Thanks to Robyn, I learned that not only can you use X10 cameras to spy on your kids or the babysitter, or your good looking houseguests, but lots of other folks could be tapping into those images as well! Hmm might want to think twice about what you’re doing in front of the X10, eh?

It will be interesting to see how Chris Pirillo’s e-book does. It’s an interesting idea, pool together 50 tips about a subject, XP in this case, and push it out as an e-book at 5 bucks a pop. I’m curious to see how it sells.

This article compares current proposed US legislation to the USSR. Hmm maybe he read my comparison to Cuba? 🙂

    Looks like Brad is leaving the blogging world behind. I can’t say that I’m all that surprised. When I met him here in Columbus a few weeks back I could feel the time constraints of being a husband and father, working and going to school weighing on him. Maybe not blogging will free up some…

    This should be about the last blog entry before we take off for Boston. Our flight’s at some ungodly hour (6AM), which with airport security being what it is, means us at Port Columbus around 4AM. Needless to say, there will be no time for an online presence this evening. But here’s a short list…

    Looks like Robert’s brother, Alex, is blogging about his life as an IT Manager for a small law firm. Should be interesting stuff! As a small business IT guy myself, I can empathize with the headaches that switching from WordPerfect to Office 2003 are going to bring. Not so much in the technology, but in…
