For several months, I’ve been wanting to vent about what I see as the downfall of Facebook. Since I joined Facebook in the summer of 2007, it has evolved quite a bit. I was an early adopter and was impressed with the clean design, ease of use and LACK of clutter that was beginning to [...]

I finally downloaded and installed the new iPhone operating system yesterday. I have to say that I really like the improvements, particularly the new cut/copy/paste, landscape keyboard and full phone search functions. To commemorate the new tools, I thought I’d blog to http://scottstanzel.com from the iPhone – something I haven’t done in awhile.

After several interesting Twitter experiences and a spate of news stories about the micro-blogging service, I felt compelled to post again with an update. First, on the personal side, I’ve [...]

First of all, I recommend the column “The Outrage Kabuki” by Mark Steyn. He delves into the AIG mess and touches on President Obama’s teleprompter habit. Second, check out this piece by former RNC Chairman and President Bush 43 Counselor Ed Gillespie entitled “Media Realism.” In it, Ed looks at some of the disturbing trends [...]
