I’ll admit that one reason I decided to try and blog some more was because WordPress released an iPhone app and in order to try it I needed to blog.
Well here I am blogging from my iPhone. It’s pretty cool. But, even though I’m getting better at typing on this thing I think [...]

Okay, so the battery life stinks. I’ll deal with it.
I do think the iPhone interface is pretty cool. It took me a day or two to get the hang of it. I still catch myself searching for some kind of default/standard “menu” option within each application - but even that I’m getting used to.
What I [...]

I’m a dork so I got an iPhone. My cell phone history goes something like this:
Some brick-sized clunker from Sprint a million years ago.
A StarTAC from Verizon. That phone was awesome. I had about four of them (one got run over by my truck, one was dropped in the Chesapeake Bay, etc.).
A couple of different [...]

Yesterday we got our laptop and I had a chance to play with it a bit last night. Pretty dang cool! It’s not the fastest thing in the world (I think it’s not quite as slow as my TiVo but it’s close) and it certainly has a keyboard made for child-sized hands - [...]

I’m having problems with my TiVoHD unit (second unit, same problems). After tinkering with things I finally decided to go to TiVo for help. While I was bummed to see that they don’t offer support via email (”at this time”), it was nice of them to at least come out and say it. [...]

There’s a new Computerworld article out about Rock Star Coders. Several folks at Viget talked with Mary Brandel, the author of the article, about the concept of rock star coders. Our connection to the “phenomenon” is that Emily used the term in one of our recent creative job postings. Overall the article [...]

We don’t watch tons of TV in our family, but we don’t totally avoid it either. As a technology guy I probably have more TV related toys than I can justify considering the amount of TV we watch.
My daughter, who is three years old, gets to watch a couple of shows here or there. In [...]

I’m pretty handy when it comes to technology but I also understand that there’s no way to stay ahead of kids. My grandparents never figured out how to set the clock on their VCR. I’m sure when I’m a grandparent my grandkids will know how to do things that I’ll have no idea [...]

This is pretty dang cool. I’m not how often people would actually manually resize an image by dragging its corner but certainly the ability to dynamically resize an image for different devices would be very useful.
It will also be interesting to see if people react to how these photos are altered. There is [...]

No, I don’t know the future of TV - but I have some ideas. When Verizon came out to my house a couple of years ago to hook up my FiOS service I think I started to get a hint of the future. Fiber optics all the way to my house! I did cringe a [...]
