Ten Things You Might Not Know About Me
Since the only thing that people are talking about is Facebook’s privacy issue, or non-issue, for the past week, I have nothing to write about. Personally, the only reason I care about this Facebook debacle is because I can’t really find anything that interesting to write about involving tech. This is why I am going [...]

I Am Getting Paid To Do This Writing Thing (How Does It Impact You)
I know I have a handful of dedicated readers out there *waves* and I spose’ now is as good time as many to do the thing that for some reason most bloggers dread. Disclosures. You see, after nearly three years of blogging at random places (LostTheTech, TechGeist, TheNextWeb, Technorati… whatever), having an assortment of grammar [...]
Why Is It So Hard To Move From Gmail to Google Apps?
I have decided that I have invested enough of myself into this domain/blog that I am going to take a leap of faith and transfer my main means of communication from holdenpage@gmail.com to holdenpage@pagesaresocial.com. I thought this would be a quick and painless process. After all, I am still going to use Google Apps for [...]
Should I Quit?
I am sitting here writing this post, about four hours before my 9 hour shift, dreading the fact that most of my time is going to be spent straightening items and doing returns for most of the day, with the occasional elderly customer asking where the ironing boards are at.

Seems Like Y’all Like Getting a Bit More Personal!
This post is going to be short, simply because I have a lot of homework, and just got home from a very long speech meet. That aside, I am very grateful for the responses I have gotten from NUMEROUS people on the topic of releasing an aggregator for personal blogs based on Techmeme. Also, I would [...]
I Don’t Want to Make a Techmeme Competitor, But…
Techmeme is really good at one thing, discovering and ranking important breaking news fast. While I may at times bitch about Techmeme (as many others have) they are my first destination to find out the latest breaking news in the tech world, and obviously what Gabe Rivera is doing is working. Techmeme now has a [...]
Bigger Priorities, I Guess
I am actually very upset about this, and I really don’t want to do it, but my blogging and various social networking activities are going to have to be put on the back burner this week. Why? I am working a 30 hour week, two tests, another AP Psych exam for college credit, sections for [...]
