In an effort to blog more I downloaded the WordPress for iPhone app to see how easy/dificult it is to use. So far I am impressed by the features and responsiveness of the app. The geotagging feature is nice. I’ll try to add a photo from my recent Philippines trip next. The photo add from [...]
We are internet people; we are on the web all day long, whether it be on our computers or iPhones. That being said, we don’t blog very often (exception: Amand runs a blog, so all of her blogging energies go there). Our blog was a little dusty so when I ran accross Smashing Magazine’s new [...]
2001 – 2008 TiVo died this past weekend. It’s a little difficult to breathe, let alone watch TV. I’ve known TiVo longer than I have known my wife. He was like a member of the family. Like that jolly uncle that gives you bear hugs, movie recommendations and takes out all of the commercials of [...]

Twittervision is “A real-time geographic visualization of posts to Twitter.” If you thought that Twitter [...]
Some say that there is no true originality left, but sometimes this is a good thing (even though it may not be true). Mashups in the digital world are taking something (video, audio, graphics) that is already out there and combining it with something else in a different way to create a new work. There [...]
Something I’ve been using a lot of lately is Google Calendar. Amanda and I used to use Horde for our family online calendar, but now it’s just something else to sign into and keep updated.  Plus, the functionality is very Web 1.0. The first two months of the year we drifted along listlessly without a [...]
