My writers group has been passing emails back and forth today re: Apple’s new iBook EULA. I know this is also a hot topic across the ‘Net today, so I wanted to share with everyone what I sent to the writers group. – I would put forth that EULA’s are, for the most part,...

So, one of the things that has always bothered me about WordPress is the Site Stats plugin. I understand Akismet and why it links off to a 3rd party database filled with spam fighting stuff, but why must Site Stats? I mean, it’s data about MY site, right? Why not simply track that internally?...
The smallest things can sometimes turn us off. At least, that’s what I have always found. Take Borders, for example. They announced today they are closing 200 stores costing them $2million a week. These unprofitable locations are spread out across the U.S. and the long reaching effects on the publishing industry won’t be known...
I’m looking at making some changes around here. Websites Among the changes I am working on is a change to my websites. Chiefly, atfmb.com and FunctionalNerds.com.

Actually spent a little time this evening going through my Google Reader and looking for interesting things to share. Technology / Science News Google’s Nexus One phone sparks flood of complaints. Just eight days after Google opened its online store to sell the new Nexus One smartphone directly to customers, its support forums have...
Another quick round up of stuff I found interesting on the web today. Galactic Hookup Spawns Celestial Offspring comes from Wired (but it’s all over the web).
