The iPad commercial from the Oscars – too fast?
Last night while watching the Oscars I saw this iPad commercial, which Engadget has shared, and I immediately thought it was too fast. I have seen the Keynote announcing the iPad and have poured over its features on the Web site – so I’m pretty familiar with what the iPad will do out of the [...]
Using an Airport Express to extend a wireless network using the LAN port
Recently Eliza and I signed up for Netflix. Ever since moving into our new apartment I haven’t had the Xbox 360 connected to the Internet because of the location of my cable modem/router and because the Xbox 360 does not come Wifi-enabled by default.
This hasn’t been too much of an issue since I haven’t been [...]

Visiting Franklin Hill and Amoré on the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail
Eliza, my mother-in-law Carla and I took a drive last week to visit a few wineries along the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail. Due to winter hours, a long lunch, and some shopping – we only got to two wineries along the trail.
The first winery was Amoré in Nazareth, Pa. Although having recently been through a [...]

Eating 28 chicken McNuggets
A few years ago, and I have the video to prove it, I said that I wanted to try to eat 100 chicken McNuggets from McDonald’s. Those whom I asked to try the challenge with me refused (looking back this was a wise choice) and so it never happened. Since then, however, I’ve always [...]

Google Buzz and the whole Google Accounts fiasco
Yesterday Google began to release Google Buzz to its Gmail users. Buzz appears to be a compelling service – especially since it plugs right into something many of us use already. For more information about what Buzz is and does visit the Google Buzz site for a nice demo.
I can’t have much more of an [...]
Tumblarity is gone. Thanks Tumblr.
Last August I complained about Tumblarity and I wasn’t alone. Many people didn’t like how Tumblarity motivated the Tumblr community to post and repost drivel and I’m very happy to see that the Tumblr team has, as far as I can tell from my desk, decided to do away with it. But I also said [...]
Switching to Google Chrome Developer channel
For months I’ve been using Chromium the open source browser that powers Google Chrome. Using Chromium had its advantages and disadvantages. I had the bleeding edge of what was offered by the Chromium team – whether it was stable or not. But, I also had to manually update my personal copy of Chromium on a [...]

Ignoring and removing a file from a Git repository
Found this little gem tonight after I had made the mistake of ignoring a file that I had already added to my repo and had committed more than one change to and wanted to remove the file from my commit history completely.
“One problem I see quite often in the #git channel on Freenode is that [...]
Richard Stallman’s approach to email
I wish I could handle email this way. Richard Stallman, the guy behind GNU and a self-proclaimed free software advocate and campaigner, only signs onto the Internet to send email a few times per day.
“Most of the time I do not have an Internet connection. Once or twice or maybe three times a day I [...]
The Chromium Bookmark Manager
A few days ago I updated to the latest nightly build of Chromium, something I do every few days using TechCrunch’s Chrome-Up application, and was elated to discover that Chromium finally has a Bookmark Manager. Up until this release I was unable to edit any of the bookmarks that I had imported from Safari into [...]

Google Reader subscription notifications
I’ve got an idea for the Google Reader team. When someone on Viddler, or Twitter or Facebook “follows” me I get an email letting me know. This gives me an opportunity to identify who is following me, learn about them as people instead of just statistics and perhaps even follow them back if I want [...]

These are a few of my favorite things
I have different reasons for saving favorites on each service that I use. I figured I’d take some time to explain the reasons by listing out the services on which I save favorites and why. Also of note is that these reasons happened naturally and were not the result of me trying to think of [...]

Some Earth quaking perspective
Here is a bit of perspective regarding the recent outbreak of earthquake news. The Earth quakes quite a bit. In fact, it could probably be said that somewhere on the Earth, at any given time, there is an earthquake occuring. Some are felt, some aren’t, most are now being measured.
Lets look at the last 7 [...]
All Chrome all the time
I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser for nearly six months. It won Best Browser in my Best of 2009 list. I didn’t even realize it had been that long until I went back through some of the things I wrote about Chrome here in First initial, last name. To be more specific, actually, [...]

I want a big iPhone too
The speculation about the upcoming product from Apple, presumably some form of tablet computer, is all over the place. The more I read the more I want. The more I want the more I wish. The more I wish the more I desire a big iPhone.
I’ve thought about it a lot over the last several [...]
Now with 100% more Twitter.
In addition to the support for Realtime RSS that I’ve added recently I’ve also now created a Twitter account for First initial, last name. Although the username @cdevroecom is rather disappointing I could not figure out any combination of First initial, last name that was available so we’ll all just have to live with it.
Every [...]
Back that thing up.
This is just wonderful. Marco Arment has recently released a back up application for Tumblr that is currently only available for Mac OS X. This back up application takes a fairly unique approach among blogging platforms in that it backs up your Tumblog using raw files to your hard disk. It saves HTML files [...]
