A few weeks ago I wrote about Backupify.com, a cloud backup service that backs up data from your cloud apps into other parts of the cloud (or is it to different clouds all together?).

Back from presenting small school, Big Tech at CVCUE on Saturday with Danny Silva (iteachag). It was a blast and I really enjoyed seeing all the twitter folks in person. We had some great questions afterward and I met some guys that are trying to bring Big Tech to their school so I hope they…

I’ve become one mixed up computer user. For the past few months I’ve been running Snow Leopard on a hackintosh at home as my main desktop computer. I also have an old laptop running Windows 7 that I occasionally will drag into the living room and work on in front of the TV but more…

Ok, so I use Google Chrome for my HTML5 Beta on Youtube and then have to switch over to Firefox so I can edit my blog because wordpress doesn’t always like Chrome and then I jump back to Chrome to check Gmail because everybody knows Google apps are just stupid fast in Chrome but then…

That goofy quad colored balloon called Buzz was waiting for me under my Inbox when I logged into gmail. It looks interesting. Of course the first thing I did was figure out how to link it with twitter. After that I wasn’t really sure what to make of it. Like all most google apps (not…
