  • Imagining the Google future

    An interesting article posted on CNNMoney called, Imagining the Google Future, looks at where Google might be taking us as we move into the future.  Essentially, a group of experts were asked the question, what will Google look between the period of 2015-2125.  Its worth the read I think. –Terry

  • Is the honeymoon over

    I wonder if the honeymoon is over for Google, at least as it relates to Wall Street. I’d never seen a company who’s value was more over inflated since its first public offering, and after missing their earnings estimates for this quarter (though, its ready why they missed them that’s even more interesting), it appears…

  • Enough with the rain already

  • Internet Explorer 7 preview

    I figured since I do a bit of web development (though I’ll admit it tends to mostly be backend work), I thought I’d download Microsoft’s new IE 7 preview.  For the most part, it looks pretty good.  Nothing earth shattering or worth switching from your current browser if your happy with it, but I do…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 refresh

    Fixed a couple of bugs.  The one that folks would most likely run across was a bug in the swap fields function.  If you used the find text option, a match and swap would never occur. Other fixes, I’ve added some code to make sharing the application across a network share easier. As always, the…
