I admit it. I’m as guilty as anyone.  When Twitter goes down I throw up my arms in disgust and shake a fist at the west (cuz that is where Twitter HQ is in relation to me). But I think it is time to stop complaining and start helping.  How?   What if we created […]

Date taken: May 25, 2008 A tree at the Lackawanna State Park. Adequate rain fall, cooler weather, and plenty of sun has made northeastern Pennsylvania richly covered in deep green this spring.  As summer quickly approaches, I’m sure this particular shade of green will begin to give way to a more yellow tint, but for now […]

Prior to even upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.3 I had heard about this feature, from my co-worker Kyle Slattery on Twitter, that you could sync your Mac OS X Address Book to your Gmail contacts. "Sigh, I was excited about Google contact syncing in 10.5.3, but it turns out it’s only for iPhone and […]

I’ve been around this Internet thingy for a few years now.  Actually, I’ve been around since the very beginning in some form or another.  I’ve been actively employed in the Internet video arena for over a year and a half, so I think that when I say that I think Two Guys on Beer has […]

Asteridae by Jennifer Maestre. The above sculpture is constructed completely out of pencils. Jennifer Maestre, sculptor, has an interesting approach to art where she uses pencils for all of her creations.  Some of them are really quite brilliant and I could see wanting to have some of them around. I wonder how long it takes her […]

Donna, Rob, and I are having a strategy meeting today. Kyle is on his way from Boston. We’re all Macintosh all the time at Viddler.  Actually, I think the entire US team has a Macintosh now, while our team members in Poland need to "upgrade" soon.

Late last year I was privileged enough to find the time to attend The Future of Web Design in New York City.  Some of my friends were presenting, the Carsonified team always puts together great events, and the event was relatively in my own backyard so the decision to attend was easy. After the conference […]

According to Delicious Monster’s Delicious Blog, Delicious Library 2.0 has been in the works since November 2004.  Wil Shipley, lead developer and owner of Delicious Monster, says: "There are over a hundred new features in 2, and hundreds more bug fixes. I’m very proud of it, and very exhausted. I could blah blah blah a […]

Date taken: May 25, 2008 Photo credit: Eliza Devroe. Why, what did you do this weekend?  I doubt it was as fun as this.  Was it? We tried our best to injure ourselves and I think Chris was by far the most successful.  Maybe if you ask nicely Eliza will post some of the better shots to […]

This is incredible.  While photographing what seemed like a normal, and beautiful, wedding in Sichuan, China an earthquake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter magnitude scale, shakes the church of the wedding to the ground. These photos are quite stunning and truly tell how this quake hit with seemingly little or no notice at all.  What I […]

A sea lion? Yesterday I saw my friend Daniel Nicolas twitter; "there was a seal at the beach! yes i got pictures".  I knew once he published the photos I was going to link to them. But then I got to thinking – did he really mean seal or did he mean sea lion? Once he […]

Date taken: May 18, 2008 – 10:24pm EST – The moon, as seen from northeastern Pennsylvania. I found this as I was rifling through a few of my photos that I haven’t yet imported into my photo library.  Getting a photo of the moon without the proper equipment is extremely frustrating.  The awe-inspiring view of […]

Ever have trouble getting the last bits of peanut butter out of the bottom of the peanut butter jar?  What is your method for getting it out? Maybe you tilt the jar and shoving a knife all the way to the bottom, which usually ends up getting more peanut button on the knife handle than […]

I’m finally getting around to writing about The Last Crusade. The third Indiana Jones film, The Last Crusade, is as close to my favorite as Raiders of the Lost Ark.  Unlike The Temple of Doom Crusade gets back to Indy’s roots. Same friends, same mission, same pace. Beat the Nazis!  I believe if you aligned the story […]

Brett Wilson A few weeks ago I had lunch with Brett Wilson, CEO of TubeMogul, and we were talking about the partnership between TubeMogul and Viddler. We also talked about surfing and family, but for now we’ll focus on TubeMogul and Viddler. A few days later I asked Brett if I could ask him a […]

