This will be the first post in a multi-part post on the phenomenal tool that is Google Docs. First I tackle their Document features. I write a lot more these days than I used to. I’m also collaborating on a staggering number of projects, and I need an easy way to share, create, and edit […]

Today, I bring you one @JRDSkinner. I don’t know much about JRD as a person. I do know that he has a podcast called Flash Pulp that’s been running for over one hundred and fifty episodes and that takes a special kind of crazy. According to him, it’s three to ten minute tales full of […]

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 […]

Plain Text

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

AVG Anti-Virus

by Scott Roche January 31, 2011 Featured

My personal philosophy when it comes to anti-viruses is, so long as you follow a few simple rules they shouldn’t be necessary. Most of the big name commercial anti-virus packages are what I call “bloat-ware”. They slow down even the newest computers and in my experience either lull people into a false sense of security […]

#FollowFriday – @IndianaJim: Author of forthcoming WARS novella from Grail Quest Books, Host of The Adventures of Indiana Jim podcast, SF/F Geek

by Scott Roche January 28, 2011 Follow Friday

There are geeks and then there are geeks like @IndianaJim. I would feel safe in calling him a geek’s geek or perhaps a geek among geeks. I mean come on, his Twitter handle is a tribute to the iconic Harrison Ford character and he produced a fantastic full cast Star Wars audio drama. I don’t […]
