BarCamp is coming to Portland on May 11-12!
What is BarCamp? It is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment, with discussions, demos, and interaction [...]
I finally watched Loose Change on Google Video. Several people had asked me to watch this, and I finally found the time to sit down and take it in.
I love citizen documentaries like this (the power of technology), but was fairly appalled by the lack of professional documentary ethics - not naming sources in key [...]
My Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset arrived today, and after letting it charge up for a few hours, I put it through some basic tests. First of all, let me mention that the packaging is just gorgeous. Amazing package design work, guys. It reminds me of an Apple product, to be honest.
I currently use a Plantronics [...]
Ok, I have been tagged by two people this week for the “five things you may not know about me” meme - Allison Randal from O’Reilly Media and Nick Selby, a fellow 451 analyst. Check out the five things for Allison and Nick.
My five things:
#1: I was struck by lightning.

Oh boy. I am so tired of computer problems. I am writing this blog entry from my wife’s MacBook, as I am currently without a working computer. Blogging about my computer problems is a bit cathartic. You may remember my entry from early October entitled, “My four-day ordeal with 10.4.8.” I spent 28 hours over [...]

I found about 20 emails that were legitimate. Was it worth the effort? Probably not. Most of the messages were order confirmations, but [...]
I am retiring my moblog hosted at Blogger. Why? Flickr is working just great from my phone, thank to ShoZu. The built-in Blogger integration on my Sony Ericsson K790a phone isn’t any better than using the ShoZu client to upload directly to Flickr. It is a pain uploading to two places and Flickr is the [...]
Since Saturday morning, I have been without a computer. I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mac OS X 10.4.8 and after rebooting, I had a kernel panic. I rebooted again - another kernel panic. I was hosed. During the weekend, I tried various reinstallation techniques, but my install DVD kept hanging at various parts of [...]
