A friend of mine is co-owner of an iPad. That’s right, he shares it with a friend. While he doesn’t have primary custody, he got naming rights and calls it “Paddington.” Even though I called him a 12 year old girl, he offered to lend the iPad to me for a few [...]

Why Microsoft Has It Wrong

March 31, 2009

Microsoft, or at least the software giant we’ve come to know and… well… the big software company, is going to die. Here’s why:
Kodak was in love with film. They thought there was no way that film was ever going to go away. Even as digital photography took hold and people were [...]

IE8 Great… At First.

March 27, 2009

So, I installed IE8 on my machine at work. Initially, I was quite impressed. It seemed to render quite quickly (with the exception of CSS3 animation, which I kind of expected). On Microsoft-specific stuff, like Sharepoint, it actually seemed to be a vast improvement over IE7. The page renders were downright [...]

Maybe I Just Have an Electric Personality

March 26, 2009

I recently purchased the Apple In-Ear Headphones, which I really like. I still have a first-ten iPhone (until June?) and they work well. The volume control isn’t in play, but that was to be expected.

Et tu, Google?

February 13, 2009

So, I just noticed with the last post, that my favicon had changed to Blogger’s. So I checked the site and my favicon is still there. Next, I looked at the source code and saw that Blogger had added a favicon directive in the header. Hunh…
In order to get mine back, I [...]

iBlogger Test Run

February 13, 2009

I just purchased iBlogger from the iTunes store. So far, my experience has been positive. I’m actually typing this post on it.
Installation was as east as any iPhone application, and configuring it was as easy as pointing it at a provider and supplying my credentials.
I’m hoping this will make it easier to keep fresh content [...]
