Ken Leebow’s Site has Moved

I just received the Forbes magazine that features: Attack of the Blogs. I finally took the time to read the article. So, here’s my letter to the editor.

I know that you have been inundated by e-mails from the blogosphere. So, I suspect this one will never see the light of day, however, the two items that you seemed to omit: Most bloggers are 1> Experts in their field and 2> Passionate about their subject area. With those two elements, they provide a tremendous amount of valuable information to the masses. And, the information is free.

Kindest regards,

A long time ago, I thought technology was supposed to make life easier. Then I read this quote (Michael Levine) and it made a lot of sense: “We rarely simplify things, no matter how hard we try. Gadgets are fun, and they may perform tasks we find beneficial, but they don’t actually simplify our lives: they make our lives more complex.”

I still have not made the plunge into the flat-screen world. I’m thinking about it. The other day, I was listening to consumer guru Clark Howard. He was explaining all the alternatives available for big-screen TV. Wow, he had my head spinning.

Moral of the story: Business Week has a special section to assist in the mind-boggling world of purchasing a TV!

Well, at least for this week: You can get the online version of the Wall Street Journal for free.

Just a thought: While I pay for the online version of the Journal, I prefer the dead tree version. It’s a whole lot easier to read the paper than the online version.

I’m reading an ad for: Donald J. Trump’s signature clothing collection. The ad, of course, is a picture of him with his stern look and “interesting” hair-do.

It makes me think: When is a brand spread too thin? What’s next? Trump Hair Products?

Come on Donald, enough is enough. If you’re not careful, your ego is going to explode.

Wal*Mart states the facts. It also has a blog. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now that Dollar Bill has taken off his gloves, this revolution is going to get very exciting. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and a few others will make the next few years very interesting. The good news: “We the consumer will benefit from this battle-royal.”

The Wall Street Journal states: “Bill Gates’ radical reshaping of how Microsoft develops software and services in the face of competition from a new generation of Internet services.” Read all about it here:

A Wall Street Journal headline: “Any Big Revolution On the Net Will Be Televised by Microsoft”. And in the article: “The belief that in certain tech circles that the Internet is in the midst of a revolutionary shift. Hey, thankfully they didn’t say paradigm shift. I guess that term is Web 1.0.
