The New Screen Savers
Tuesday, 30 November 2004 10:30 P GMT-05
I'm sitting here watching the two new episodes of The Screen Savers on my TiVo and thought I’d share some initial impressions. For those who don’t know, the network G4TechTV produces this show and a couple of weeks ago they fired a bunch of the

Online Wishlists - Google goes up against Amazon.
Wednesday, 24 November 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
Back in the wacky days of the dot com bubble, I had this idea which I'm sure at least a few (thousand?) other people did to create a website that was basically about wish lists. I had an Amazon.com wish list (which I still do), but part of the probl

Oh the humanity! The promised nirvana of smartphoneness has been yanked from our clutches! Or so it seems.Just over this past weekend, a firestorm developed (A similar discussion over at TreoCentral was removed) over reports that the Treo 650’s

Big Media at it again - the Killing of TechTV
Monday, 22 November 2004 8:57 P GMT-05
Back five or six years ago, my then roommates and I got our first satellite antenna and one of the networks that we spent lots of time watching was a computer/tech/gadget-oriented "ZDNet." "ZD" was from Ziff Davis, a publisher of

Failed Food Products
Monday, 22 November 2004 10:29 A GMT-05
In a random remembrance moment I had this morning, a couple of food items that I really enjoyed, but only briefly, came back to me. It’s odd that I would remember such ephemera and I can’t think why I would right now except maybe for the added

Studying Weight Loss
Thursday, 18 November 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
Katherine from Low Carb Freedom has a nice piece on a recent study presented by Brown University that purports to show that low-fat diets are more effective at weight loss for the long haul. I saw this article yesterday but hadn't gotten around to

Vitamin E
Wednesday, 17 November 2004 11:46 A GMT-05
There’s been recently some news about how Vitamin E taken as a supplement might be bad for you because a study found slight increase in mortality in a group that took the standard 400 IU daily dosage. Laura has an excellent and detailed critique

Mix Tape
Tuesday, 16 November 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
I finally came across the first Meme that I had an inclination to participate in. Ben posted about it here, and I figured it’s something I could write up quickly, and it has to do with one of my favorite toys, my iPod! List the first 10 songs

TiVoLution and the Broadcast Networks
Friday, 12 November 2004 10:00 A GMT-05
There’s an interesting post by Eric McErlain over at Off Wing Opinion about TiVo and broadcasting networks intentionally trying to defeat TiVo’s recording technology. Like so many companies (especially content producers) faced with obsolescence

Firefox 1.0
Tuesday, 9 November 2004 10:44 A GMT-05
I’ve written some praises about Firefox already, but they have finally unveiled their first true non-beta release, Firefox 1.0. Unfortunately at the moment the site looks overwelmed by visitors, so try a little later if you can't get in right awa

Treo Vs. Sidekick: Sightings on Stage and Screen
Thursday, 4 November 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
Having owned a Sidekick for a while, I’m very familiar with it’s reputation as a celebrity phone. Danger actually does list celebrities as one of it's target markets! Personally I could care less who uses the phone I do, as long as it works t

Election Graphics
Thursday, 4 November 2004 12:15 P GMT-05
I love maps, and so have been fascinated with all the color coded maps that were used during Tuesday’s election coverage in the media. Boing Boing just posted a map by Jeff Culver that represented the states not as the polarized completely red

Elections and site problems
Tuesday, 2 November 2004 3:55 P GMT-05
I apologize to readers out there who’ve been tryin to get to the site over the last couple of days. Apparently my blog host, Blog City, has been dealing with Denial of Service (DOS) attacks because of the elections. They indicated that the site

Still no sync for Sidekick – on Macs
Tuesday, 2 November 2004 3:30 P GMT-05
While this story broke last week, there’s been no more news since and I’ve been wanting to throw in my two cents.T-Mobile still refuses to allow third-party developers to offer people the tools they need. It’s as if Dell were to lock down the

Hackers Vs. Big Media (with Technology Companies In The Crossfire)
Monday, 1 November 2004 11:02 A GMT-05
It occurred to me recently how we have this silly game between technology companies on the one hand and hackers on the other. The technology companies produce a gadget or software that is really useful, like the Treo, or the iPod, or TiVo, etc.
