ASUS + Lil Jon = Crunk Tech

“ASUS is collaborating with Lil Jon to develop a computer targeting urban youth.”

First off, I have huge issues with the phrase “targeting urban youth”.  It’s such a loaded word, “targeting”.  Let’s not go down that road.  That said, I found it an interesting concept and decided to look into it a little further.  What I discovered [...]

iPad Release Day

This is a nerd post.  Feel free to skip it if you’re not interested.  Not that you needed my permission.  Hah.

This morning, I got the notice that an update was available for my phone.  There were apparently some problems with the initial release of Android 2.1 on the Droid, so it took longer than expected to [...]

Welcome to MacJournal

MacHeist is a thing, apparently. It’s kind of a big deal. I picked up the current bundle and hope that you do, too.

Why? Because I really want RapidWeaver to be unlocked. Seriously.

One of the quite good apps is MacJournal, from which I’m typing this blog.

When you are testing a microphone, don’t say [...]

A Surprise in Every Box!

Friday

Super awesome.  Left work, met wife and friends at The Med for happy hour.  Podcamp Boulder planning session next.  It was excellent.  numerous people that I deeply respect and completely adore were in attendance, including Jeremy Tanner himself (who planned the whole thing).  I threw two ideas up on the board to consider for sessions:  Workflow [...]

iPhone and the Problem with Images

There is a serious issue with the way the iPhone OS handles images. Specifically, images saved from email or the web seem to often save with unacceptable blur.

From a device that promises so much, which was created by a company with such a strong emphasis on art, design, and quality, this is baffling.

Yesterday, I found [...]

Tweeting Blogs and Blogging Tweets

Apparently there is some app or plugin available that allows people to publish their tweets into their blog as a bulleted list. This was clearly written both by and for people who have no clue what twitter is about. There is no number of tweets that = a blog post. Just as there is no number [...]

The Flaw with iPhone App Ratings

On the most recent versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch, one can easily search for and download applications. They are just as easily deleted when one finishes with them. Upon deletion, the device presents a prompt with the option to rate the deleted app.

Without deleting the app, however, there is no way to easily [...]

Let me save this

Ok, I’m trying the wordpress app for iPhone/iGod and In my first try, there was no save button. WTF??

I seriously had to discard the post. Let’s hope that was an [...]

Hokusai, Phil, and the Virgin

My wife put together a magnificent slideshow for me… for you.

MoBlog

I really get a kick out of the Internet’s propensity toward hacking, chopping, gluing-together, and otherwise disfiguring existing words to make new ones.

Blog is the chop-shop result of a Log of one’s life preserved on the Web.  Weblog.  Why 2/3 of the first syllable was cut off is beyond me.  Attached a chopped Mobile to the [...]

Scrolling Tabs in Firefox 3

One thing I’ve not yet read about, but just accidentally discovered, is that you can scroll your tabs (left and right) in Firefox 3.  I’m using a MacBook with OS X 10.5 (Leopard), and have no idea how well it would work on other platforms, but using the two-finger scroll gesture on the trackpad when hovering [...]

Photo Hosting

I have photos hosted on no less than 4 sites (possibly more). I’m counting my collective hosted websites as one, so personal and wedding sites combined. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into what to do about this mess I have, and while talking it out with a friend, I crafted my plans.

The beauty of iTunes

Wow, this is apparently my first post since upgrading WordPress.  The new interface is nice.

Alright, down to it.  I’m sitting in the main library (downtown Boulder, CO), and saw some shared computers in Finder.  I remembered that iTunes was open and that some people share their playlists, so I gave it a look and saw this.

Getting Things Done Rematch, Round 2: Software

I have determined that I need to use software to manage my projects. As mentioned in a previous post, the 105 GTD Software Apps comparison page is a pretty handy resource. At last it’s broken out by OS, so it beats the other lists I’ve seen. My investigation is specific to GTD apps [...]

Windows/Mac File Systems

This is kind of a simultaneous vent session and cry for help. I will gladly accept input from anyone who has some advice. I just asked one person via email and hope he’s got a good answer. If so, I’ll follow up here.

Ok, for any new readers, let’s preface this with some facts:

I’m [...]

New Laptop

I got sick of all the issues with my existing computers (iBook doesn’t work, Toshiba laptop is getting lines on the screen, and the sound hasn’t worked in nearly a year; and the PC is loud and slow) an got a MacBook Pro.

I’m just barely getting used to the keyboard, but there are unfortunately plenty of [...]

D40 + Linux Workflow

I finally placed an order for a DSLR a couple days ago.  I’m getting the Nikon D40 kit from B&H with the 18-55mm lens and 1GB of Lexar (the description said “twin pack”, or something, so I assume it’s two 512MB cards.)  I also ordered the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 autofocus lens (made in the USA!)  [...]

Firefox Extensions and Flash-induced crashes in Ubuntu

Ubuntu has a strict policy of including only free software in their distributions. Having downloaded and installed Ubuntu, nothing that wasn’t free was loaded. Things are easy to correct oneself, even to a complete novice, but the decision must be made by the user.

When I first installed the distro, as I mentioned, there was [...]
