While everyone is still twittering about the death of MySpace and the Flight from FaceBook, I thought I’d take a few minutes to write down what I want from a social networking site that no one has yet provided. It could be the next insanely great thing.

Like a lot of people, I’m on FaceBook. I’m on Twitter. I’m fascinated and creeped out at the same time.
And I finally figured out why. The fatal flaw of both is embedded in the genius of both. Much of the commercial history of the Internet is about companies trying to PUSH. Push technology. Push information. [...]

Listen to Susan Campbell talk about her book, “Dating Jesus,” on NPR and you can probably tell how much fun it is to have her as a friend.
Connecticut Public Radio: Dating Jesus
Her blog is a fine hangout, too.

It’s not so much an interrogatory as it is a book title. I just ordered it and am figuring, already, that it will be about my favorite book of 2009, or any other year, for that matter, because it’s written by Susan Campbell, who is brilliant and a friend of mine, besides. And she apparently [...]

The American Medical Association has released guidelines for medical travel and tourism. This is pretty big news, in the part of the world that concerns itself with the globalization of medical care and services.
I’ve already blogged about this at The Bridge, where I have the nine principles as stated by the AMA.
The principles had not [...]

The “first” Robert Benchley was the one I thought I sort of knew, as much as you can know someone who died 11 years before you were born. He wrote brilliantly and hilariously for The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, won an Oscar and, by all accounts, acquitted himself with distinction at the Algonquin in [...]

I’m the grouchy geek, at least for today, since my laptop hard drive died. But I’m not so geeky that I’d spend any time grousing about that, since I saw (or rather, heard) it coming. The dreaded “click of death” started about three weeks ago.
Which was also about when I thought I was done with [...]

Yes, I’m asking. “The grass is always greener …”
Not that western Massachusetts is bad. I like it a lot, in fact. It’s less expensive than Connecticut, where I lived for most of the last 30 years.
But everything is relative. I’ve been looking, lately, into areas of the country where I could probably live far less [...]

I’ve always had sort of a roguish curriculum vitae, I guess. Why “roguish?” I’m certain most employers would (or have) describe/d it differently and with less charm. But I think it is the right word because, for example, I could probably add that I was first mate on a pirate ship and people would [...]

(Update: If you’re going to read this, you should also know that TigerDirect, or at least someone who works for the company, apologized to me in May ‘08. Better late than never.)
It has been three months now since I vented about bad, bad, bad customer service from tigerdirect.com. I never did get around to writing [...]
