A Crisis of Identity in the Digital Age

Hi, my name is Craig, and I create content. Between gabbing about industry trends, waxing political, songwriting and recording music, not to mention posting sporadic updates to my status on myriad social networking sites, I am out and about on the WWW.

What TweenBots Can Teach About Federating Tasks

iWant an iPhone

It's true. From the first murmurings on one of the varied Mac rumor sites to the day it was officially announced, my lizard-brain kicked in and put a check so firmly in the "I want" column that it blurred over the edges into "I need&qu more
