Google Fiber-Optic Service Should Come To Foster City

I read in Techcrunch today about Google’s plans to offer broadband Fiber-Optic service to select communities.  Google has requested that people offer submissions advocating for their communities (they suggest pictures, YouTube links, etc.)  I thought, what better way to advocate for Foster City (where I live) than a blog post.  :)
“Hey Google!  Foster City gets [...]

011110 – Palindromes are sweet

On a scale of 1to10, palindromes are neat and a little trippy. Since we’ve been talking about dates anyway, and my buddy Jim just brought this to my attention, I thought I’d share it with you. Today is January 11th, 2010. 01/11/10
011110
Sweet. I’ve always liked palindromes. For the uninitiated, they’re words [...]

The entirely non-exclusive and barely official unboxing of the Google Nexus One Android Phone

On a scale of 1to10, the Google Nexus One is a sexy bitch.  Sol decided to pick one up on the way to Vegas (he lost his iPhone in Kettleman City) and had a Nexus One overnighted to our hotel in Las Vegas where we’re staying for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES.)
This is our 5th [...]

1/2/10 – an opportunity lost

On a scale of 1to10, I deserve a 2. At best.
On January second of this year (about a week and ago) an amazing opportunity arose. My good friend Jeremy pointed it out to me. The date, January 2nd, 2010. Or, written another way: 1/2/10
So cool. Our blogging namesake there, [...]

The Bissell Spot Bot for pet stains…

On a scale from 1 to 10, I’m talking about cleaning up poop.
We got a dog recently, and adorable Golden Retriever puppy we’ve named Cash. He’s a part of this family, and 100% awesome.  But he’s got a weak tummy (or worms) and he’s lost control of himself a couple of times, both at the [...]

Is Facebook turning into MySpace?

On a scale from 1to10, I’d say probably not all the way.  But still, spam accounts are becoming more prevalent on Facebook.
When I first joined MySpace in 2005, it was relatively new, and allowed me to connect with a lot of people I hadn’t seen a long time.  Facebook was only available for college students. [...]

Best Buy Kiosks are rad. Right up until you freeze on the BIOS screen.

On a scale from 1to10, this Best Buy kiosk is experiencing a serious fail.
The Best Buy Kiosk is a great idea.  People like to make awesome, spur of the moment gadget and electronics purchases.  Those not least when traveling and on vacation.  Doubtless Japan has been doing this for many years.  Damn they’re on [...]

HG Wells, eat your heart out (or, my time machine is bigger than your time machine)

On a scale from 1 to 10, Time Machine can really save your bacon.
Mac has a very cool program that fits seamlessly into September’s theme on data backup and protection. Not September anymore you say? Well, things have been busy. Nevertheless, for those who haven’t heard of it (both [...]

12mail is the best way to send video to your friends from the iPhone

Disclosure: I am involved with the 12seconds team, and I work with the company promoting 12seconds and their technology.
Today 12seconds launched a new app in the iTunes app store. It’s called 12mail, and you can download it from iTunes here.
I know that I’m biased, being that I work with the company and all, but [...]

Redundancy = peace of mind, especially for data

On a scale from 1to10, I’m a strong believer in redundancy.
It keeps you alive when you’re setting rock climbing anchors, and it’s extremely valuable when it comes to digitally stored data. I have 2 hard drives inside my PC. The two are mirrored (RAID 1 – see the Wikipedia link above).  Briefly, what this means [...]
