I have had my business checking account with Bank of America since I established PC Media back in 2000. But, now I am less than happy with the bank. They have increased their bank fees to a level that I think is just ridiculous.

This Chick Gets Around! - Stock Photography

It’s so funny. Being that I work online, I get around to a lot of different websites and am involved in a lot of things. And seeing as I am in the business, I can see what other people are doing and many times know exactly where they’re getting it from. Well, stock photography is [...]


Robert Steele – Open Source Answer to Everything?

Robert Steele was the keynote speech to kick off the first day of Gnomedex. He made a very interesting speech, although it was a lot more political than I was expecting. Essentially, he is a big believer in open everything, and he addressed a lot of our political problems to make [...]
