Beth’s HTC Incredible has been on the fritz for a while and it finally crapped out while we were conferencing-it-up in sunny Orlando. Tired of talk of phantom viruses and restrictive application download and install diets (I understand but despise CSRs habits of just making stuff up to send you on your merry way), we [...]
I have this weird disdain for music artists that build cult-like followings. I have no idea why, and it’s strange how this manifests itself in other areas of my life since I tend to be extremely brand-, friend-, etc. loyal. It probably has something to do with feeling left out when I don’t “get it” [...]
Simply the best. I look forward to the rest.
Sooner or later it was going to happen. The huddle breaks. The line sets. The ball snaps and passes from center to someone other than Russell. It’s a reality that came sooner rather than later.

Apple publicly stated in their introduction of OS X Lion last fall that developments in iOS led to new ideas in OS X (and vice versa). Now Google Goggles and Google Mobile’s fantastic voice [...]

That reminded me of this scene [...]
I’m not quite sure when I started reading The Sports Guy’s columns (nee Bill Simmons) or what the first column was about, but I remember an immediate gratification that eventually led to an obsession. At one point, it got so bad that I started printing out his columns, convinced that a paper copy was going [...]
Amidst quite a few exciting announcements during today’s WWDC Keynote, I felt a genuine moment of concern for the developer of one of my favorite iOS apps. It was during the announcement that the Safari Reading List feature would be expanded to iOS, inevitably sounding the death knell for Instapaper. Or perhaps not. He’s exhibited [...]
