Google+ as a social channel is going away…kind of. Google has announced it’s reorganizing the channel and it’s about to undergo a dramatic change. For most people, this news is a ‘who cares’ announcement because so few people use the social channel. It just never...

In line for The Barnstormer, one of Disney World’s kiddie coasters, my daughters and I wondered how we would get onto the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ride. We missed our chance for a 20 minute wait during magic hours. We didn’t have a Fast Pass. And the...

One afternoon in High School, I watched in awe as a friend connected his IBM PC Jr to a touch-tone telephone. Moments later, after a series of loud squawks and whistles, we were staring at the login for the local university’s library mainframe. That was 1982. Then...
