Mourning Paper
October 5, 2009 1:09 PM by Mark McGraw
Being 36 years old and a journalist, I have to acknowledge a soft spot for newspapers. I remember a time when the local weekly was really the only game in town when it came to delivering news, sports scores, political commentary and the ruminations of Read More...

Sorting Out Social Networking
July 21, 2009 8:26 AM by Mark McGraw
This is probably an unfair generalization. But for some of us over 30, it's been tempting to dismiss online social networking as the domain of teens and Millennials who hardly remember a time when they couldn't instantly share their every opinion, mood Read More...

Diagnosis: Difficult?
June 24, 2009 12:29 PM by Mark McGraw
Most Seinfeld fans certainly remember "The Package" episode, involving a subplot in which Elaine Benes is unable to find a doctor willing to treat her troublesome rash. Branded a "difficult" patient by her primary care physician, Benes scours New York Read More...

Cloudbusting
March 10, 2009 8:46 AM by Bob Mitchell
With your head in the cloud as you hear Kate Bush's ethereal voice singing Cloudbusting, her shrill voice is trailing off..."The sun's coming out..." We were sitting in an editorial planning meeting awhile back and the topic of cloud computing came up. Read More...

Post-Obama Campaigning
November 10, 2008 11:33 AM by Jim Boyle
I've held off commenting on the 2008 election since our own Frank Irving has done an outstanding job covering it. Now that it's over, however, I wanted to take a moment to remark on how historic President-elect Barack Obama's victory is, beyond the obvious Read More...

Get Out of My Facebook
July 29, 2008 10:43 AM by Bob Mitchell
I did it. I joined Facebook. The question now is how, as someone who covers health IT, am I going to use my social network in my everyday work? I'm not sure, but would welcome your suggestions. I'm struggling with grasping the value of social networks. Read More...

AI Meets Grand Theft Auto
May 20, 2008 9:09 AM by Bob Mitchell
The thought of interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) is chilling and one I have difficulty grasping. While I'm fascinated by the work of inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil and what he has to say about the role AI will play in our society, I'm Read More...

When The Chips Are Down (in size, but up in storage)
April 25, 2008 12:41 PM by Diana Olsen
My husband writes for a music Web site, so I was surprised when he informed me that he had just written a post about some very big (or should I say, very tiny) technology news that I had not seen on any of the usual tech sites I peruse. Researchers at Read More...

Do Doctors Today Know Less?
March 27, 2008 5:21 PM by Diana Olsen
By Diana Olsen Friedman Earlier this week, I went to happy hour with a few friends. While a Monday happy hour is not the norm for me (not since college, anyway), we were celebrating the recent graduation of two of our friends from the University of Pennsylvania Read More...

Too Many Features
March 20, 2008 11:00 AM by Jim Boyle
I'm always amazed by the various cell phone commercials that show off the many handy features other than voice communication. Music downloading, Web surfing, sports updates, text messaging, etc. They are all features that I never use, yet my consumer Read More...

Critical Mass
December 10, 2007 12:35 PM by Jim Boyle
I can sort of see the merit of Facebook's initial Beacon program, in a "capitalism, yay!" perspective. As ubiquitous as the Internet has become, it's still pretty difficult to turn a profit on the Web, minus a multi-billion sale to a major corporation. Read More...

We're Only Human
November 13, 2007 11:56 AM by Jim Boyle
My four year-old son recently discovered that we own a computer. In just a few short weeks, he has learned how to operate a mouse and play online games on his own. He’s so confident that once I set up the Web site, he orders me to leave so he can play Read More...
