Call me crazy, but I’ve never used Google Wallet and didn’t know it existed. That period of time lasted until today when I received an email from Google letting me know that Google Checko...

My friend Paul only invited me to Google+ about two hours ago, but the rapid rate of notifications from it (even at midnight) is already sparking many thoughts for me. The days are long gone when we ...

I haven’t posted here recently because I’ve been very busy. Not much has happened to post about besides the big Facebook hoopla over privacy concerns. I thought it about it so much I coul...
