If you live in a typical U.S. home, your appliances and home electronics are responsible for about 20 percent of your energy useage, says the U.S. Department of energy.

The new Nike+iPod Sport Kit has made it harder to find an excuse not to exercise. Below is my NBC-TV video review.

I have two you-gotta-see-this! items to share with you as submitted by my always eagle-eyed Web scouts.
First, the talent. Bernie Buchta caught this You Tube video that is so amazing I’m sure that - even if you saw it the first time on TV - you’ll not only watch several times but call everyone nearby […]

Sure looks that way after XM Satellite Radio posted its latest results.

It works with Foxcloud, a free ftp service. It synchronzes Firefox bookmarks across all of your computers, no matter what platform they use.
I’m running it on […]

First it was blogs… then podcasts… then social networking. These days, the hottest thing on the Internet is Video Sharing. And sometimes… make that oftentimes… it's pretty bizarre.
For example, have you seen what happens when you put Mentos candy in a bottle of diet coke. On the video sharing site Your Tube, there are dozens […]

When you are the President of the United States, there really is no such thing as a private conversation, as George Bush learned Monday morning at the G8 Conference. He was talking to Tony Blair about the violence in the Middle East and let loose an “S” word that was only too clearly picked up […]

With all the media talk about online governmental spying lately, a similar alarming issue involving private industry is starting to get some online traction.
