Get ONXRT: Live from The Archives Volume 10 Before It’s Too Late!
I can’t even explain to you how much I miss WXRT. XRT is the best rock radio station in Chicago, and now that I’ve lived in several other cities, I can say that it is one of the best (if not the best) radio station in the country. Every year (or almost every year), XRT…

Back to The Drawing Board
It has been brought to my attention by my Internet Explorer-using friends that my blog theme looked terrible in IE. What’s funny is that it looked great in Firefox and Safari. Internet Explorer has always been the problem child of the web design community because it does not adhere to standards as well as it…

I Want My Last.fm!
I admit that I’m a little late to this party, but I love Last.fm! It’s an incredibly simple concept. You go to their website, type in the name of an artist you like, and music by that artist and similar artists starts playing in the music player that is embedded in the site. If you…

The big question is whether or not anyone will actually care that there is a new version of the Zune available. In all of my…

With the credit market the way it is right now, it is good to see legal and mortgage experts get together to help borrowers. TheMortgageMess.com’s main products…

Are You Telling Me My Power Mac Is Almost Vintage?
I read on TUAW last week that the next version of Mac OS X will come very close to making my Power Mac G4 a vintage machine. It seems the minimum system requirements for Mac OS X Leopard will call for at least an 800 MHz G4 processor. If not for all of the upgrades…

Two Business 2.0 = One Fortune?
Not long ago, I wrote about the downfall of my favorite magazine. This afternoon, I went out to the mailbox and found my copy of the last edition of Business 2.0. The magazine was wrapped in a plain white cover with a thoughtful little note from Time notifying me that Business 2.o was no more…
