Artist’s Mouse or Gaming Mouse?

Is it a gaming mouse or an artist’s mouse? I guess that’s in the eye of the beholder!  The logic that led to my selection was that I needed something with precision. And if there’s any group of computer users that care about precision, … Read More

How To Choose The Right Android TV Box

How to choose the right Android TV box was a subject I spent about a week researching last Fall. At the outset, I was looking for something that wouldn’t take up a lot of space but in theory would have an OS that my … Read More

Keeping It Simple

Keep it Simple Stupid is far from an original mantra, but one I digested last night. If you haven’t noticed, I’m in the midst of revamping my little garrison of websites. They had all gone somewhat stale and my motivation to change that was … Read More

The Game Of Picking Winners And Losers

Facebook recently announced more changes to the already-involved algorithms that decide what users see in their news feed when they log in. When I read the news, I admit, I already foresaw a little of the impact that would come, i.e. ever-more-decreased reach for … Read More

When I stuck my head out of the rabbit hole today, I saw the news that there had been a major Flickr redesign. I was… lukewarm… at the news. Flickr… what can I say about Flickr? I’ve been a member since 2006, but I … Read More

Search Engines Should Reward Original Works

That search engines such as Google should reward original work is a thought that I’ve had in mind for awhile now. I’ve even brought it up to friends and on various discussion boards several times. But I never quite got around to blogging about … Read More

Houses of Cards

Time to Try something new! I test drove Facebook’s new Wordpress plugin and in the process learned how to set up a child theme, but there’s always more to learn isn’t here?… Read More

Formulas for Relevance

With great irony only a couple of days after my last post on Facebook’s new promote feature, I posted a new photo to my Facebook page and it wasn’t even relevant to me! Seriously, the only place my own post on my page appeared … Read More

Pinterest – More of the Same

Well, today Pinterest released their revised terms of service and while I’m glad to see they’ve removed the language about “selling” things that are pinned, but I never thought that was a real thing to begin with. How were they to know whether material … Read More

Facebook Interest Lists

Ah, it’s been entirely too long since I posted on my personal blog. Other things I could have posted about like the day spent un-hacking my photography site – so not cool. And I’m sure there are some other odds and ends, however, mostly … Read More

Pinterest on Pause

My last three posts are something of a roller coaster, but this will probably be my last on the subject of Pinterest for awhile. As I explained previously, I’m good with people sharing my work so long as it links back to me. After … Read More

Pinterest – Making Lemonade

Sometime around the fall last year, I started hearing waves about Pinterest. I had friends encouraging me to join and share some of my photography and just in general telling me how much they personally enjoyed the site. As someone active on social media, … Read More

The Facebook Fan Page Game

Ah, I should so be working on my gallery revamp. It’s scary how much time I’ve devoted to it, but here’s hoping eventually it’s a more of  a peek into my mind when people visit my online print gallery. The aim, after all, was … Read More

Mark Tisdale Has Arrived

It may sound vain, but when you’re trying to get the word out about your work online, every so often, you have to search for yourself just to see what’s appearing amongst the results. The other day sitting in the airport in Philly, I … Read More

Spotify is Annoying

I’ve tried to like Spotify, and I suppose as a service where I can listen to new music – i.e. try before buying, it works but beyond that I don’t understand what the fuss is all about. I find it about as user friendly … Read More

Duck Duck Go As A Verb?

I have no idea how many years I’ve been using Google as my default search engine. We’re certainly in the borderland of 10 years if not beyond. You know Google is dominant considering we use it as a verb these days, i.e. I don’t … Read More

The Twitter Effect

In case you were wondering, this is an excellent illustration of what I don’t like about Twitter and it’s cousin, Google Plus. If you’re wondering what you’re looking at, it’s not a piece of strange art but an anonymous screenshot for someone who uncircled … Read More

Care and Feeding for your Social Network

Wow, I watched F8 today and really look forward to playing more with the Timeline feature and seeing what’s possible with the new open graph. I like the idea that you can more than like media now, for instance, someone could look at one … Read More
