  • Internet Explorer 6 Still Kicking?

    I just discovered something shocking when looking through the statistics for this blog.  First, let me disclose that this blog is fairly new, so it is not getting a ton of visitors.  This month, however, I have started to discern trends, and one of them left me puzzled. 6.9% of visitors to this site are […]

  • New Facebook Profile Page

    The new profile page on Facebook is pretty interesting. It now gives you more information at the very top without having to choose the info tab. It looks nice, although I’m not sure I like my pictures right there at the time, but anyone else’s would be fine. That is all.

    Kno Tablet for School Textbooks

    Earlier in the week, “I Can’t Internet” published my article “Will tablets replace laptops and netbooks?”  Essentially, my answer was no, but there are certain niche industries where it makes sense to move to tablets. K-12 schools spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on textbooks.  Some charge rentals fees for students, but many urban schools […]
