Do you know your neighborhood or city like the back of your hand? Maybe you know all the best pizza places in the city or all the hole-in-the-wall restaurants that you know people would love to eat at?
Whatever you reason, it would be cool to create your own online maps that you can then share and monetize for free, right? Or maybe you have a website and you want to create an online map and then embed it in your blog?

Posted on October 16, 2009 at 5:41 am
Need to plan an event with a group of friends who live all over the country or all over the world? Maybe a baby shower or a vacation to Mexico? A good way to plan these type of events is to use event management software instead of email.
Previously, I had written about a service called ActiveCiti that lets you create and manage events online. It’s a good service, but I always keep an eye out for new services that do the same thing better.

I recently got an iPhone 3GS and I can’t stop watching TV shows and movies on it! It’s just plain addicting. Now when I say watching TV on the iPhone, it means either watching live TV or watching pre-recorded stuff.

Even with the advent of the My Documents folder, people still love to put file on their desktop because, well, they are easy to find. You turn on your computer, and they are right there in front of you.

Fix “\\computer is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource”
Posted on October 12, 2009 at 5:42 am
I’ve previously written an article on how to network two computers together that are running Windows XP. I’ve also written about a cool program called WiPeer that lets you connect two computers wirelessly and share data!
However, I’ve never really written a troubleshooting guide for file sharing or networking two computers. Unfortunately, Windows can be finicky and even though you may think everything should work, accessing a share on another computer may not work.
