Apple Magic Mouse Review
It's no secret I have formed a deep, passionate love for all things Apple over the past 6 months. After a 2 month learning curve getting used to the differences in operating systems, I am fully assimilated. Of course with Windows 7 now out, I'm much more likely to boot up in Windows once I get around to installing the new system. My latest love is the new Apple Magic Mouse.

My 9 Favorite WordPress Social Media Plugins
The Wordpress platform never ceases to amaze me. It's by far one of the greatest pieces of software ever built, and to think that it is free is the icing on the cake.

How I Increased My Twitter Following by 45% In One Week
I've been fascinated by the art and science of building a relevant network of Twitter followers in the past few months. Like I've written before, I didn't really spend a large amount of time with Twitter until May of this year. Since then, I've learned quite a bit.
