A Sign of the Times

Monday, February 25th, 2008

When I was a child, my hometown had two editions of the daily newspaper. Eventually, the evening edition was discontinued. Yesterday, on the back page of the weekly television listings section, there was a printed notice

saying that it was the last edition of the weekly listings, because technology had changed, and it is now possible to get television listings from multiple other sources such as online and by phone. I’m surprised the entire newspaper hasn’t gone away yet…

Pirillo’s Picks

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

Some people collect stamps. Some collect coins. I collect links. I can’t help it. I’m a packrat when it comes to good computer applications and links to the plethora of websites I come across every week.

I am a long-time reader of Chris Pirillo’s Lockergnome newsletter, one of the first newsletters I found when I began learning about computers and technology. I still find lots of good information in LG. Chris has recently developed Pirillo’s Picks, a daily, weekday e mail with links to various sites he finds interesting and useful. Thanks to Pirillo’s Picks, I’ve already found some good software and informative sites that I might not otherwise have found. You can subscribe to it by sending an e mail to picks@lockegnome.com.
