As all those who read my blog/follow me on Twitter/stalk me on Facebook/talk to me in RL know, this week hasn't been the best week of my life. But I just want to say thank you to the only one who's stuck with me through the hard times, the good times, the ups, the downs, the turnarounds, and such and such. That's right. I'm talking, of course, about my iPhone. When I was sad or angry, my iPhone sang...

I already have big hair, but since I was in Texas, I made it even BIGGER! Our trip to the Michaels store in San Antonio was one for the memory books!

I must say - that location is one THE prettiest Michaels stores...

With swine flu spreading, federal health and transportation chiefs issued an unusual joint message last week to holiday travelers: If you're sick, don't travel. If you cough, cover your mouth. And wash your hands. A lot. Sounds obvious, but it addresses a major public concern this week. A third of Americans fear catching swine flu during the holidays, a survey by AOL and MapQuest finds.

The glimpse AOL ( NYSE: TWX ) offered late Sunday night of its new branding campaign looked more like icons for AIM, not a branding campaign for a company on the verge of reinvention. That’s because what we’re seeing now is only a teaser, as AOL CEO Tim Armstrong told paidContent in a rare evening interview. For instance, if you just glance at the new AOL logo— ‘Aol.’...

By nature, I am a highly verbal, nonvisual person. I learn best by reading books or listening to lectures. I rarely benefit from looking at tables, charts, pictures, and the like. I’m the kind of guy who can’t drive to an unfamiliar destination without a detailed mapquest itinerary telling me exactly which turns to take; [...]
