Now you can locate your (Android) phone simply by typing “find my phone” into the main Google search page. If you find that it’s nearby you can also make it ring to help locate it. … Read more
A client of mine recently forwarded me an email that they had received from Getty Images. It said, essentially, “you used one of our images on your website and now you have to pay us for it.” Getty is known for being especially aggressive in pursuing these claims and in this case the cost of using a small, not very interesting image was around $500.
So, how do you find images to use on your website, assuming that you don’t have a photographer on staff? Here are some options.
Tuolumne General Hospital opened its doors in 1849, serving miners in the gold fields of California. By some accounts, the town of Sonora – now the county seat – was founded to address the miners’ urgent need for health care. TGH had six different homes over the years, from the canvas tent in which it began, to its final location in a three story brick building close to downtown Sonora. However, after over one hundred and fifty years of service, the hospital itself was dying. In 2007, with competition from a new medical facility across town and years of multi-million dollar budget deficits, the Board of Supervisors voted to shut the hospital down.

First it was Google Apps for Domains, then Google Apps for Business (or sometimes for Enterprise) and now Google has again re-branded its fee based service for business use of Gmail, Calendar, Drive and Hangouts.
We often create shared folders to exchange files with our clients, using Google Drive. Once these are set up they are very helpful but the process can also be somewhat confusing. Here’s a short video and screencast that we hope will help.
I just listened to Marc Maron’s interview with Monty Hall, of Let’s Make A Deal fame. Whatever you think of Marc Maron’s comedy (I’m a fan), he’s a great interviewer and his talks with elder comedy statesmen such as Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and Dick Van Dyke are not to be missed.
Monty Hall told this story of his time in the early 50s as a struggling radio and television performer. He was living in Toronto with his wife and two children and making regular trips to New York City to try and find more and better work. Each time he went to New York he would try and meet with as many network TV and radio producers as possible but was having very little success.
You’re not crazy if you talk to yourself, you’re only crazy if you answer. Anonymous Google has quietly released the first version of their Conversational Search tool, in the latest version of Google Chrome. It’s been referred to as the “Star Trek Computer” and it’s easy to see it as a game changer. I made … Read more
