I am proud to unveil my new website, wordbit.com - my latest blog effort using everything I’ve learned here to improve the user experience. I haven’t launched a full-scale marketing campaign yet, so I’m inviting whatever phantom readers I have here to check it out and comment on it. Now, it’s not entirely done yet, but feedback would be great.
Here are some great reasons to switch to wordbit.com:
The URL is so much shorter and easier to remember.
wordbit.com has a clean look, with lots of white space and larger fonts.
Randomly generated banner images…cool!
There are a minimum of cumbersome graphics - should be fast loading.
There is a resource section for technical writers that you can help build.
Focused content and well-written edited posts with substance and a minimum of fluff.
If you like what you read here, switch to wordbit.com and stay in touch!

I’ve just uploaded hundreds and hundreds of old pics to my webshots page. You can check out a slide-show on my new Pictures page. Unfortunately, the slide show only shows the first fifty shots from each album, but click-through on the link below the slide-show if for some reason you want to see them all. And why wouldn’t you? They’re really really good.
Firstly, I am proud to announce that I am the new godfather for a young lad in England who was recently born to some wonderful parents, one of whom is my best friend from high school. Perhaps when he is old enough I can communicate with him via webcam and impart my wisdom to another little being who will probably know more about computers than I ever will.
A couple of cool vids to check out today - the first is an interesting web 2.0 montage put together by a group of faculty and students calling themselves “digital ethnographers”. It’s not too long, check it out if you have a couple of minutes to spare.
If you have more time, check out this documentary on Google, which touches on the dangers of a search engine monopoly in which one company controls the flow of information.
Personally, I don’t think Google is the next big brother, although it is kind of alarming that you can see your own car parked in your driveway on Google Earth. Still, it’s not like the images are running in real-time or anything.
My posts have been sporadic because I have been working on another online project, which I will unveil soon, hopefully within the next few days…
