Todd's Blog @OreillyNet.com I started a tech blog on technical book publisher O'Reilly & Associates' website. Click on the link to see what I'm rambling about over there.
Open Source in Government It may seem odd that a Microsoft-centric person like me is even remotely involved in Open Source activities. But economic circumstances (like a budget that dropped to zero) makes for strange bedfellows. I track Open Source in Government settings on this site.
Handheld PC and Pocket PC Newsgroups sponsored by Microsoft (requires an NNTP newsreader client like Outlook Express): When I was the MSN/ZDNet Forum Manager for the Communications & Messaging and Handheld Computers Forums, I discouraged e-mail questions to try to make sure people visited the Forums and make Microsoft and ZDNet happy. Now that I answer questions for free, I'm even more reluctant to answer questions sent via e-mail :-). So, if you have a Handheld PC or Pocket PC question, head over to the Microsoft newsgroups linked in the subject line. There are a bunch of friendly Microsoft MVPs (volunteers designated by Microsoft as Most Valuable Professionals) answering questions there. If I don't have the answer, one of the other MVPs probably can help you out. But, if you really want to send me e-mail, send it to Editor@TO-Tech.com (delete the NOSPAM if you clicked on the mail link).

...and a lot of other useful information about ultraportables there. Then head over to:

Computer Dinosaurs (History) Some friends and I were reminiscing about the good old days of computing a while back. So, I threw together this little page to collect some interesting computing history information.
Movie Ratings. Everybody's a critic. So, why should be any different? I created a little HanDBase applet/database soon after I discovered HanDBase for the Pocket PC in March 2001. This list reflects the various movies I've seen since then.
Open Source software list. I'm involved in a large project where I'm using a lot of Open Source software development tools. This list helps me keep track of Open Source related items.
Personal Finance Links A holdover from the good old days when an ordinary person could make money in the stock market :-)
KidsWare Programming This was another aspect of the KidsWare Forum concept. It was to have been a sub-area of the Forum focused on software programming tools developed specifically for children.
LEGO Information My favorite toy as a child and adult :-)
LEGO Mindstorms Information The Robotics Invention Kit has literally taken on a life of its own in the Lego world. There are around a half-dozen books about building and programming with this toy.
