Tharrrr be ads on this herrrre site!
So I couldn’t come up with an exciting way to tell you that I’m testing out Google Adsense on my blog for the months of January and February. Sue me. So here is how the ads work, why I’m doing it, and what my goals are. How my system of ad placement works I believe […]

So, I posted some photos from Pittsburgh after all
At the end of November I said none of my photos from Pittsburgh were "worthy of publishing" to my photolog. Well, I decided to just not care so much and publish them anyways – partly because I want to share them – and partly because I need to be a little less paranoid about that […]

We’re bringing TUG.n back
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, […]

I’ve deleted my MySpace, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts
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 […]

Should I block Google Images search?
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 […]

When good photos go bad
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 […]

Should cows breathe underwater?
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 […]

An odd Safari mobile tab bug
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 […]

Setting up IMAP on my iPhone and Mail.app using Google Apps
[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 […]

Should web applications offer versions?
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 […]

Are feeds really like a time machine?
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…" […]

I’m not jailbreaking my iPhone
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 […]

Safari 3 on Leopard is almost as good as Camino
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. […]

Traffic via searches can be fun
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. […]

Location, location, location
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; […]

The last version before the next version
I’ve just uploaded the last of the bug fixes, tweaks, and features to my personal web site before it goes through a major overhaul. By the time 2008 rolls around I hope to be sporting a completely new suit. I’ve got a lot of work to do before I get there, which is why I’m […]

A few tips before installing 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 […]

Is \”Remember me\” still needed?
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 […]

Writing helps me think more clearly and to form or transform my opinions. I write about what interests me such as blogging, photography, technology, social media, and my personal creative projects.
