I was originally planning to do a post about Google Buzz this weekend, but then something reminded me about  Google Wave. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t heard anything about Wave in weeks. It occurred to me that one of the most hyped products of 2009 might have fallen completely on it’s face. [...]

On Thursday Google announced a project they have been working on called Google Public DNS . The Domain Name System, or DNS for short, is something that we use hundreds of times each day but hardly ever think about. DNS is used to translate easy-to-remember hostnames, such as www.google.com, into the actual IP address for the [...]

Often the lunch conversation at work turns to books. Many of my coworkers are avid readers. I, on the other hand, NEVER read books! I can’t remember the last time I’ve read an actual book. I spend most of my “reading time” reading blog post after blog post on a quest to learn as much [...]

Earlier today Google hosted an event for it’s much anticipated new operating system dubbed Chrome OS. This is a very ambitious project that looks to create a lightweight operating system focused on streamlining the average user’s computer experience. Chrome OS consists of ONLY the Google Chrome browser running on a small linux kernel and some [...]

I’ve been spending a lot of time during the past two weeks watching baseball. This is pretty unusual for me since I’m not typically a baseball fan.

Google Wave has been a trending topic on Twitter for weeks, and tweets requesting invites are still pouring in. My own blog [...]

Like every good Apple fanboy, I signed up for Apple’s MobileMe service when it became available in July 2008 alongside the launch of the iPhone 3G. MobileMe is a rebranding of Apple’s .Mac service that has been around for 7 years. The new service promised some cool features and most importantly, “push” email, contacts, and [...]

If you’re anything like me, you love to look at stats! I love charts, graphs, tables, pretty colors… etc. Google Analytics is one of the fun places I like to go when I’ve got time to kill on the web. Last week I added the Penn State Snowboard Club’s site, which I built two years [...]

About a month ago Google announced a revolutionary product at their I/O Developer conference. The product is called Google Wave and it’s going to change the way we think of online communication. Wave blurs the line between email and real-time instant message conversations. It allows you to easily collaborate with lots of friends at once [...]

You may have heard some buzz in the last month or two about a “new” product called Google Voice. It’s basically a renamed version of a product they’ve had called Grand Central. Google Voice is extremely powerful and actually quite simple. Essentially, Google assigns you a Google phone number. Think of this number as your [...]
