MediaTemple’s Database exploit and why I’m Glad I left

I had been a huge advocate of MediaTemple, even sent clients there to host their sites on their servers. But recently when it came time to renew my virtual server I shopped around and found an amazing deal with GoDaddy. Four times the server for the price I was paying with MediaTemple. I could have [...]

Redbox Coupons

Usually Redbox scores with smart emails about upcoming rentals and interesting tidbits about movies. But I thought the latest email was a bit odd: Rent 8 movies in August and get one rental free. It’s not that free isn’t a good thing, especially if you will already rent 8 movies over 31 days, its that [...]

Microsoft Office is Online with Skydrive

Earlier today I wrote about how Microsoft was going to be competing with Google Docs and then I got an email from Microsoft. Because I’m a Office 2010 Beta user I’ve got access to Office online via something called SkyDrive. It’s surprisingly good actually. It isn’t as robust as Word the software, but its 95% [...]

Microsoft to bring Office Suite online

According to The Financial Times Microsoft is going to bring Office online like Google has with Google Docs. I happened to stumble onto the article after doing a search to see if it was already being offered and oddly enough the news was released today.

Zazzle is a pretty surprising disruptive innovation

Today my new test business cards arrived from Zazzle. Where they perfect? No. They were only $15. It was a sort of trial because I didn’t think they could possible be good–so I ordered the cheapest set possible. But now that I’m convinced they are legit and can do a good job. So, its time [...]
