AT&T’s new 3D browser experience, Pogo, looks very much like something that Apple would make. Maybe part of the iPhone deal is to let AT&T steal as many design ideas as they can from Apple to see if they can pull them off. Apple obviously thinks they can’t. Based on this demo maybe they have. […]

I just read a post on a Mashable (LiquidPlanner Manages the Unknown: Official Release) about LiquidPlanner. I just started to play around with it and I already see it being a great tool for planning and collaborating on just about anything.

My work laptop died yesterday morning. It was acting very odd on Friday (i.e. very slow and a lot of “not responding” going on) and finally yesterday morning I got a fatal Blue Screen of Death. My boot file was corrupt and I was up shit’s creek. I hadn’t backed up my stuff in months […]

Here is a article from Wired Magazine’s site explaining how to create a “personal back-up” of your dvd collection. Even though their ultimate goal in the article is to get the dvd onto an iPod, you can just skip the last step if that is not important to you. The key is that with their […]

When I downloaded Google’s Send To Phone extension for Firefox a few weeks ago I thought it was just a novelty thing. It ends up that I actually use it quite a bit. Whether it is to send myself a reminder or to send a friend a phone number or directions on the run, it […]

Check out this fun, though quite serious, parody of the iTunes music store. In a very clever approach, they make a pretty good attempt at dismantling the iTunes ‘we are fair to artists’ mantra. In fact here is a little info on how “Apple has removed the claim that iTunes is “fair to the artists” […]

I just read the word digerati in an ABC News article on DEMO ‘06. Based on wikipedia, it is a “portmanteau, derived from digital and literati” that represents “the elite of the computer industry and online communities.” I hate fabriacated words that make me feel woozy and initiate a trip to Wikipedia.
A while back […]
