Month: June 2007

5:30am – Good morning! I’m going to live blog my entire day. Eliza, my friend Matt, and I are heading to the King of Prussia mall’s own Apple Store to meet up with Rob to get in line for our iPhones. I hope to leave by 6:30am. 10:08am – Probably 40th in line at the

The new Docs UI Google announced a redesign of the main Google Docs dashboard that gives you quick access to all of your documents and spreadsheets that you have on Google Docs. In many ways this new interface is much better than the old one – except that Google has seemingly taken tags, or labels

So everyone is sick of hearing about the iPhone right? Well, everyone except those of us that are planning on getting one. Recently though I’ve seen some people saying that they don’t know why I am getting an iPhone, why I’m willing to pay so much money, why I’m getting the first version, and some

I purchased my black Macbook on the very first day they were available at an Apple Store in Rockaway, New Jersey. I even wrote about the first week with my Macbook. I had a few problems with the very first Macbook they gave me with a dead mini-DVI port and then random shutdowns with the

Back on May 25th I uploaded this screenshot to my Flickr account hoping that someone else would have had the same issues that I was having using my OpenID while trying to leave a comment on LiveJournal. Yet, no one has responded yet. Fast forward nearly a month and I’ve since emailed Live Journal, did

Fanboy button – carocat_1983 Is it possible to not like something only because someone, or a group of people, like it? If one of your friends came to you and said "I love Product XYZ you absolutely have to try it!" would you be turned off by their enthusiasm for it? Recently I’ve had a

Lately I’ve been lax in my workouts. This is in part due to the fact that my schedule is not lining up with Chris Fehnel‘s schedule and so I haven’t been regularly hitting the gym nor running (though I have managed to play some frisbee and basketball). I believe it is time to quit making

Hello, Skitch! Well, that was fun. I feel like all that I’ve been doing over the last few days is giving out Skitch invites and inviting more people to try it! I think we should back pedal a little to explain what exactly happened and why I’m surprised at the response. Ever since I got

You may have read my overview of Skitch or maybe you saw the countless images tagged with skitch on Flickr – and perhaps you want to join in on the fun? Update at 11:34am EST: plasq is planning a full scale release of Skitch in a matter of hours. Until then, read below. Update at

MeToday: June 11, 2007 So I’ve been catching some flack over my MeToday photo that, more or less, described my feelings towards the WWDC Keynote on Monday. Perhaps I’m overreacting, perhaps I’m being a little overly critical, or maybe I just needed more sleep, but the fact remains — I am not alone in my

Thanks to all who encouraged me after gaining a few pounds last week. It means a lot. This week I lost 2.6 pounds and weighed in at 187.4 pounds. I’m very happy with these results considering the weekend of eating rather heartily. Although I was able to play a little frisbee and play some basketball

One of the most difficult things about building a software product is dealing with feature requests. They come from everywhere. At Viddler we’ve got a forum specifically for jotting down feature ideas, because we all realize that people will have really great ideas on how Viddler could be of use to them. Then, and I

If I have a bad week on the diet it is usually caused by one of the following two things. First, I may have skipped my running, sports, or working out at the gym sometime during the week. Or, second, I may not have eaten well during the week. Usually if I do not eat

Sorry for the lack of updates (namely my weigh in today). But my thoughts have been preoccupied as you can see from my MeToday video for today (come to this post to view the video). MeToday: June 5, 2007 Do you want an iPhone as much as I do? Am I alone in my thoughts

For those reading this that may not know what Google Gears does allow me to give a little bit of background on the situation and explain how, in general, web applications work. Web applications are different then the applications you run on your computer in two very specific and obvious ways. First, they are run
