Like the famous childrens book "Give A Mouse A Cookie..." by Laura Joffe Numeroff and Illustrator Felicia Bond, "cookies" are often used by advertisers and Web analytic firms on most all web sites.

A hundred years ago, Willis Carrier received a patent for a system to cool the air inside a building and control its humidity at the same time. It was the first modern air-conditioner.

In my last blog post, I mentioned that I would be giving my talk at "The New New Internet, Web 2.0 Accelerator" while wearing a gorilla costume.

I'm a bit of a photo wonk. It probably started when I was about 12 or 13 with my first roll-film twin-lens reflex camera. You know, the kind that you look DOWN into the viewfinder. I remember a visit to Maryland with my little camera and hanging out with Marty Torre in his darkroom. The magic [...]

Does CoolSW Differentiate Between Spam and Spamming?
