Online Guy
Al Gibes
Al Gibes has been writing the weekly Online Guy column since May 1998. He's seen the world move from a majority of non-computer users to more than 60 percent of U.S. users having high-speed connections in their homes. He began his journalism career as a reporter/photographer in Roswell, NM, then moved to Los Alamos, NM and Grand Junction, CO as chief photographer at each newspaper. He joined the R-J staff in 1994 as a photo editor, moving to the online world at the inception of the reviewjournal.com site in 1997. He'll blog about all things related to the Internet, bandwidth, new technology and anything related to the digital world. He won't be blogging about how to fix a bad C drive, adding graphics cards to a PC or what's the best computer to buy -- unless that discussion pits Apple vs. the rest of the PC world. He's a Mac guy all the way.

Carpe Testes - Be a Man, Self Exam
Posted by Al Gibes

Proving that you can have fun with a serious topic, the CarpeTestes.org site has a series of five humorous,  attention-getting videos targeting males. The mission is simple, get the audience (guys) to do regular self-exams of the family jewels. My favorite video is the hockey-themed scenario, but the "Where it Counts" clip reminds me of days as a catcher. Ouch!



My advice to those behind the site is to make it easier to get to the actual details of how to do a testicular exam, along with all the other serious side of the fence information. Look for the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation  logo in the lower-left corner of the screen.
