• Palm Introduces Z22 and TX

  October 12th, 2005 | Tags: Tech
  

  Today Palm has introduced Palm Z22 and Palm T|X. The Z22 is its small and cheap model that retails for $99. It has less features as it targets those who are late technology adopters and those who still use paper planners. The device weighs in at a light three ounces, the size as a deck [...]

• Lefties Make More Money

  October 12th, 2005 | Tags: Business
  

  W00t! The Sunday Times reports that Left-handed people are higher earners. OK… so there’s a footnote that this doesn’t apply to females. But hey! Lots of people think I’m a guy, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right? What great timing considering I’ve been on my own for over two months now with no safety net [...]

• An @ by any other name wouldn’t smell as sweet

  October 11th, 2005 | Tags: Writing
  

  Chevy would not want to sell its Nova with this name to Spanish-speaking people unless they want to promote “no go,” which is what Nova translates to. Who knew that @ has other translations considering it’s in all email addresses no matter what language you speak? Sometimes we forget that @ wasn’t always known as part [...]

• Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I’ve Learned

  October 10th, 2005 |
  

  Second generation actor Alan Alda shows there’s more to him than being a celebrity. If you’re looking for a kiss ‘n tell kind of book, keep looking as you won’t find it here. Though for a brief moment, he does get a little “Hollywood-esque” and lists the women he has kissed in his career. Instead, [...]

• Copywriting, Copyrighting, and Search Words

  October 10th, 2005 | Tags: Writing
  

  While reviewing search engine results, I saw “copywriting music” and “copywriting songs.” Ahem. If these people found results with these terms, then the resource is not likely a reliable resource because that is not the right way to spell the word that means “granting exclusive rights” — that would be “copyrighting.” R-i-g-h-t vs. w-r-i-t-e. And why [...]

• The PalmOS Mystery

  October 7th, 2005 | Tags: Tech
  

  Since Palm has announced it will use Windows Mobile in an upcoming Treo, I’ve been trying to figure out what is going to happen to PalmOS. I’ve been having problems with my Tungsten, but I am not about to give up on PalmOS as I prefer it to Windows Mobile (I have a Dell Axim, [...]

• Introduction to HTML and XHTML (Part II)

  October 5th, 2005 | Tags: web design
  

  In HTML and XHTML Introduction Part I, we covered HTML files, elements and tags, and document structure. The article explains how to set up a basic HTML page, open and view the page, and add structure to the page. Part II takes a closer look at tags along with their attributes and values. The “invisible” covers [...]

• Web Site Mistakes

  October 3rd, 2005 | Tags: web design
  

  It’s unbelievable how many mistakes I’ve made with my Web site over the years that I’d never make when advising someone else about her Web site. There’s something about working on your own stuff that somehow causes your IQ to slip by at least 30 points. Here are a couple I’ve caught. *Logo centered instead of [...]

• Word Annoyances

  October 1st, 2005 |
  

  About half of the WindowsDevCenter.com: Top Ten Word Annoyances annoy me. You can get more from the sample chapter and get more tips from Annoyances Central. If Word is the source of all your stress and problems, then maybe it’s worth getting the book, which has received excellent reviews. I haven’t checked this one myself.
