iPhone issues in San Francisco?

August 19, 2008

So, I’ve had my iPhone for about a month now and by and large, it works well enough here in Seattle. The thing that I was most concerned about switching from my trusty but aged Treo 755p (my year old phone was aged, trust me) was going back to the AT&T network. I switched from [...]

What’s on Stephen Colbert’s iPhone? [updated]

August 15, 2008

Stephen Colbert was waving around his iPhone last night in a tirade against Jobs’ “kill switch.” I thought it might be interesting to see what apps he has on his iPhone. Beyond the standard apps, AIM, Facebook are the most obvious, but I can’t figure out what the last one on the right is. Anyone [...]

After a brief shut down in the extra curricular activities, I’ll be out and about in the real world (errr…. echo chamber) real soon now. Here are a couple of events you can spot me at in the next couple of weeks. Wordcamp 2008 While I haven’t blogged as much in the last year as [...]

Paris Hilton for President

August 7, 2008

Normally, politics and pop culture are two things I rarely talk about on this blog, but this is too funny not to share. If you live under an advertising rock like I do, you rarely see political ads but I do frequently watch the Daily Show, so I catch the particularly interesting ones. A recent [...]

Google Calendar supports CalDAV

August 6, 2008

Ok, maybe not the most glamorous headline, but if you are looking for a way to integrate into the “cloud” with minimal effort and not paying $99 a year to Mobile Me (and praying that it works), this is a pretty good solution from our friends at Google. I share a group calendar with my [...]

May 2, 2008

About to get on a plane and head down to the San Francisco Bay Area for the annual Maker Faire this weekend. This is the first Maker Faire I’ve attended and I’ll be bringing Heather and Olivia in tow for the event. We’re all pretty excited for some hard core nerdery this weekend. What is [...]

Flickr has video

April 9, 2008

Long rumored and shrouded in secrecy, Flickr launched video today. Video is restricted to 90 seconds and dubbed ““long photos,” of capturing slices of life to share.” I think it’s a great addition to the site and like the idea of short clips rather than long form amateur video. This will be a great way [...]

SXSWi 2008 in pictures

March 13, 2008

Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR. I’ve been taking pictures of events for almost a year now and SXSWi was clearly the biggest event that I had undertaken. South by Southwest is both rewarding and grueling in the sense that meeting great folks, learning new things, trying to upload photos in somewhat real time while trying to [...]

Twitter in Plain English

March 6, 2008

My pals Lee and Sachi LeFever of CommonCraft have done it again, just in time for SXSW. These guys do a really great job of explaining difficult topics in “plain english.” These videos are really great if you are just starting out trying to figure out this strange online world. At last year’s SXSWi in [...]

Ignite Seattle pix

February 20, 2008

I’ve posted my pix from last night’s Ignite Seattle event. Ignite Seattle is a tech geek meetup held semi-irregularly that brings out some of the best and brightest in the Puget Sound region. Had a great time and hope the next one isn’t so far off in the future. Wish my pix were better, but [...]
