I can’t embed this video from YouTube, but here’s a link to the original skit. Just for a little humor to your Thursday.
Interesting Stuff - Random Thoughts and Resources I'd Like to Share
This is that category of stuff that may just not fit anywhere else. It will usually be interesting websites or other resources I may have come across. It could also be some random thoughts I have and want to "get down" on some virtual paper somewhere. Hopefully you'll find it interesting, it's definitely just a bunch of stuff!
Noobie – Friendly Technology Consulting & Technology
I met a gentleman, Patric Welch, this morning at my local coffee shop that runs the Noobie website and I really like the design, functionality and helpfulness of this site.
If you just need some tips and quick information on topics like:
- Computers
- Digital Cameras
- Television, home theaters and even systems of home theater seating
- Internet
- Phones & Mobile Devices
- iPods & MP3 Players
The Noobie website will probably give you exactly the information you need to get started and answer the immediate questions you may have.
Here's what Patric says about the site himself…
Noobie, Inc. is your technology education destination. Whether you want to get the most out of the latest gadget or learn new ways to make technology work for you, we can help. Noobie, Inc. offers reliable and objective information in safe and understanding environments. Attend an event, read an article, browse the blog, or schedule a coaching session.
Why didn't I think of this first! Arrrghh.
If you're like me and serve as the alpha-geek of your immediate and extended family. The Noobie site could be a great link to send friends and family to help them educate themselves on the tech that's out there and what it can do for them.
Stop being a noob, go visit…

Is My Local Newspaper Spying on Me?
I opened my browser this evening and my normal two start-up pages were joined by a page with the information shown above on it.
A brand new browser session, but a new tab was now displayed with information from the website of our local newspaper. How?d they do that? It doesn?t really bother me, in fact I?ll probably submit some interest in their offer, but I can?t figure out how they took control of my browser to give me this little advertisement. Seems weird.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
