Worst blog post ever? Or worst blog ever?

I used to think of lazy bloggers as being the bottom feeders of the web. (You know, people who blog about absolutely nothing and then end the post with, "Thoughts?" or "Discuss!" in some weird bid to get an actual conversation going.) But this one takes the cake. In a post to the...

Welcome to Chromium

I'm surprised that there isn't a Google Chrome Blog. After all, the company has about 1100 different blogs, and seems to have one for just about every product and service it makes. That said, Google does have a Chromium Blog , which is about the open source project behind Chrome. It's a start...

Windows Live Contacts

I've been writing (and, on the podcast, talking) about my ongoing move to Web-based services a lot lately, but one thing I've had trouble settling on is an online contacts management system. (As noted in What I Use , I've had to temporarily use a local Outlook-based contacts list.) Despite...
