Observations about “tweeting” from my site
It is hard to believe that it has been over 6 weeks since I began posting status messages from my site rather than through Twitter or Facebook. Here was my first status update. Here are some observations that I’ve made: I figured out my process of updating, and replying, within about 10 days and have […]

Year one of the Apple Watch
In January I wrote: The Apple Watch could be called a flop if it sold so poorly and customer demand or interest was so low that Apple totally shelved the project. But they haven’t. I’m willing to bet they made a lot of money on the Watch so far (far more than any of their […]

The cost of Unsplash
Luke Chesser shares what it cost to run Unsplash in February (minus humans): Hopefully getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it costs to run a site like Unsplash will help you with your own business, or at least give you a better understanding of what’s involved. It is nice when people share information like this […]

Congratulations to…
Congratulations to Kobe Bryant for scoring 60 in his final NBA game, to Steph Curry for hitting over 400 3-pointers in a single season (this number is baffling), and to the Warriors for winning 73 games in a regular season. Last night was an amazing night for basketball.

Is GoPro doomed?
Those that follow along here on my blog know that I love my GoPro. And I “only” have the HERO 3. See this, this, this, this, and this for examples of me playing around with my GoPro. GoPro’s stock price and sales figures are plummeting. And as I sit here, going over everything they have, and […]

Twitter’s problem
I already quoted Gary this morning but I might as well do it again. In Daily Vee #29 (go right to the moment here) he said: I know that 8 years ago if I said “follow my friend Joel, he’s awesome” 2,000 people would do that when I had 7,000 followers and now 37 will do […]

I was reading up on ipfw (deprecated on Mac I guess), pf, and dnctl (which is within pfctl?) over the weekend. My *nix firewall foo is lacking to say the least. My goal is to find a way to create a pipe just for Photos for OS X and limit its bandwidth to only a few […]

PHP is pretty bad
Since I wrote "I’m perfectly happy using PHP” last week I figured I’d show the other side’s viewpoint as well. There are those out there that loathe the language. Evee goes off on PHP like no one else could: PHP is an embarrassment, a blight upon my craft. It’s so broken, but so lauded by […]

What will vehicles look like when they become completely autonomous? What about non-passenger vehicles like delivery trucks? What about when they are all electric and autonomous? The near future is going to look very different.

I’m reading reports of the iPhone SE being in low supply. I know when I picked up mine I had to call three, and drive to two, locations before I found one. And I ended up with a color I hadn’t originally intended (though I like it now). I don’t know if Apple was caught […]

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.
