I bought my iPhone as much as anything because I was sick of having RAZRs die on me, and I missed having a smart phone that let me easily access my e-mail on the go. I’m finding that I actually enjoy my iPhone a lot more than I thought I expected. It really is a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve been through a number of cell phones in the past few months, and when my most recent Motorola RAZR gave up the ghost earlier this week, I decided it was time to move on to something different. That something different is the iPhone 3G. There’s a lot to say about the iPhone. It really […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There’s a fun television show on the Fine Living television network. It’s called I Want That! and it’s probably not a TiVo season pass pick for anti-consumerism activists. The show is pretty much explained by its title – they showcase a lot of “cool stuff”. I thought I’d post some recent items I saw on […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For the past few years I have used speakeasy as an ISP. Although they are pricier than other DSL options, I don’t mind paying a premium for the excellent support and service they provide. A week or two ago my DSL went out. That almost never happens. I called Speakeasy’s 24 hour support line, but […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I saw this article in CIO Insight and I thought it was worth reading. The article is an interview with Anthony Williams, co-author of Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything.

I mentioned my personal wiki the other day. I thought I’d post a quick note about using it as a Document Management System. I’m horrible at keeping on top of documents, electronic and physical. Although I have a filing cabinet, I can never remember where I have filed my mail and other personal papers. I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I mentioned the other day that I am working on a People Keeper project. I know a lot of people and I am horrible at keeping in touch with all of them. Especially those that live out of the area. I’d like to do a better job. This is true of both my personal and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Quick observation. I have a profile up on a number of the social networking sites. The only two that I really use are MySpace and Facebook. I was late to the game in getting a Facebook profile, and only did so after prodding from my friend Sean Parker. But some interesting behavior has emerged. I’ve […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My desktop PC has 4 hard disks. One of them has been unplugged for some time, as it died a long time ago. The other 3 have been in use for a few years. Unfortunately, one of my data drives has failed completely and the other is on its last legs with a lot of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I use the excellent wp-amazon WordPress plugin to insert Amazon associate links into this site. Unfortunately the version from the web site hasn’t been updated in a long time and it doesn’t work in the newer releases of WordPress. In looking at the support form I found a link to this patch. I followed these […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
