Review of Feedburner by Aaron Brazell

Feedburner RSS ATOM Web Feed If you’ve been interested in how well Feedburner handles serving feeds, you may be interested in Aaron Brazell’s review.

His perspective in this review, is from the point of view of a blog network – b5media – which pumps several dozen feeds through the service.  Because of the number and variety of feeds, the needs are unique, there are some items on his “wish list” that just don’t apply to individual bloggers.

Goods stuff Aaron!

A year of Personal Brand

About a year ago I ran across a post by David Lorenzo, author of the book Career Intensity.  The post was called Managing Your Personal Brand, and it started me thinking differently about how I presented myself to others.  There were other posts from a number of great people on the web that added to this (simply Google Personal Brand), and expanded the concept as well.

So here a year later, I’ve been practicing this philosophy to good effect.  I’ve been happy with the results that I’ve achieved over the past year, and was reminded of the post today as he linked back to the original.

Good read if you’re interested in personal improvement.

Can a Windows user survive without Windows?

fedora core linux Alright, its that time of year again when I start wondering if I can make Linux box my main computer.  I’m going to try just that for the month of December, use Fedora Core 6 as my main OS, and try to stick to using all web-based tools for the majority of my needs.

I’ll admit to everyone right up front, I will keep my desktop system on Windows XP with Office 2003, mainly because I occasionally need Photoshop, Visio, and one or two other unique apps.  But I’ll try to do as much natively in Linux as possible.

I’ve a favor to those of you who are interested – can you give me suggestions on the following?  I’m looking for these tools on Linux to help ease my December sojourn into Linux.

  1. Blogging tool, similar to Windows Live Writer or w.Bloggar
  2. Graphics tool in place of Photoshop (yes I’ll be giving Gimp a go [again])
  3. Screen capture tool similar to Techsmith Snagit
  4. <more to come>

Any comments, suggestions, jeers or cheers can go in the comments.  I’ll be backing up my data from my Vista laptop, wiping the HDD, and installing FC6 this week.

Zune: What the public chooses to see

I have to agree with Thatedeguy, the Zune is a great first outing for Microsoft in the portable music player field.  Its greatest failing is that its a Microsoft product, and that it is competing against an entrenched favorite in the market.

In his analysis, Thatedeguy points out how the mainstream media picks the device apart, and does not seem to give it a fair play.  Gadget gurus on the other hand, have reviewed the device, software, functionality and have found it to be a worthy competitor.
