    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

Engaging in Conversation By way of introduction, I am Toby Getsch, a Program Manager and SharePoint MCTS here at J Street.  I’m excited to engage in some conversation and start leveraging blogging and social networking more – all while trying to promote and bring [...]

More Posts En Route

It looks like I get to do some blogging as part of my job at J Street Tech.  I’m looking forward to this and to getting involved in more conversations this way.  I will likely cross-post most of the things I put up on the J Street Tech blog so they can be listed here [...]

Tips for Good Panoramic Pics

[Click on the image to view the full panoramic image.] While I only claim to be an amateur photographer,  I also like to learn a little bit more about taking certain types of pictures, but only a little bit of that learning at a time.  So, short articles like, “Shooting Panoramas by Jay Dickman” are [...]

There are case studies, and there are CASE studies.

This is a CASE study. Regardless of what you think about Facebook, it’s HUGE.  If you hate it, you probably should learn to love it.  That’s just reality. Even if your perception is what you really want, you should go with reality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm8NdNy4wOM Facebook Digg Print Email

The New Reader Feature in Safari 5

I really like the new Reader feature in Safari 5.  Here are screen shot examples of how it takes a page with plenty of information and lets you focus on the primary information, all with one click. Here is a screen shot of the normal view. Click on the grey Reader button in the address [...]

Content and Discussion and Facebook Wins

Content is created all over the place.  Discussion about content happens on Facebook. Twitter and retweets are nice, but discussion in a closed system among people who care about similar things and can hide certain “friends” makes for a better medium than other places.  It’s actually open communication and open discussion, inside of a closed [...]

Vancouver 2010 Olympics

With the official start of the winter games happening today, I’m having a good time this morning checking out various sites related to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.  It’s particularly fun being close, now that I am back living in Seattle, WA, just a couple/few hours south of Vancouver, BC.  I may try to go up [...]

Simplicity rules.

This past month I moved across the country, back to the Seattle, Washington area.  I love it here!  And, I’m glad to be back. This trip back was done with everything I own able to fit into my truck with the top carrier.  It was not really that tight of a fit.  That’s mostly because I [...]

There are many reasons.  One of the Twitter co-founders writes about one good one.  They listened. Facebook Digg Print Email

Another Super Obvious Strong Password Reminder

Twitter recently banned the use of some passwords that are way to easy and obvious for “the bad guys” to exploit.  The commentary on weak passwords is so strong and obvious, yet so many people ignore the warnings and just don’t care.  When users maintain weak passwords, and their computers or phones or bank accounts [...]
