I enjoy writing. I don’t think I’m particularly great at it but I enjoy it nonetheless. When asked what I’d do if I wasn’t doing what I am doing now – I’ll usually say that I’d like to either write Macintosh software or write for a newspaper. For those of you that do not know, […]

In January of this year I signed up to MySpace and I’ve logged in about a half-dozen times since to check messages, reply to comments, and upload a few profile photos. Shortly after that I signed up to Facebook and did just about the same thing. I logged in from time-to-time to catch up on […]

Lately, and especially since I launched the photos section of this site, I’ve been getting a lot of traffic from Google Images search. At first I thought it kind of neat that people were searching for images, or photos, and ending up finding my site in the results. But then once the traffic began to […]

Have you ever taken any photos that looked good in the viewfinder, or on your digital camera’s LCD screen, but when you saw them full sized ended up being rather bad? Or, perhaps you wished that your shot only had some minor framing adjustments? Recently I took a trip to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the Steelers […]

Photo credit: Austin Baker (zoom) It is a question that has been passed down from generation-to-generation. Scholars and philosophers have lost sleep, blood, sweat, and tears to find the answer but have been as yet unsuccessful. Until now. My friend Austin Baker has setup a site where the people can vote on this issue. We […]

While my friend Chris Masto, whom I met through Viddler, and I waited to go to lunch on Thursday in New York City he mentioned to me how much he likes to use Hahlo as his Twitter application of choice on his iPhone. Chris was probably the tenth person in a week to tell me […]

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] I’m sure everyone reading this, especially those of you that use Gmail, is aware that IMAP is now available through both Gmail and most Google Apps accounts*. My Google Apps account became IMAP-enabled on Friday, November 2nd, 2007. Once I saw this I quickly moved into action to setup IMAP on my […]

Something that I love about desktop software is the choice to upgrade. When a new version of an application is released I’m usually notified the next time I launch it. If the developer was kind enough, I’ll even have some release notes to peruse so that I can read about what was updated, what has […]

I was watching my friend Robert Scoble’s show where he was getting a demo of the latest version of Bloglines from the General Manager of the service, Eric Engleman. When Mr. Engleman was asked how he describes feeds to those who are yet unaware of them and he replied: "They are like a time machine…" […]

Am I the only person with an iPhone that hasn’t at least tried to Jailbreak (read: hack) it? Nearly everyone one I know that has an iPhone, and is at least somewhat geeky, has tried to hack their iPhone to get third-party applications up and running on it. My iPhone, is one of these Photo […]

While I await a new build of Camino that works a little better on Leopard I thought it a good opportunity to take Safari 3 for a spin. After using it since my upgrade from Tiger to Leopard I’ve found that Safari 3 is almost as good as Camino and in some ways even better. […]

I love watching the trends of the traffic on my blog; even if said traffic is not that high. In fact, I think it is much easier to monitor my site’s traffic trends then it is for us at Viddler because I’m able to keep a much closer eye on even the smallest of trends. […]

I’ve been pretty much gushing over Mac OS X Leopard for the last few days so I thought it’d be good to show a little balance. While using the Mac OS over the last few years I’ve wanted to have something natively handled and I was hoping it would be taken care of in Leopard; […]

Before returning from Phoenix I installed Leopard on my Macbook with very little effort. Upon my return I wanted to upgrade Eliza’s iBook to Leopard but I had tons of issues. Based on my experience with her laptop I wanted to jot down a few tips for any of you that have not made the […]

This is a question that I am not sure of the answer to but it is something that I’ve thought about before. Saving a cookie to a user’s machine used to be something that concerned new Internet users but I am not so sure that people care too much anymore. What reminded me of this […]

Hello again from 35,000 feet. The last time I wrote up here, above the clouds, I was in a very different mood. That is because I was having a very different day. Today at around noon I left my house with my wife who dropped me off at the airport. The airport that I like […]

One of the many photos. Peckville, PA Eliza and I are just nuts over photos. Crazy people. Paparazi-like at times. So the other day she and I wanted to try out her new camera so we did a photo day (see: our first photo day). Being that the new camera is "her camera" – I […]

How is this for a long title? My friend Jon Christopher is asking for some feedback on a little side project he is working on. I thought I’d duplicate my comment I made on his post in hopes that if any one that reads this would be interested in following this project too. So if […]

I’ve said this before; I wish I was a better writer and that I did it more often. Those that follow me on Twitter would probably wish the opposite, but I still would love to publish more here on my site. This is just a quick rant, written on my iPhone which is less conducive […]

The next knot in my string of technological woes lately is the problems that I’ve been having with my WiFi routers. I just can’t seem to ever setup something reliable! The problems with my routers began a few years ago with some old, crappy, blue router that I actually can’t remember where I got it […]

[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] Take this with a grain of salt because the issue(s) we’ve had with our Epson printer lately were, more or less, the straw on the camels back. During this same time we were helping a friend with his iPhone. Eliza and I have an Epson Stylus CX4800. We don’t print very often […]
