\”I ♥ NetNewsWire (on the iPhone)\” – Justin Blanton
Justin Blanton weighs in on the NetNewsWire iPhone application: "Since installing the app, I find myself reading news a lot more in bed, before I get up in the morning. I roll over, grab my iPhone (which is sitting on the nightstand because I used a podcast to help me fall asleep) and start rocking […]

Flying over Las Vegas
Date taken: August 17, 2008 A 757, as the bird flies, over Las Vegas, Nevada. I took this, and a few other photos of this plane landing, from the top of the Eiffel Tower in the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. This photo gives a fairly good glimpse at how Las Vegas is generally laid […]

Hey TechCrunch! Put Viddler on your radar. Please?
There is no way to say this without sounding like a complainer, so I’m just going to say it and, well, sound like a complainer. And maybe I am so I’ll just embrace that and move on. K? Oh, before I begin, let me just say that I’m completely open to the fact that I […]

Sailfish, on the hunt
[ad#Adsense: Horiz 468] Often extremely elusive even to the most skillful seamen, the sailfish seems to hunt in large packs around sardines. This photoset from National Geographic photographer Paul Nicklen is stunning. Source: Sailfish – Photo Gallery.

Going beyond Automatic
Michael Mistretta, easily the youngest author whose blog I’m subscribed to, recently took a trip to Zambia. In "Going Beyond Automatic: Photography in Africa" he gives the broad strokes of what the "Automatic" setting is on your camera, and how it takes practice to master "Manual" mode. He also talks a lot about why it […]

SOLD OUT! Daring Fireball’s RSS Feed Sponsorship
I’ve been a member of John Gruber’s Daring Fireball since, and perhaps John can correct me if I’m wrong, nearly the first day he made the membership available. I’ve been a reader for even longer. After a while (I’ll take a stab and say a year but I can’t remember) he decided to open up […]

Viva la New Media Expo!
Some blogger I am, I didn’t even mention that I was going to go to the New Media Expo in Las Vegas. Well, I did. And it was great. And you should have been there. But now onto my point and why I used the above photo in this post. Las Vegas is like Podcasting. […]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – A Graphic Novel
Funny how just last night, lying in bed, Eliza and I were discussing this movie. Today, after going through my feed reader ((Which I’m so far behind on it isn’t even funny.)) I see a link from John Gruber’s Daring Fireball to Kevin Cornell’s blog post about his working on a graphic novel for The […]

Brand New: Opinions on Corporate and Brand Identity work
I’ve been trying to remember where I first heard about Brand New, a blog by Under Consideration, because I wanted to give appropriate credit. But alas, I can not. Brand New is a blog that covers the world of corporate and brand identity as it relates to work that has been recently released. This blog […]

The new Kyle Slattery.com
My friend and Viddler team member Kyle Slattery recently relaunched his Web site. He explains his thoughts on the design and development in this post, which got me to thinking. Having your own Web site is a truly awesome thing. Especially on today’s Internet. I’ve had "my own site" for as long as I’ve ever […]

Completely torn over mobile photos
The above photo was posted to Flickr from my iPhone a few minutes ago. I wanted to show off, in all its glory, the new desktop picture I’m using on both my Macbook and external monitor courtesy of Mark Bixby. But this brings up something that I’m completely torn over. Where should I post my mobile photos? […]

Chewing on bits, bites, and full on meals
Some prefer to eat three times a day. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. It seems that lately people in my country seem to skip the first meal, generally eat the second meal on-the-run or too quickly, and eat the last meal of the day far too late in the day. Then you have the health conscious individuals […]

Search Google Docs and Bookmarks with Spotlight using Precipitate
Even though I don’t like Spotlight’s window in Leopard as much as I did the one in Tiger, I still use Spotlight extensively to launch applications, find files and directories, and search through documents, email messages, instant messages, and much more. However, more and more data is being stored "in the cloud" and so Spotlight […]

Get a Brightkite sticker, Viddler Tshirt and sticker!
Brightkite, in their infinite generosity, sent me a few stickers that I could give away here on my site. When I got them in the mail yesterday I immediately began to think of a fun way to give them away, and I think I’ve come up with an easy and fun way. Photo credit: Chris […]

Brightkite’s smart \”profile not found\” pages

iPhone camera oddity
Not sure exactly what caused this, but a quick snap of my wine glass with my iPhone and this is what happened. Somehow, I found it fitting with my current state when taking the photo though.

The way Brightkite fits
A few months ago I was invited to join Brightkite. At the time I wasn’t too keen on giving up my exact location all the time, nor did I want to switch from Twitter to Brightkite and start all over again. For any of you reading this, the way Brightkite fits into my daily routine […]

A new perspective on billboards
There are examples of well and poorly designed billboards all over highways and high-traffic roads in the United States and other countries. However, Branislav Kropilak has a slightly different perspective on billboards that turns every-single-one into a work of art. Also worth checking out are his photo exhibitions of Garages, Landings, Trains, Factories, and Lobbies. […]

About a million little things
I have been slowly making small adjustments to this site’s theme locally on my computer for weeks. Every now and then, as I’d find a bug or something that bugged me on the live site, I’d open Coda, make some adjustments, check them locally and save them for publishing later ((I’m a publish once and […]

Benjamin Wilken’s Australian adventure
A nine year old boy in my area recently won a trip to Australia with National Geographic. "For Benjamin Wilken, it was the chance of a lifetime. He wrote a 300-word essay on how he became a young explorer, attached a photograph he took, put it in the mail and now, months later, he is […]

Moscow as the bird flies
EnglishRussia.com recently published a photoset of Russia from a birds-eye view. The photos are pretty stunning. The most amazing thing to me is to see how much Moscow has changed when I compare it to the book I read about Moscow that was published in 1978. Thirty years can make a very big difference in […]
