I login to my computer and one of the things my browser home page shows what happen today in history — Most days is just interesting stuff that requires no more than a glance…. Today’s was:

Rosetta Stone – was discovered on this day
Spanish Inquisition ended
US State of Georgia was readmitted int the Union
The famous designer, Versace died today.

And then as I go into twitter, I read something that REALLY changed the world…. (forget those other things)

On July 15, 2006, the San Francisco-based podcasting company Odeo officially releases Twttr—later changed to Twitter—its short messaging service (SMS) for groups, to the public. ( https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/twitter-launches )

It is now on my calendar… Happy Birthday Twitter! — ( You have truly changed the world!)

ByJorge Pereira 2012-01-042022-09-26

I just received an email (probably like many thousands others) letting me know of the release of WinZip 16. Such a GREAT product, it used to be a must have tool… My thoughts (mostly in order) as I glanced at the email: wow! v.16 that is a high number! Have I seen any other…

Outside My Comfort Zone: Going YouTube

ByJorge Pereira 2018-02-162023-07-19

Although I am pretty technical, write hundreds of words per week (work emails/proposals), spend many hours on telecons and speak to live audiences several times per week/month, podcasting, video blogging and video content has not been in my priority list until recently.
