If you are looking for my posts on using technology for training, I have started posting them there with training for marathons.  (No, I’m still training for triathlons, ).  You’ll learn about what running apps and other apps can set up a training program for you whether you are training for marathons or triathlons.

Also, I am now a regular contributor to Home Theater magazine and have a blog called “SmartStream” on HomeTheater.com.  You can find out how-tos and news on streaming media to home theaters.

I’ll be back soon to add links to more interesting articles you can use.
