FDA Issues Social Media Policy (false)
Wouldn’t it be great to hear, the FDA issues a social media policy. Though the FDA loves to plan to discuss, to plan to create, to plan to someday maybe act on planning a social media policy and guideline for use by those whose jobs and businesses rely on the FDA’s approval and clearance, the FDA has remained, like much of our government, indecisive.
Currently, the FDA’s site likes to direct ...

Why CMS won’t replace your Web Personnel
/rant on
Somewhere out in marketing land someone has been trying to sell people on the idea that installing a CMS, such as Wordpress or Drupal, will somehow make all your Webmaster or Web Designer needs go away. If you’ve believed this, I’m sorry to tell you, but unless your site is just text, you’re probably wrong.

A Look at Web Certifications
I recently became curious about web certifications. What kinds are available and how much did they cost? I found three candidates online and the following compares w3cSchools.com, WebProfessionals.org and CIWCertifies.com certification information and process.
Before we get started it’s worth noting that my initial search started with taking a look at Comptia’s Server+ and Network+ exam overviews. While both seem to cover a great deal of information, they both are geared ...

Chromebook Review
I had my first experience with Google’s new Chromebook this weekend. At first glance the boxy gray plastic unit looked like it would feel heavy, though it was surprisingly light. The keyboard and screen felt a bit clunky to me; the same way the old heavy ThinkPad’s felt to me in early 2000.
Pressing the Chromebook’s power button instantly turned the machine on and I was almost immediately within the Chrome ...
