I have recently been reviewing caregivers in Southern New Jersey. (Why is another post entirely). This can be difficult process for most people. Typically people are looking for a care givers for their parents who might not be as mobile as they once were. This makes the selection process even more difficult.

The impending demise of Tower Records – the deep catalog retailer in the record industry has gotten me thinking about what role record labels themselves will play in the iTunes direct to consumer download world. Many people are predicting the death of the record label in the iTunes world. However such predictions (like the predictions of the digital jukebox in the sky with every song made.

I have been watching the right side of the blogosphere with a great deal of amusement and not a little bit of anger over the ad Michael J. Fox has done for Claire McCaskill in Missouri.

A lot has been written about the sudden torrent of spam blogs (splogs), I think the problem is not nearly so bad as some people make it out to be. First off any free hosting service is going to serve as a vector for this sort of content. Everyone seems to blame Google and Blogspot which hardly seems appropriate.
