Soderling Wins Swedish Open
Happy to see Swede Robin Soderling back up his excellent runs at the French and Wimbledon (only getting stopped on both occasions by who else but Roger Federer!) by bagging his 4th career title on home soil at the Catella Swedish Open today. He’s been portrayed in the past as unsportsmanlike and rude, but whatever [...]
Twitter Doc Theft – Details Revealed: Step By Step To How It Was Done
TechCrunch posted a great step by step account this morning that details almost exactly how Frenchman Hacker Croll (HC) was able to steal over 300 sensitive Twitter corporate docs, as well as gain access to numerous online accounts of several Twitter employees.

The Mentality of Entitlement to “Free”
A recent post just over a week ago by Mike Arrington at TechCrunch entitled “What The Hell Happened To The Free Version Of Google Apps?” caught my attention, and not because I too use Google Apps’ free edition myself for several side projects.

Welcome to life as a “tennis parent”!
This past weekend one of my daughters (T., who’s 10 going on 11) participated in her first ever junior tennis tournament. Truth be told, I was probably (no make that definitely!) more nervous than she was! She was the picture of calm serenity both in the lead up to the day and on the day [...]
