I just read an article over at Wired called Five Useless Gadgets You Should Throw in the Trash Right Now. Provocative right? The author, Charlie Sorrel, then goes on to say how Printers, Scanners, Build-in Optical Drives, Fax Machines, and Landlines are useless. While I can agree with most of these, he makes an absolutely horrible argument for each. In…
Those who know me know I’m pretty conservative. I’m a registered Republican and will be voting for John McCain. Furthermore, John Kerry didn’t win when I voted for him. So how on Earth did voting for him change my life? It was that election (or really after it) that taught me to think for myself. The 2004 election, as I…
I could go on to talk about all of the nuances in Android, what I have seen and why I think it’s better than the iPhone, but I feel that would be an exercise in futility. Those in the iPhone camp will think what they want about the user interface (UI) and features no matter what. That goes the same…
I feel like most people thought this would come earlier, but I’ve been busy and usually my friends will take the brunt of my ‘soapbox sessions’. But there have been some things that have really been bothering me lately. First of all, Joe the Plumber. To MSNBC: Your rating are so shitty because no one cares if Joe the Plumber…
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…
During the school year, I was very busy. Between running the business, TAing, and well, actual classes, there wasn’t a lot of free time. But I made due. I worked on weekends but made sure to take time for myself. I thought things would slow down a bit in the summer. No classes to teach or attend- just the business….
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…
I officially finished with the semester on Monday, got home from school yesterday, and am finishing up Bringing Down the House; so I think it’s about time to build my 2008 Summer Reading List. A few weeks ago I came across the Essential Man’s Library, which is where I’ll be pulling most of my choices from. Heart of Darkness by…
Wow. I just realized I haven’t posted here since the end of April. And really, I have some ideas for posts, but no time. I am in the midst of finals week, projects, and getting ready to go out to San Francisco for Google I/O. I also have some ideas for projects I want to do over the summer. So…
