From the flyer, regarding the Seminar I’ll be conducting to help business owners, who are not technically enabled, to better understand what makes their business function: Understanding the Digital Landscape What is it? How do you find it? How do you use it effectively? Computers save us time in everything from information storage and retrieval, calculation, graphic design, and...

Isn’t it Ironic? Mac OS X Virus arrives
A sesimic shift in the PC word has just happened: A Mac OS X virus is here, coming in the form of a Java script off of social media. The irony? as I was removing a virus off a “real” PC this morning, my client indicated they might buy a Mac, so they...
We Infect Our Computers Ourselves
Didn’t bookmark it, but a few weeks back, I saw an article that said greater than 50% of computer infections were no user imposed. What does that mean exactly? It means the people who write and manage software are doing a pretty good job of staying ahead of the hacker crowd, but,we the users,...
Find a successful case study and…
Read it! Blogging. Not “fast food” like Twitter, not all social like FaceBook, but, as I’ve said in my seminars and coaching: “The Long Form.” Think through the IRS analogy: The 1040EZ gets the issue off your back, but you get more deductions on the 1040. More deductions, more money back, but...

And Where are Your Digits Going After You Die?
It’s not the same as “the good old days” any longer…and “we” still don’t like to talk about it. However, if you manage your financial and physical assets via electronic means, do you have a plan to make sure there aren’t problems for those left behind? Good question, isn’t it? Do you have a business that...
