Stuff
I've Written

For almost four years I've written a column called Net Nerds for PC Alamode Magazine, the award-winning 64-page monthly sent to the 4,200 members of Alamo PC Organization, Inc. The premise behind the column is that most people aren't interested in the technical stuff about the Internet but rather want to know what the heck they can do once they get there. Each month I tackle a different topic, from gambling to genealogy. The past columns are online at the Alamo PC website.

In August of 1998 I started a new column for the PC Alamode, Computer Crimes. Each month I review two or three mystery novels or thrillers that have a strong computer theme. It's heaven to be able to indulge in light reading and chalk it off to work. Surprisingly, I've learned a lot about computers, too. These are online at Alamo PC as well.

I sometimes write feature articles about computer topics.

• My December, 1998 article on Digital Cameras also had a sidebar on camera resolution.

• I went a little ape for the October Internet edition and published articles on:
  • Keeping Kids Safe on the Net
  • Questions to ask a Prospective ISP
  • Passwords and user IDs and
  • Service, Systems, Software and Sites

  I was more restrained in the April, 1998 Internet edition, publishing:

  • Copyrights and Copy-Wrongs and
  • Twists on E-mail

• My Guide to Boolean Logic was cited in Yahoo's Internet Life. Oooohhhh!

Finally, I love doing software and book reviews. I've written dozens, but here's a few:
