Even if you’re not a blogger yourself, chances are you read a few of them. It seems like everyone is blogging these days, including my mom on occasion (so ok, maybe not recently). Heck, even when you aren’t intending to read a blog, you may end up doing so after following a link from a search engine when you’re looking for something specific.

Why did media companies miss the boat on the web? They haven’t always valued the input from their own technology folks on staff.

During my trips around the community today, I was sighing heavily when I came across a few new spammers on Geeks. I had to ban the members, and delete their comments. I know you all get just as tired as I do of having to look past the spam to get to anything worth reading. However – get past it I do.

Now that I’m finding my way around on my new Wii, I am having a great time discovering everything I can do with it. Did you know, for example, that you can get your local news… right on your Wii? I haven’t even played a video game yet, because I’m too entranced by everything else it can do. I found out about getting my weather on the Wii… and now I’ve connected to the news!
