Paying for my home videos?

The Onion - iTunes To Sell Your Home Videos
Apple is awesome.  I’m not usually ashamed to admit I’m a bit of a fanboy.  But paying for my own personal content?  Or having people I want to share said content with pay for it?  Not sure that will happen for me anytime soon.

Blueswarm.org It’s LIVE!

So after 3 days with only about 10 hours of combined sleep we have released our private beta of blueswarm.org. If you’re interested in checking it out send me a note and I’ll get an invite out to you. Or go to the home page and check it out. If you want [...]

pdftotext - Thank You

Due to the nature of my job I spend more time than I’d like making product pages out of PDF documents. Needless to say this process is quite tedious. The simple way would be to use Preview to open the PDF and use the text-tool to copy and paste any relevant text into [...]

Flipstart handheld PC - Windows Compatible

I was going through my feeds today and as I glanced over my engadget.com feed, I noticed their post on the Vulcan Flipstart handheld PC. I thought it looked a little thick for my taste, but did enjoy the ingenuity. Anyway, the post was enough for me to click on the gallery and [...]

Migration

I’m £1,000,000.00 Richer!

I can’t believe it!  I just received this email straight from the company that is processing Coca-Cola’s promotions.  I’m so excited because I didn’t even enter this contest and yet I won!  All I have to do is contact the ‘fiduciary agent immediately’.  I’m sure they will need some personal/baking information so that I can [...]

Web Standards

I have been doing a lot of reading lately on web standards.  I’m really beginning to appreciate them.  Creating web sites that comply with those standards is no longer a choice it’s a requirement for me.  Though I don’t always succeed 100% at doing this I try my best because I see value in it.  [...]

BT Moment

I have been using Bit-Torrent technology for awhile to retrieve various ‘legal’ files from the internet. But as much as people rave about it, I have yet to experience the real amazing-ness of it’s speed. Perhaps I have it configured incorrectly or at the very least it’s not optimized on my computer. [...]

Guy Kawasaki on Woz

Guy Kawasaki wrote an awesome post about Steve Wozniak (Woz) that I found really interesting.  He wrote a list of items that he liked most about Woz.  It’s a short but worthwhile read if you’re interested.

He knows what he is; he knows what he’s not; and he’s comfortable with both. (These are very rare qualities [...]
