Useful Survey Form

There is a questionnaire on the WWED that was created at the online site: Questionform.
Unless you require a complicated, interactive form or have a need for security. This service looks like the way to go.
Once you sign up for an account with Questionform, either free or paid, building your survey becomes an extremely simple [...]

Winter is Coming to Las Vegas

It’s been mostly overcast for the last couple of days and last night there was just enough rain in the lower part of the Vegas valley to leave spots all over my car.
I took this shot on my way in to work this morning, there wasn’t any rain, but the clouds were dumping snow on [...]

Murdoch and the News

I read David’s -WWED- latest dissertation, mostly on why we should give bloggers in general, and him in particular, money -that $5 a month subscription deal may generate a little more income, but I don’t think he should give up his day job.

I found this turkey at Walmart, at a $1.99lb they cost more than the other birds, but to someone like me they are definitely worth it.
The one [...]

More on Stats

Once upon a time a friend wrote this blog and it had direction. Now I’m writing it and RCNevada no longer has a real direction, nor am I concerned about finding one. So when someone mentions Technorati, a ratings site that sorts by category, I have to laugh.
The truth is that I don’t concern [...]

Wordpress for IPhone

I found an app called Wordpress for IPhone that would allow a friend to post directly to his blog from his phone.
He’s currently doing very short posts, almost like twitter, but he can post photos in real time.
Now the decisions will be based on whether or not he keeps posting, If he does we’ll need [...]

Loyalty Program Scam

In case you haven’t read about this con; here’s a blog post from Raghand:
The headline from CNET: “Feds: Top e-tailers profit from billion-dollar Web scam”
Words like “scam,” “fraud,” and “arrest” filled the air during a Senate hearing on Tuesday that focused on the controversial marketing companies that allegedly dupe consumers into paying monthly fees to [...]
