Social Media Revolution
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010This isn’t a new video by any means, but one worth watching if you haven’t already. A longer, more detailed HD version is available on YouTube (search on “social media revolution” and you will find it right away).
Fun With Cable Modems
Thursday, January 7th, 2010We subscribe to a Comcast service bundle at home — “Triple Play” is it called? The device that delivers our digital phone and broadband internet service is an Arris Touchstone Telephony Modem , which I attempted to relocate the other night in hopes of attaching our wireless internet router to a Blu-ray player.

Giving WordPress a Go
Monday, January 4th, 2010Sorry for the lack of content at this time. I recently switched web hosting providers, and given HostMonster’s very easy WordPress installation (literally a few clicks), I thought I’d give it a try as my primary content management tool. Most of my background with WordPress, has involved its use as a content management tool during my time as webmaster for the Minnesota Health Strategy and Communications Network (MHSCN). And now, I look forward to learning more about what’s under the WP hood. Anyone know if there is a way I can import posts from a previous Blogger blog?
