I Heart Media Temple

You know what top notch service, support and answering your phones in under 30 secs (the three times I called) gets you?
A huge smile on my face, a post on my blog and me telling all my friends about your company.
Media Temple kids are rock stars. Seriously. I'm sure Seth Godin is beaming somewhere.
I have [...]

Dear Real Estate 2.0, We Need Better “Recently Sold” Data

Real estate 2.0 is right up my alley. Check my "About" page for why.
Btw: Sorry to everyone out there who feels like throwing up everytime they hear "2.0" put after a word. If there was a better, more understood term I would use it. Trust me.
Ok, so I've been using sites like Trulia and Zillow [...]

Welcome Asus Eee To Low-Cost Laptop Space

The low-cost laptop space keeps getting more and more interesting.
Today, Engadget posted on Asus' future plans for their low-cost laptop brand called Eee.

The low-cost laptop space is getting so [...]

Lesson From Northwestern Utility Billing Service

Yes, I'm a renter.
My apartment complex has good management and my neighbors seem friendly. However, my friendly neighbors do have a problem with crashing into my parked car.

Hey everyone, maybe you noticed that BUZZYEAH's left sidebar looks a little cleaner today. Or not. I guess it's your opinion. Let me know in the comments.
Why does it need a guide?
It doesn't.
But, I was bored and did some user-interface tweaking and added a few new things. And, I think that gives me an excuse [...]

My OpenCongress: Facebook For Congress Nerds

Update: Near the bottom of this post I suggest that OpenCongress and Facebook should find ways to better integrate since the results could be socially powerful (plus, I can only be a part of so many social networks).
Well, good news!
David Moore over at OpenCongress' blog says, "... Andrew, yes definitely, we look [...]

Mike Murtaugh’s Comment on Tata’s Nano

Last week I posted on Tata's new $2500 car called the Nano. It is the cheapest car ever built and Tata is aiming it at the developing nation market.
Near the bottom of the post, I said that I had messaged my friend Mike Murtaugh who is currently working in Delhi to leave a comment on [...]

How To Watch Live Streaming NBA Games Online

I've been trying to watch live streaming NBA games online for a while now. Yesterday, I posted that ESPN360 won't let me watch their live streaming NBA games since my Internet provider Comcast won't pay ESPN to let its customers access the site.
I think that ESPN is making an un-savvy business move but they can [...]

ESPN Can Give Me Streaming NBA Games, But Comcast Says No?! (Update: ESPN Says No)

For the eager beavers, here is the question at the bottom of my post: Who needs to get paid before I can stream NBA games, Comcast or ESPN???
Somebody won't let me watch live games from the system ESPN already has in place. So who is it? (Update: It's definitely ESPN! New question below.)
Ok, now [...]
