Having an IM conversation with someone in Iran, turns out they "hate" Bush...so random. But I had to reply, "that's why I voted for Obama" 7 hrs ago
Since Apple loves to come up with the best subtle enhancements to their products (i.e stacks) I’m going to predict their next awesome feature for the iPod. Similar to the iTunes and the iPod skip count both apps will now collect volume control. It will notice whether you like to turn the volume up for a certain song compared to the average volume pre and post song. It’s unlikely but I would love to have a smart playlist for “Loud…
I’ve been steadily moving towards this already but here are my blog goals:
“Actual Friends”

iWork 08
Yesterday I posted about Numbers and I shyed away from posting about the other two apps in iWork ‘08; Pages and Keynote because the only thing out of those two apps that’s worth mentioning is “action builds” for Keynote.
Action builds is a very cool feature and to have it in a presentation software makes me say “finally”. Keynote has had animations in previous versions but not like this. Instead of building the motion in another application like Flash or…
This has got to be the best review/article on the age old debate of Linux vs. Mac. The article is extensive but the conclusions on the topic mimic my sentiments exactly.
In the following pages, they lead a guided tour of the two OSes, paying particular attention to eight important areas: Installation & Migration; Hardware Support & Power Management; Networking, Web & Wireless; Productivity; Entertainment; Security; Working With Windows (because we couldn’t completely ignore Microsoft); and Stability, Backup & Disaster Recovery.
Which is the…
Well the wait is over for me. I talked myself into buying an iPod last night after toying around with it for just a few minutes and my experience with it for 20 minutes today at the mall solidified my decision.
 Yes, the iPhone does do what many other phones do already. That’s clear but it’s the how that counts. The simplicity may be a drawback for some (or at least one I know) but like the BlackBerry OS it’s almost…
I’ve used a couple managed voicemail providers in the last few months. My first provider was callwave which sent me my voicemails as MP3 through email and just like any voicemail added the ability to call in and hear the voicemail from your phone in a queue. A month or two ago I started using Spinvox after a hearing it briefly on a forgotten tech podcast. It provides voicemail like any other service with a call in queue but where callwave sends…
Awesome, Adium is saving me right now. 10 IM chats full of productivity and humor. #
I just noticed that Google setup a new nav.
What’s crazy is that they have some of their labs products thrown in there, eg Reader. Overall I like it because I use a lot of these products I’m just not too fond of having them in alpha order. Can’t they be sorted by relevance or use? This is Google.
I’m also surprised that users that aren’t signed into Google see the same thing. Not saying it’s unjust, it’s just not the same…
One of my tasks this week was to setup a web server for some sites currently hosted on the tragedy of the grid. I don’t want to talk about the (mt) grid since I’ve said so much about it before but to answer “why?” I’m still on the grid for production sites is, I’ve been too busy to migrate them and at one point I was going to put them on a spry VPS but my DB was too large for their…
