Fighting the homeless is something near and dear to my heart, especially when it’s at home. I have a non-profit idea I’ll share here later which I may pursue at some time and I think could completely (or closely) eradicate the problem of homelessness. This Christmas I’m thinking a lot of those that are less […]

Image via CrunchBase You may remember my scathing blog post denouncing my Xbox 360 and swearing I was leaving Microsoft. I still feel that way about my old Xbox 360. It was a piece of junk. I sold it, sold all the games, and sent my Windows 7 machine with Windows Media Center on it […]

I’ve been going back and forth with Robert Scoble and others today on why I should use the emerging Question and Answer service, Quora, when Facebook Questions is already pretty effective for me. I often post a Facebook Question and get answers very shortly after, often from very smart people already knowledgeable about the topics […]

As I’ve Tweeted, Facebooked, and Buzzed about recently, Google sent me a Logitech Revue Google TV unit shortly before Christmas which I will probably be using to write apps for. There are many things I like about it, many I don’t, but I’ll save that review (no pun intended) for another date. I did want […]

Back in April I shared how Twitter was misleading the media and its users into thinking the numbers it was reporting were comparable to Facebook’s. The deception stems from a report by Biz Stone at Twitter’s Chirp conference that Twitter has 105 million users. It appears that in the last day or two many of […]

Based on my last post I know you commenters and readers are out there. My last post was all about me. This post is, quite sincerely, about you and I hope I can see the same response from my commenters as I did that last article – I really mean that. The Blogess recently wrote […]

My sister-in-law, a few months back, took these amazing pictures of me to use on Facebook, Twitter, and also for my next book, Facebook Application Development for Dummies. Her name is Megan Stay, and she’s really good if you want some great portraits or headshot photos taken. She travels as well. Be sure to check […]

This video, featuring Handel’s Messiah by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was put together in partnership with BYU TV just for Youtube. I think it’s a beautiful piece. Many people, Christian and not, can’t imagine the holidays without this amazing Choir. I think back to “Mr. Krueger’s Christmas” (with Jimmy Stewart), something close to my family, […]

When I was about 16 or 17 years old I liked to sing in the car. A lot. One time I was driving somewhere with my parents and they had a song, of which one I can’t really remember, but I started to sing along with it. It was probably one of many times I […]

We recently produced this at the Church (I am in charge of Social Media Strategy for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). It’s a culmination of an amazing team that I think did a great job on this. This is one of the cuter videos I think we’ve produced, and it has a […]
