My New Zune 8

I was hesitant to try and squeeze my collection down into an 8GB "best of" set of music, but the advantages are totally worth it. The load time switching multiple tracks in a random playlist seems faster here than on the hard drive based models. The battery lasts MUCH longer than my 30 GB model.  [...]

My New Years Resolution

I could say it's to work out more, pick up guitar again, code more, learn Spanish, blog more, etc, but the truth is that I needed a resolution that went up one level so I get more time back to do all that and anything else.  So my New Years resolution is simply to watch [...]

I’ve switched

No, not that switch yet, although seeing ScottW get a 5.1 on the Vista experience score on his Macbook Pro sure makes it tempting. I’ve finally given up on IE 7 as a default web browser in Vista. For some reason it crashes constantly on me. At first I thought it was the Web Developer [...]

Apparently the iPhone club ran out of cool people to "tag" in their little discussion about what pages they browse to most frequently on their expensive phones.  Well, since my phone has had an SDK for a lot longer than theirs I’m going to extend it to "connected applications" that aren’t SMS or voice.  Windows [...]

What I’m Reading and Writing – Testing a WLW Plugin

  I have a shared items feed from google reader, but I've been struggling with how to share that content more broadly through my main blog feed.  I didn't like mirroring my shared items since it felt like content stealing and I share more than I write, but at the other extreme I don't generally [...]

Is your company, web site, or business model ready for the smarter customer spending habits being created by data transparency?  The world of data transparency is one where anyone can access, slice, dice, pivot, and extrapolate on their own about your products is almost here.

Offline Google Reader

Here is a little glitch I ran into with Google Reader. I’m hopeful someone on that team picks this up, but maybe I’m giving their bug/idea search too much credit. The problem is that Google reader isn’t always ready to go offline.  Before my most recent flight to Dallas I installed Gears and tested switching [...]
