So, hopefully everyone has recovered from Google induced heart attack by now. Luckily the entire Internet wasn’t actually completely consumed by some form of Malware, there was just a glitch in Google’s malware detection system.
With that said, I have decided to attempt to start writing on here again. While I am still enrolled full-time in [...]

I dont know if anyone else has noticed this, but as of 9:50AM EST, Google’s harmful site detection seems to be on the fritz.  As you will see in the attached photo, every single search result appears to be a “harmful site”.  Not only is Google showing this “harmful site” link on the search page, [...]

It’s finally the big day, November 4th, 2008.  Election Day!  Personally, I have already voted (using an absentee ballot); but if you haven’t I suggest that you get out and do it.  It’s really not that difficult, and now thanks to Google you can’t use the excuse that you do not know where to vote.

Here’s an interesting piece of information that I was made aware today; apparently if you enter the equation “=850*77.1″ into Excel 2007, you will not be given the correct answer of 65,535 but instead, a completely ridiculous answer of 100,000.  Seeing as there are plenty of people and organizations that use Excel on a daily basis [...]

   

Tell All Your Friends With Facebook Flyers

While browsing through Facebook this evening, I noticed a feature that has been around for a while now, but has recently been revamped.  Facebook Flyers.  Having a strong interest in online advertising methods, I was drawn to this and did a little further investigation.  Facebook, through their new platform “Flyers Pro”, allows its users to [...]
