Found a great video of Google founder Larry Page two weeks ago, speaking at Stanford University. The video touches on so many things, but some of the most interesting are how and why they started Google in the first place. In a nutshell, they tried to peddle their search technology around to ever search engine […]
I guess it has been a while now (in internet years) since Google has been on top of the search engine world. So, that means I am going to have to find a new way to find what I am looking for on the web. I used to use Alta Vista for all of my […]
I use Blogger.com to manage virtually all of our blogs as well as host a couple of personal ones. Towards the end of the day here on the Pacific Coast, Blogger can sometimes be a complete pain to use. The high loads their servers are subjected to makes the service unavailable and times out many […]
