I’m proud to call myself a Mashable alumnus.

More and more, the things we do in real life will end up as Facebook posts. And while we may be consoled by the fact that most of this stuff is being posted just to our friends, it only takes one friend to share that information with his or her friends to start a viral chain.

The big reason why we don’t have space colonies and regular trips to the moon is that flying into outer space is just plain ‘hard.’ The business of safely transporting people off the Earth is a costly affair that requires a lot of technology.

Windows Updates have sometimes been a pain point for users. The update pop-ups can interrupt a movie or a video game, and the automatic restarts can result in lost data or confused users.

I’m still excited at being at a microphone and talking to listeners. I love that. It’s the most basic element of what I do and I still enjoy it very much.

The elements of success. And my son’s very successful. He’s doing very well. And I have a younger daughter who sings.

What I’m dealing with is sound. I don’t pretend to be dealing with music. I’m just dealing with sound elements, textures and sounds.

The elements of a good story are most definitely details, little bitty details. That does it, especially when you’re describing, when you’re setting the scene and everything. It’s like you’re painting a picture, so details are very important. Also, the music gotta be right.
