#FollowFriday – @dsobkowiak: Dad, Husband, Writer

by Scott Roche February 25, 2011 Follow Friday

In a previous #FF, the one for Laura the Gypsy Pirate, we mentioned her collaborator David Sobkowiak. I promised a FF for him and I am a big believer in delivering on promises. You’ll note that the avatar he’s currently using is a book cover. That’s because he, like yours truly, is an author and […]

#FollowFriday – @LN_Dragonsong: Writer, Actress, Artist, Podcaster, and Gypsy Pirate

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor February 18, 2011 Follow Friday

This week’s pick is someone special. I don’t know how I’ve managed to neglect this person for so long. Maybe it is just that when you follow a lot of awesome people, you can’t pick out everyone at once. And so someone who is very deserving of recognition ends up getting passed over far too […]

An unexpected turn of events.

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor February 14, 2011 Announcements

Friends and Neighbors, I was in the midst of putting the finishing touches upon today’s review, when I began suffering several bouts of painful gastric distress. It has been very distracting and has eaten up my time this evening. The upshot is that today’s review will be late as I need to get to sleep […]

Part of me really wants to move to New Zealand. If the footage from Lord of the Rings is any indication it’s positively gorgeous. Add to that the awesome tweeps I’ve met who’re from that blessed island and I simply have to think that it’s got to be as near perfection as any place on […]

#FollowFriday – @TRReed: Math Teacher, Podcast addict, Bitstrips artist, and Texan

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor February 4, 2011 Follow Friday

Have you met @TRReed? And yes, that’s not a typo. Or at least, it isn’t OUR typo. If he typoed his Twitter name and never bothered to fix it, that isn’t our fault. Or it could have just been that @treed got there before him, but I digress… Thomas Reed, our @TRReed, is a Math Teacher, compulsive podcast […]
