Hello dotTechies, UPDATE: This appears to have been fixed now by Feedly. I have just been notified that, for some reason, dotTechies subscribed to dotTech via Feedly have been seeing an image of a semi-naked women next to some pos...
In today’s world of Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, social media (also referred to as social networking) is commonplace to even the youngest among us (well, maybe not for the older generations). Last week we saw a comic of ...
How many dotTechies have lived, or live, in an area that receives regular snow? If you have, or do, then you probably have played in the snow… including pelting others (friends, family, neighbors, the ice cream truck, etc.) ...
Ever heard the saying “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”? Yeah, well, I believe it was invented (for the lack of a better word) for situations like this one. A guy broke up with this girlfriend one night. He went...
One time in high school (not sure exactly the year), a girl brought in a photo album of herself (not sure why). In the photo album she had sticky notes over her face in pretty much all the photos. Why? I really don’t know. I...
Aside from the cake that has fruits inside (why ruin a tasty cake by putting fruit in it?!), I like cake. I really like cake — chocolate, vanilla, ice cream, etc. However, as much as I like cake, there is no bloody way I wou...

The justification behind Google’s browser-based Chrome OS is that out of all the things people do on the computer, most of it is on the Internet. I don’t know about everyone else, but it is true; most (99.999999999%) o...
I am too young to have ever used a typewriter. However, I have seen plenty of typewriters in action courtesy Hollywood (I know, I know — not the same). One thing in particular I have noticed about typewriters is how the typi...
Not so long ago in one of my science classes in college, we were talking about cleavage of rocks and the professor remarked some geologists have a sense of humor. (If you don’t get the joke, you are too young.) As we have se...
Most of us dislike having toolbars in our browsers because they are annoying; not only do they tend to hijack our homepages, but they use up a lot of screen real estate, making it more difficult to surf the web… especially i...
I am sure we have all done stupid, mean, or generally disliked things to other people (knowingly or unknowingly). I am also sure many of us have been told that karma will come to bite us in the future if we don’t stop being ...
We have already seen one remarkable man who tickles lions. Now let’s take it one step further and meet the man the lives, feeds, and sleeps with lions. Kevin Richardson, also known as the ‘Lion Whisperer’, is a S...
When it comes to resumes, it seems like everyone has some advice to give. Do this, don’t do that, put this in, don’t put that in, etc. Instead of listening to all the armchair critics, Philippe Dubost decided to do som...
How many dotTechies spend multiple hours each day on the computer? I know I do, and sadly enough I am no longer ashamed of the fact either. This excess screen time has different affects on different people. Some people handle it g...
