Protect Your Child From Online Dangers with My Ebook

As a web developer, I know the power of the Internet. As a parent, I know its pitfalls.  Wearing both hats, I have published my ebook, "100 Ways to Keep Your Children Safe Online: The Guide for Parenting in a Digital World."   The book has allowed me to share my expertise as an Internet consultant and as a father of two boys, a 6-year-old and a 4-year-old, to help other parents protect their children from nefarious computer users who may be using the Internet to harm or exploit children.   My company Read more 29

I’m Proud to Be a Winner of the Very First Flippie Awards

Hard work brings its own reward through self-satisfaction. So when your hard work is recognized by others, especially industry peers, accolades are just icing on the cake.

I had a great time in Cancun. The beaches were breathtaking, the weather was...

Boston Native John Romano Shares What it’s Like to Live in World’s Smartest City

Boston baked beans, seafood, and the Boston Red Sox – that’s what most people think of when you mention Boston (aka Beantown), Massachusetts. Boston is not as overwhelming as larger cities like New York or Chicago, but it has all the things you’d expect in a big city – culture, museums, great restaurants, and more – while retaining a small town atmosphere. I was born in Boston (Medford exactly), went to high school in nearby Somerville, and attended University of Massachusetts Amherst.  Boston's education opportunities attract smart citizens whose projects foster intense innovation.   It was wonderful for me...
