    All things must end sometime started by robertnelson
    I have tossed and turned with this site for longer than I care to admit. It originally began as a need when I was podcasting, during that time I also fell in love with blogging, which eventually turned into a full-time job for me. That is the good news, of course that meant little if [...]
    A successful Tampa Bloggers Dinner started by robertnelson
    Well, successful by my standards at least, hopefully others felt the same way. Of course with being married and having two young kids its not often that I get to venture out, especially without the company of young children and after dark. So not only being around other web geeks, but in a grown up […]

    With my renewed effort to not only keep this site going, but also growing I have added a new way to subscribe to the content. While I know that most who read and follow along are getting it via an RSS feed, I also wanted to have the option to subscribe by email as well.

    Another fine Clermont Triathlon started by robertnelson
    Just thought I would share a few pics from my recent triathlon, which was race #3 from the Central Florida Triathlon Series on August 17. Overall my individual event times were up and down from race #2, but overall I managed to shave some time, which was nice.
    Me exiting the swim, which was at 7:40, […]
    invisibleSHIELD protection, highly worth the cost started by robertnelson
    While the cost is minimal, the protection that is offered is, well, priceless. In addition they also offer a lifetime warranty.

    I have been using the invisibleSHIELD to protect my current iPhone display for a long time now, and have used them in the past on various iPod’s as well. They are pretty simple to apply, […]
    Cleaning out the office, here are the items that need to go… started by robertnelson
    In preparation for an upcoming move I have begin the dreaded task of cleaning out stuff that I have and do not need or simply do not use.

    The rules are simple, first come first to get. I am not setting any prices on these items because I am not looking to really make money. […]
    When I am not being a geek… started by robertnelson
    I still enjoy torturing my body a bit.

    Here are a few pics from my recent triathlon. These were taken at race #2 from the Central Florida Triathlon Series on July 20.
    Race #3 is coming up next month on August 17, and I hope to take off about 4 minutes from my time, which would […]
    My home office video tour started by robertnelson
    Not much to really write about, I find these office tours are much better if done with video. This particular video was shot using a Flip video, so I apologize in advance for any lack of quality. If you have any questions or comments about my setup, post away below. In the meantime I hope […]
    Problogger status achieved, but is it worth it started by robertnelson
    Honesty disclaimer: I think that was the most difficult post that I have written to date, and it really has me struggling with what is right and wrong. It also has me worried what may happen should I push this dream to far.

    I have dreamed, worked and achieved my goal. I am now living 100% […]
    I bought a Zune, suddenly DRM (or lack of) becomes important started by robertnelson
    I have recently purchased a Microsoft Zune and since then have really enjoyed using it. It has also taught me something very important, something that should have been obvious, yet is never bothered me before.

    DRM is bad and possibly even evil.

    I currently have (and use) an iPhone and iPod Shuffle on a regular basis, […]
    Order your PayPal Security Key now! started by robertnelson
    For those that use PayPal often this should be a must have. Protect your information, many people now have credit and banking information listed in their PayPal accounts. Make sure other people cannot access your account.

    I have and use similar tokens on a daily basis for work. They make a great addition to security […]
    My daily use programs started by robertnelson
    Being self-employed and working from home, I have the good fortune of using and running whatever programs I feel that I need or want to use or even just try out. While there are tons of programs installed on my Mac, everything from apps used to rip (MacTheRipper), strip (DVD2oneX) and burn DVD’s (Toast) to […]

    Updated blog theme, Disqus comments added started by robertnelson
    So I have been wanting to do a blog theme update for a long time now, but I was using a wide theme that allowed me to use images 500 wide and larger without affecting the sidebar. This was causing an issue with choosing a new theme, as most will allow for 425 wide or […]
