    While I use sauerkraut as a way to describe my Sunday hodge-podge posts, I don’t actually like to eat the stuff.  I do however, LOVE to eat kielbasa.  In fact, I just had some great kielbasa yesterday, over Mrs. T’s Pirogies.  Anyways, on to the good stuff. As I go through...

    As virtually everyone’s aware at this point, Google came out with a half-twitter, half-facebook, half-foursquare product last week named Buzz.  While Buzz wears many faces, the main company that it attacks is Twitter.  By most accounts, Buzz is not on the path to success.  However, Google will try again and...

    Just in case you’re reading my blog and neither a Gmail user nor a nerd (for the record, I love my readers who are neither, you’re expanding your own and the Burgh’s horizons), Google implemented Buzz today.  You can get the basics from the video above. The big question about...

    I had to wait until after the Super Bowl to get this post in.  Turns out people like to tweet about Football (and commercials).  Anyway, without further adieu, your Sunday Kraut: As I go through the week, I use twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I...

    I bet I know what you’re going to be doing on Sunday.  It’s Super Sunday and two high-powered offenses with star QBs are going to be playing in the biggest pro football game of the year.  You’ll be watching it with a cold beer and your buddies or over fondue...

    As I go through the week, I use twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you have Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review.  I’ve...
