In this digital age, we can do almost anything by computer, virtually, and dieting or good nutrition is no exception. No, you won't lose weight by hanging out on the computer, but there are really good resources available online. Digital dieting is quite possible, and you can lose weight sort of virtually. It's pretty typical for baby boomers to be nutritionally reborn. We wake up one morning, suddenly aware of our own mortality, and decide to change our ways. You'd be surprised how often that works. We're now old enough and wise enough to understand why healthy living is necessary. I...

Being a PC person, I don't often delve into MAC stories but this is news. For the first time, the latest OS operating system, SnowLeopard, will, say the pundits, include anti-virus software, and it was bound to happen. SnowLeopard is due out any day now (officially Aug 28) at $29 for the upgrade (you listening, Microsoft?) - and the world is waiting with baited breath - or at least the MAC fans are. Most of us don't want to shell out the bucks attached to the price points of MAC stuff. The systems, that is PC and MAC, are getting closer...

This may be the coolest iPod app I've ever seen. GoPostal is a service app for iPhones that allows you to snap a photo, compose your own custom message, and send a postcard from your phone or computer. It's dirt cheap and more fun than summer craft camp. Made by a company called Print Your Life the app can be accessed at their website (click on Design a postcard from your computer). You can create an account or be a guest. The process takes seconds and the resulting postcard is not an e-card, it's mailed through the post office. Cost of...

Google just deployed a test version of their new search engine, known as Caffeine. You can play around with Caffeine in the Google sandbox, a popular test area on Google's website. Web moguls are saying this may be the end of keyword obsession in web development since the new search function is supposed to be smarter. If you have a website or blog, you might be interested in an article I did on one of my own sites about keywords and why they aren't as hot as one might think. Anyway, I worked with the new Google Caffeine and found differences between...

No matter how images were captured in the 1960s, a wealth of memories is preserved in the images of the hippy era, the Viet Nam era, the Beatles era.The decade of the 1960s is when photo-journalism and videography came alive. America watched a war from our living rooms, of course, but we also saw images that characterized the unrest and feelings of rebellion sweeping the nation. Sometimes, those photos were manipulated (in the dark room) to be more like how the photographer felt. Sometimes, they were staged. Take a few minutes to savor this photo essay from the photo guy...

About six weeks ago, America went digital with television, as we all are aware. How are we doing with the conversion process? Contrary to the dire predictions that tens of thousands of kids would never see Sesame Street again and seniors (that would be us baby boomers...) would never find out where the people of Lost are actually lost, the DTV, digital television, conversion is going pretty well and the over 55 baby boomer group gets the best report card. Gearlog says only about 1.1 percent of the U.S. population is behind the eightball, so to speak, which means 98.9 percent...

Looks like the next cool thing is going to be solar powered home theater. Richard Glikes, ultra tech guru and exec director at Home Theater Specialists of America (HTSA) is all over the Internet with his favorite green living home technology. The state-of-the-tech system is powered with solar energy provided by roof-mounted panels that produce, in sunshine, 700 watts of power per hour. Engadget says it should run things for nearly a full day without help from the traditional power grid. Electronic House magazine online reports it a little differently, saying the panels will provide 19 hours of viewing pleasure per...
