news first - not only do I have a bone spur, but I also have a partially torn rotator cuff, torn cartilage and a cyst - the last two are most likely the result of waiting too long to go to the doctor. This can all be taken care of with 1 day outpatient...
MRI Follow-up
I'm back. The MRI only took about 20 minutes and wasn't bad at all. Of course, I did keep my eyes closed the whole time. They gave me noise-canceling headphones to wear and also piped in music from Grey's Anatomy Season 1 (my choice). It actually...
Select Insurance called again today
I happen to be home today - it's Veterans' Day - and Select Insurance just called again - this time the number was (508) 422-9661. Not only am I on the National Do Not Call Registry, but when Select Insurance called last week, I told them to put...
Having an MRI today
This is step 2 in determining how extensive the surgery on my shoulder is going to be. I've never had an MRI before, so I don't know what to expect. I'm quite sure I'm not claustrophobic - I would think at my age I would know that, right...
Who is Select Insurance and how do they know so much about me?
For the last few months, I've been seeing "Insurance Select" (1-508-458-0203) on my Caller ID. They never left a message, so I didn't think much of it. Actually I thought they might be a bill collector after my daughter, but that's...
Surgery on the horizon?
In July, I started feeling pain in my left shoulder when I raised my arm. I didn't think much of it and thought it would go away by itself. I think everyone thinks that at first, when something starts to go wrong with your body. I was secretly attributing...
Toy Hazard Recall List
For those of you having a hard time keeping up with all the toys that have been recalled, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has put up a page on their web site with a complete list , the newest at the top.
Is anyone home at VIA NET.WORKS?
My web site has been down since Friday night, and all my email is bouncing back to the sender. They won't answer my emails asking for an ETA on a resolution - when I call they are all sorts of apologetic, they tell me that the sysadmins are working...
Moving my web site to a new host
This article, 6 Easy Steps to Making a Web Hosting Switch , couldn't have come at a better time. I am so unhappy with VIA NET.WORKS and I'm getting ready to move on. My web site has been down since Friday night and I can't get an ETA from...

My Rose of Sharon is blooming
This was totally unexpected - a friend of mine at work gave me a cutting from her Rose of Sharon and explained how to plant and care for it. She also said not to expect much from it this first year, but that I would get blooms next summer. Today I went...
