by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor April 15, 2011 Follow Friday

This week’s FollowFriday is a very special one for me. Naturally, they’re all special, or they wouldn’t get mentioned. But this week’s pick isn’t just someone who inspires me, she is also someone whom I am proud to say that I have inspired. Let me introduce you to Rachel, also known as @GuestfordJunkie, a lovely […]

SpamCop.net

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor April 11, 2011 Service

Everyone hates spam. I’m not talking about the canned luncheon meat that has many fans and detractors, I’m talking about the untold volumes of unwanted e-mail that fills your mailbox, offering you “opportunities” to have larger breasts, lose weight quickly, to make millions with no effort using Multi-Level-Marketing, or to gain ill-gotten millions by helping […]

#FollowFriday – @jwilkers: Christian, husband, father, homeschooler, host of The Wired Homeschool and Jesus Geek podcasts

by Scott Roche April 8, 2011 Follow Friday

I’ve gotten to know a lot of geeks over the year, few more geeky than John Wilkerson. He has hosted more podcasts than you can shake a stick at, including the Jesus Geek, the Wired Homeschool, and Compassion 365. He’s into technology for his day job and while he’s an outspoken Christian, even if you’re […]

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor April 1, 2011 Follow Friday

It’s been a while since I’ve recommended a celebrity on #FollowFriday, and this week’s pick is one that has risen to sudden stardom in a very short time. After living a relatively quiet life at the Bronx Zoo, the @BronxZoosCobra set off to discover new territory, and to record his adventures on Twitter. Now you can […]

Plain Text

by Scott Roche March 28, 2011 iOS

I’m a big fan of programs that do precisely what I need them to do – no more, no less. It seems that the folks at Hog Bay Software are of the same mind, because their free app Plain Text is a great example of just that. I’ve been enjoying my iPhone immensely and one […]

#FollowFriday – @svallie: USAF Vet, Mother, Blogger, Podcaster, Fearless Leader, Producer of Calls for Cthulhu

by Scott Roche March 25, 2011 Follow Friday

I looked up the word “firebrand” before I started to write this post, because I was pretty sure it fit Allison D. Duncan aka @svallie, but I wanted to make sure. I had visions of butt-kicker and pot-stirrer running in my head. She’s certainly both of those. I’m not sure that troublemaker or revolutionary quite […]

You know that person who always seems to be cheerful no matter what is going on? The one that seems to weather the toughest storms because they are just happy to be here? Well, I’m not sure I know that person, but let me introduce you to someone who seems to come awful close. Paulette […]

#FollowFriday – @mplested: Author, podcaster, and silly bugger

by Scott Roche March 11, 2011 Follow Friday

If you had told me that Canada has the Internet much less Twitter just a few years ago I would have said, “What’s twitter?”. I always envisioned Canada as a land of hockey hooligans, polar bears, and pleasant comedians. Sure enough though, they have most if not all of the amenities we do, including my […]

#FollowFriday – @Nuchtchas: Podcast Ninja! Voice actress, Gamer, Geek Queen!

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

Some of you may have heard of @Nuchtchas. Most of you can’t pronounce it. I know I can’t. Fortunately, she’s a good sport about it and she lets us get away with just calling her Nutty. This is good, as you really don’t want to tick off the Podcast Ninja! if you can help it. […]
