I bought a second generation Apple TV back in October/November and I realized I never got around to posting a review. Here are my impressions after owning the device for a few months. Overall I really like it. When I moved back in October I finally made the switch to HDTV and it’s great to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s been ages since I’ve posted one of my supposedly-regular digest posts, but I’m trying to make time to get back into it. So here’s today’s digest of what I’ve been finding online in the past week or two.
I have released my Convore WordPress plugin as I think the functionality and stability is sufficient for a 1.0 release. I’ve applied to have it hosted on the WordPress.org plugins site but pending approval for that, you can download it from the wp-convore page on this site. Feedback always welcomed, although I am super busy […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I am slightly hesitant to post this right now as for some reason my web hosting is being slow and crappy. Nevertheless, I wanted to mention to the world that I’ve written a WordPress plugin for Convore. I’m pretty happy with the results so far and I’m mentioning it here and enabling the Convore functionality […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Internet at the local Starbucks has been unavailable for a few weeks which has motivated me to find uses for my computer when I’m offline. It’s amazing how much of the utility of my laptop is dependent upon having access to an Internet connection. In the spirit of making my computer useful when disconnected […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I was reading the anti-Facebook privacy driven Internet zeitgeist around the new Diaspora project. I’m not sold on the idea of Diaspora, a peer to peer solution for social networking. I doubt it will have any more success than Freenet and other similar peer to peer projects which haven’t gained traction. What is interesting to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I saw this statistic that 83% of Twitter accounts did not publish anything in December. I don’t think that’s a reflection on Twitter’s value or popularity. Personally I don’t publish much on Twitter but I do find it a great resource to keep my finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the sectors […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
