in Protecting our children online: What software do you use? on Dad-O-matic
+1 on OpenDNS.com. It's what I use, too, though integration with Apple's Time Capsule leaves a bit to be desired. (ages: 4 & 7)

in Gift Ideas and Travel Tips from Dads on Dad-O-matic
I travel a bit every month and only rarely bring stuff back. And then it's only when I get free conference swag. The boys love little notebooks and pens, and other goofy conference giveaways. I like Mocha Dad's note about overseas travel and relevant local culture stuff, though.

I can't imagine bringing something back every time. We've already got too much stuff!

in Why it takes me so long to add Twitter Friends on New Comm Biz
Speaking of Twitter friends, I landed here 'cause of Justin Foster...

That friends request graphic is insane. I've got friend notifications turned off. I just add people I find interesting at the moment, and I'm liberal with the "leave" command.

I do a lot of the same tactics for managing the Twitterstorm, and we agree on FriendFeed as a Twitter accessory. The other vital part of my filter strategy is dropping my Twitter friends timeline into my feed reader. Makes it easy to scan and see what I might've missed. It's only occasionally fruitful, though, so scanning is the key word here. :-)

FriendFeed has a RSS feed, too, but it's rolled up and not as easy to scan.

in For a laugh on Roger Kondrat - Online Communicator
That's pretty funny! This is actually the first time I've seen this widget work for Slacker Manager. It's always shown up as zero before...they must've taken the stopper out of the bathtub or something...

Yeah, leaving is kinda weird, huh? Sounds like you've got a great new adventure ahead, though!
