OK, so there is a great iPhone application out there called PDAnet. This application lets you use your phone’s built-in 3G and Edge capabilities and, through a wifi network, allow your computer to use the aforementioned to connect to the internet. I’m not sure how often this will happen, but if I want to use [...]

Tomorrow is the day of reckoning. The iPhone 2.0 system update is due tomorrow. There are 500 applications at the iTunes store, 160 of which are free to download. If I upgrade my iPhone’s system, however, I’ll most likely lose all my jailbroken applications, including Twinkle. The possibility of a downgrade to the old system [...]

One of my favorite bloggers and comedians is Todd Levin of tremble.com fame. I’ve sort of been out of touch with his blog recently, as I’ve been caught up in the world of beer bloggers (I read about 70 beer blogs these days). But Todd recently wrote a few pieces for The Morning News about [...]

TinyURL Firefox Extension is a handy little Firefox Add-On. You install it and then you can right click on a page or a link and you can make a TinyURL address. A tiny little pop-up comes up and notifies you that your URL has been created and has been copied to your clipboard. Pretty nice [...]

Don’t worry, no spoilers here. In last night’s 2 hour episode of 24, the CTU analysts use a 15″ MacBook Pro. Same as me. The tactical team looking for a terrorist on an airplane full of terrorists was getting his image data for visual confirmation on a Dell Axim, which is also something I own. [...]

Adobe recommended that I upgrade my Creative Suite 2 today. So I looked at the file that it wanted to download. It was an installer file that contained a program to uninstall all previous installer programs. Doesn’t get more confusing than that. Then the installer was successful, but that’s all and I don’t know where [...]

I’m also in Winter Park right now, doing a little bit of telecommuting. I think that Apple laptops, especially the new ones are absolutely fucking fantastic. I’ll probably never get a desktop again. I would also hope that they come out with the goddamn phone/iPod/Newton thing soon, with some real computer functionality. That way I [...]

Have you ever downloaded acrobat reader from adobe’s site? I just did. There’s a very small dmg file that comes in, and launches an installer. So then you click install, and it opens a downloader program to download from Adobe’s website. Next, once it’s done (22 MB), it opens another disk image thing, and then [...]

As I previously mentioned, I won a kottke.org contest. I’ve received my prize – a 1955-1978 History of Rock and Roll poster from historyshots.com. I thought it was the best poster they offered. The other posters weren’t designed especially well. Someone should let them know that it’s ok to use some photography in their posters [...]

I won a contest. Feast your eyes on this. More on it later.
