Lost in translation
The post on thumb drives a while back got kind of a bizarre comment last night, that I let through.

It's called "stupidity"
I am a patient person when it comes to people who are less computer savvy than me, I think more patient than most. Therefore it might come as a surprise when I denounce these folks as just stupid. It should not.

Fadden 2.0
Since James would probably veto this as not being relevant to techNOcool, I'm posting this. He can correct me or fill in the details later.
I'm calling him Fadden 2.0, until I hear for sure about a name. But he was born around 7pm last night, 7lb 12oz. And hey, he may not be technology, but he is emerging. So there....
Congrats to the Fadden family!

Adding to the Blog Roll
So the blog-o-sphere is ever expanding as 'You' know. This could very well lead to information overload and actually much has been documented on this. Just Google it, forgive me Librarians and you will see what I am talking about. That is probably where these to sites came from lifehack.org and lifehacker.com.
On these sights you will find tips, tricks and technology to simplify your life. These posts on these pages often include software, gadgets and processes that are just emerging on the market. For this reason I added them to the blog roll.

James Kim
I've been listening to a lot of CNET podcasts and my TiVo gives me a 15 minute CNET tech product review that I started watching every week, as part of trying to be better informed about technology, and get a sense of how to talk about technology in an accessible way for this blog.
One of the senior editors at CNET who I listened to was James Kim, whose name has unfortunately been plastered across the news when he attempted to find help for his stranded family and vehicle in the mountains of Oregon. His wife and two children stayed with the car and after five days were found by rescuers, but James who went out in the cold and snow for help was only found after it was too late. As a kindred spirit, I wanted to say something in memoriam and link to the CNET website where they have put up a web and video tribute. It has clips from some of his better reviews - and by the way, it's a chance to look at a site that is a really good starting place for thinking about technology purchases. They do some of what we're trying to do on this blog really well.
