This Is Not The Article You Are Looking For

I've not updated here in a month, and what a month it has been!

I haven't had time to work on all the things I've wanted to, and even when time does grant me those precious few moments, I've spent them doing other things as a means to unwind. As I write this, I'm going through my Google Docs (soon to be G-Drive perhaps?) and I'm looking for any unpublished works that I can throw up here. I don't think I'm going to do that though as I'd like to do something fresh.

Unfortunately, I haven't had much of a response to anything I've put up on here. I was hoping that as I wrote more that people might show interest and give me some direction. Despite the geeky name, I wanted to make this blog more for the average user and less for those of us who can count in the Binary number system but can't remember our anniversaries or important birthdays. (That's why we wrote that script to remind us, right?)

I've never wanted to try and draw a line in the sand between "Average User" and "Power User", but it's obviously there. Unlike some other techs I've worked with, I don't look down upon the "Average User". I respect all that they can do that I cannot and I hope that I can impart some knowledge into their computing activities. Nothing drives me more crazy than seeing an "Average User" either too afraid to make the most of their computers, or not have enough fear to know what they ought not do. We're not all that different from each other, it's just that we know different things.

So this is a call out to anyone out there listening. What do you want to know about? How have my articles been? Do I need to find better ways to explain things?

I've always had a running list in my head of topics to write about, so I'll outline them here real quick.

  • Home Networking
  • Home Network Security
  • Computer Entertainment Systems
  • How To Choose a Mobile Device
  • WiFi: What You Should Know
  • Are You Anti-Social Media?
This is in no way a chronological list, nor is it definite. I look forward to commentary if possible. :)
