A Daily Dose of Tech
It’s a fact: over time, things grow, and expand. The Internet itself is constantly growing, and every day thousands of new websites, blogs, and ‘online services’ appear.
I find it hard to keep up! (As, other things that are constantly growing are my business and my To Do List..) I simply do not have the time to explore them all.. and I bet you don’t either. (As a matter of fact, they say over 1,000 new ‘tech blogs’ are created each month. That’s the kind of market I am in!)
Fortunately, I know a guy.
That “guy” is Rick Robinette, and for over two years now his What’s On My PC… website has been a daily read of mine — one of the half dozen (or less) remaining “daily reads”. I cannot say enough nice things about him; but the reason I am mentioning him to you, Dear Reader, is — he is reporting on the new ‘cloud computing’ developments as they happen, and bringing us the best of this new stuff. As you can see from his list of ‘pages’, below. (With a strong emphasis on free.. which I like!)
His writing is friendly, relaxed, fun, and yes, educational. He enjoys exploring fun and useful small utilities like desktop clocks and weather reports and sticky notes. For proof, here’s a few recent What’s On My PC… articles:
- How did I miss out on the Google Chrome Web Store?
- An Awesome Web-Based Sticky Notes Service
- Calculate More with the Windows 7 Calculator
- FREE On-Demand Music, Internet Radio and MORE!
- Humor: My Blackberry Is Not Working
- NEW: Play Up to 1GB Video Files in Google Docs
- FREE Software to Organize and Cheer Up Your Desktop
- Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows XP, Vista and 7
- Get Live Audio Feeds of Police, Fire and EMS On Your Computer
If you are at all interested in free software, useful tips, and/or want to get a feel for this “cloud computing”.. well, now you ‘know a guy’ too. Visit http://whatsonmypc.wordpress.com and find out why I cannot say enough good things about this great online resource.
I am pretty sure that if you do, Rick will become one of your “must reads” too!

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

Rick,
You are a good man, Charlie Brown, and it is both my pleasure and privileged to try to spread the word about your online efforts, and that “undiscovered gem on the Internet” website of yours.
I have been doing this (being a Geek) for a very long while, and I have always been a reader (watched a lot of tech publications come and go). I believe I can – after all these years – separate the wheat from the chaff.
I consider your work a public service. Fun as well as informative.
It’s that simple.
I hope you will be writing articles for many, many years to come.

It’s very hard to keep up with tech change even if you are in the field. I rely on you and all of your friends for this kind of input. Invaluable.
