Co-Founder and President of Palaestra Training which creates kick-ass IT Certification Training videos. This is my personal blog, where I\'ll talk about things that interest me dealing with technology, gadgets, or whatever I find interesting.
If you installed Windows XP SP3, thinking you’ll be ahead of the curve and check out the new features, enhanced security, etc., I’m right there with you. I like to be up on things as much as possible, and Release Candidates certainly don’t scare me away. I routinely run them on production boxes, and have [...]
Selling digital products on ClickBank is a great way to earn extra income, and link up with affiliates from all over the Internet. When you first set up your account and create your sales page and thank you page, there really isn’t any security built in to keep people from trying to figure out your [...]
I came across a video of Stephen Wiltshire, a London artist who is an absolutely amazing artist. He’s able to look at something once, and draw it in amazing detail days later. In this video, he’s taken up in a helicopter over the City of Rome and given a 45-minute aerial tour of the city. [...]
I recently was playing around with Windows XP SP3 (build 3264) and I slipstreamed the service pack into my Windows XP install media to make installing a new build easier (SP3 would already be installed). Normally, it’s a pretty straightforward process, however with SP3 (at least the RC build I was using) didn’t take HD [...]
Having three children, my wife and I named our children months ahead of time to (with names picked out if they were a boy or girl) and I never really gave much thought to how difficult a task that could be. We have a few sets of friends who are a few years behind us [...]

Many of the services and features included in Windows Server 2008 will be able [...]
A friend recently sent me a link to a movie called ZeitGeist, which is a very interesting analysis of everything from the origins of religion to the 9/11 attacks, to everyone eventually being v-chipped with RFID tags to track everything from movement to spending habits. I have mixed feelings about the contents of the video, [...]

Palaestra Training recently added some great information on CompTIA A+ Certification Training, studying for the exams and what to expect when you take the exam. For some people, the CompTIA A+ exam is their very first experience taking a certification exam, so it’s important to understand the process, how to register and what to expect [...]
I’ve been online since I was an early teenager back in the early to mid 80′s, running Bulletin Boards (BBS) years before the Internet. I was on Prodigy and CompuServe years before most of my friends had even heard of the Internet. Once the Internet became mainstream, I became involved in web design and really [...]
