Since August I’ve come up with or have launched a number of side projects in hopes of increasing revenue streams so I’m not as busy during the school year. Unfortunately, I’ve left out one “minor” detail with these- a business plan. This doesn’t have to be in the form of an official, written plan that you’d submit for funding (but…
I wasn’t going to formulate any real thoughts on this. I am solely a Mac user so I have to wait a little longer to use Google Chrome, but after reading this helpful comic and giving it some thought, I can make some speculations as to what Google Chrome means for Google, and browsing in general. First, Chrome is a…
I’m a little bit surprised I haven’t written about Amazon Mp3 before as I use it quite frequently. My main grip about services like iTunes, the Zune Marketplace, Napster, Ruckus, and nearly every other digital music outlet is that their songs are protected by some form of Digital Rights Management (DRM). You can only transfer them x number of times….
The buzz today has been about Cuil, a new search engine that is challenging the current champion of the interwebs, Google. Pronounced “cool,” Cuil makes the claim to have indexed more pages than Google, and in a better way too! That’s quite the claim, and IMHO, Cuil needs to heat up a bit (sorry). Even though I am pretty biased…
For the last couple of months I decided to try out Google’s solution to online photo albums, Picasa. I had originally been using Flickr. I found that with Picasa, strangely enough, I didn’t have as much freedom as I did with Flickr and when it came down to it, Flickr was a much better web app. The transfer (from Flickr->Picasa…
Recently a couple of my friends got macs and have been asking me for tips. Another one is getting his soon and will undoubtedly also be calling me. I’ve had mine since January (actually six months this week) and I’m very happy with it. I also had some guidance from friends who’ve been around the block Mac-wise and were willing…
This is a continuation post from Google I/O Day 1. With a fresh perspective after the Day 1 sessions, I reworked my schedule to try and make the most of what Google I/O had to offer. The keynote for Day 2 was given by Marissa Mayer, which admittedly made me a little star struck. I read about her in The…
When I first got to Google I/O I made note of a few things. “It’s like 85% male,” “Wow there are a lot of smart phones,” and “There are a lot more Macs here than I thought there would be.” Of course, once I was all checked in, settled and the keynote started, I was nothing less than blown away…
A few weeks ago I made the switch from my longtime feed reader, Bloglines, to Google Reader. Bloglines has been growing stagnant, their new site has been in beta for quite some time now, and I feel like there were better features in feed readers out there. I’ve got to say I have been very happy with Google Reader. First…
Lately there’s been a lot of talk of Getting Things Done, or GTD. Lifehacker recently asked the readers about the five best GTD apps. My feed reader has also featured numerous articles on the topic of GTD; so in traditional blogging fashion I thought I’d weigh in. My best GTD ‘app’ is Google. Really it’s broken down into three different,…
