I haven’t been pushed out a blog post in a while. Getting the momentum moving after a break is always tough, so I thought I would start back up with an easy post. A list of some of my favorite websites; news, resources, and humor.
- Some Ecards - not your typical ecards. They seem to have one for every occasion. Hillarious.
- Tech Crunch - great site to keep up on the latest and greatest tech news, specifically Start Ups. This is the first site I open each day. I enjoy the un-apologetic writing style.
- Tahoe Daily Tribune - home town news is important to follow. Its just too bad that the Tahoe Daily Tribune website sucks. Their new site is hard to use. the Mountain News needs to step up and embrace the web!
- Google yep, that google. I spend so much time on this site, thought I should include it.

This is the story of an epic battle between America’s mightiest corporation and a small group of “computer geeks” who created a revolutionary technology.
Search
In a few short years a new and unique way of finding information revolutionized the Web and in the process created one of the largest companies in the US; Google.
Bubble
In an astonishing journalistic coup, the founders of the Amazon and Ebay, Jeff Bezos and Pierre Omidyar, tell the story of how their business grew from nothing to dominate the global economy and profoundly change the way we live our lives.
People Power
This is the story of how the internet has changed society and how a new breed of entrepreneurs are shaping our digital futures. It all started with Napster; a way of swapping music that was dreamt up by the teenaged Shawn Fanning.
Update:
I was able to watch the first part of the 4 part series, Browser Wars. Being a self proclaimed technologist and history junkie, I was surprised how much I learned. I didn’t realize that Netscape Browser was on the market before Internet Explorer. After watching this I regained some of my old fear/hate for Microsoft, which as of recent, has been focused on google. I will am anxiously awaiting for my DVR to record the rest of the series.