This is a pretty neat tip from Tekzilla (friend Tekzilla on Viddler), one that I never knew about, but that I think will come in handy.  If you’ve ever connected your iPod or iPhone to your computer, you’ve no doubt scene the graph in iTunes showing you how much of your space is used for […]

Over 1 year in the making!  Well, not really, but it has been over a year since version 1.2 of the widget was released.  Now, with version 1.3, the Ta-da List widget is back in action and has been updated to accomodate the changes that 37Signals made to Ta-da List in a recent update. The […]

My good friend Gary Vaynerchuk, host of Wine Library TV, has had the privilege of making some rounds on network television programs such as Nightline, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, the Ellen Degeneres Show, and The Big Idea – so I thought I’d keep a catalog of these appearances here. Here are Gary’s television appearances, […]

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] I couldn’t think of a much better title for this link, so I used the title from the actual ManBabies.com web site.  ManBabies.com, essentially, is a collection of altered images with men holding babies but having their heads swapped. While the purpose of this site originally was to showcase Dads with their […]

When I was a kid Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom was one of the more gory movies I had ever seen.  Men having their hearts torn out while they were still living, alligators (which were being portrayed as crocodiles) ripping flesh from bone in a death roll, and voodoo practicing children stabbing dolls.  For a child, all […]

If you are a fan of American Idol, particularly its contest style format with judges, auditions, etc. then you may like Mahalo Daily‘s method of finding a new co-host. When I saw that Mahalo Daily was sharing Vlog Idol on Viddler, I actually started watch all of the episodes when they came out.  I wanted […]

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] On Friday, while I was at Viddler HQ fooling around with Rob, I noticed my friend Dan Rubin twittered the following: "if I ditch cable, buy an AppleTV and only watch shows I’ve BT’d (I’ll pay for movie rentals), I’ll save myself over $600/year (ATV included)" Allow me, first, to decrypt this […]

You could just get lost on Amazon, couldn’t you?  Every single category seems to have a never ending list of subcategories, each with their own products as you drill down.  I have never "shopped" on Amazon.com.  I’ve purchased a few things on the site, usually by someone linking to a product, but I’ve never just browsed around.

This is great.  Joe D!, as he is known on Flickr, decided it’d be neat to deface, I mean – artistically improve U.S. paper currency by adding some doodles.  He managed to create an entire Flickr photo set dedicated to this hobby.  Here are a few samples: Some of my favorites (pictured) are the Spartan, […]

In February Eliza and I went to dinner with some friends here in Pennsylvania.  In the foyer of the restaurant we ate at was this chef guy that I took a photo of with my iPhone. Today I noticed that he is also in Lisbon, Portugal.  Small world. Source: Lisbon: Campo Pequeno.

plasq continues to amaze.  Adding onto the Comic Life brand, which includes Comic Life for Mac and Windows, is Comic Life Magiq.  What is the difference?  Comic Life Magiq is a big brother to Comic Life, it has more "pro" type features like image editing, and it is Leopard-only. "With creative features rivaling ‘Pro’ applications, […]

Raiders of the Lost Ark debuted in movie theaters in 1981, when I was only one year old.  I don’t remember the first time, nor how many times, I saw this movie – but I do know that I loved it as a child, and now I know I really enjoy it as an adult too. Sure […]

Coming this summer:  Sprint vs. Apple.  Instinct vs. iPhone.  Who has got the guts to win? I’ve seen this reported in a few places, that Sprint is going to spend $100,000,000 on a marketing campaign aimed directly against the iPhone.  Why am I the only one that loves this? For the first time in nearly […]

I am not even sure how I came across this site.  A few days ago I found myself browsing Dan Phiffer’s Web site and I have to say, it is probably one of the more innovative sites I’ve seen in a while. There are some drawbacks, however: After visiting the site numerous times you kinda […]
