What Friends Do

I uncovered the What Friends Do website this morning as I was reading a local blog entry here in Indianapolis. The website reminds me of the CaringBridge website which I’ve talked about previously.

It appears that credit card thieves are getting a generous streak. Don’t be fooled though, it’s […]

New Version of PayPal in Beta

PayPal has been the de facto standard for online payment methods since I’ve been on the Internet and needed a way to pay people. Originally I used it for paying for items I’d won on eBay, but now I use it for payment of client invoices and even donations on some client websites.
