a blog by Oscar González
As much as I discourage the use of Microsoft Word, I know its widely used as the preferred method of writing for some people. Be it for a letter, a resume, or even in some cases, a blog post. Some people use Word to write their blogposts, then copy and paste them into WordPress.

Tag lines on blogs are always tricky for me. Especially when its a personal blog, a brand or company is a little easier because the tagline should be in line with their slogan or mission statement.
Not so much when you’re an individual blogger that likes a million topics.
I decided to change the title and tagline of my blog a little bit so I can quickly tell visitors what my blog is about. I decided to drop my name as the title and give it something more descriptive, maybe even catchier. Since I still want my name to be up front, I made it part of the tagline instead.
Now, instead of Diversification is my specialty it says: a blog by Oscar González, with the title being: Techie of All Sorts (ToAS, or TAS for short). That seems to be a step in the right direction towards clearing up any confusion about what this place might be.

I have some interesting sites to share with you from last week. I call this a random link-o-rama, or share-content-fest.
Read a great article on management and whether it is good or reasonable or even advisable to expect your employees to put in 60 hour workweeks, just because you (as the owner) do. The article asks: Ask yourself what actually matters in the long run. Is it that a certain butt is in a certain chair at a certain hour or would you prefer version 1.0 gets released on time? Would you rather an employee punches a card or he writes code with minimal bugs? Do you want someone who has no life or someone who brings fresh ideas to the office? read the rest of this post…

If you’ve followed me on Twitter, and sometimes here, you might know that I’ve been working with several Bloggers that happen to be Moms. I don’t know how it all started, but these mommybloggers are dominating the blogsphere. They are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to buzz, opinion, market trends and stuff like that.

They are responding to an ad I placed to sell a laptop, the price of the laptop was $100. Why would anyone offer to pay more than twice that much, and without even looking at the item. Beware of scams like this, there are tons of them in Craiglist.
