Welcome to my new home
So, over the years I had a few domain names that I called home, but none of them really felt like home. I think I got more excited that I found a domain that wasn’t squatted and tried to shoehorn my home into it, but instead I felt that the name didn’t fit and tried [...]
Twitter just lobotomized itself
One of the strengths of Twitter was the ability to see people that your friends replied to. For example: I follow Seth. Seth follows Brad. However, I don’t follow Brad. I could turn on an option that saw Seth’s replies to Brad. I like what they’re talking about so I follow Brad. There was a [...]
Warp Speed
Star Trek needed this. It’s unfortunate that the path of events in the past led to what could have been Star Trek’s demise, but the planets aligned properly and the franchise found its way into the hands of JJ Abrams and his crew to do what seemed to be impossible. This is the same team [...]
Newbie guide to Star Trek
I’ve watched Star Trek as far back as I can remember. Early memories of it are watching it with my dad when it was still on NBC, and watching it every day at 6pm on WPIX in NY. It was rare that any syndicated show would be on seven days a week, but Star Trek [...]
Chaotic Nerdy #1 – "Bunny Suit"
(special thanks to Renata for suggesting a fix for the Bunny Dwarf) The first thing I can remember wanting to do growing up was draw. I guess every kid did, we all had our box of crayons, but I was different. I didn’t have a box of 8, I had a box of 64 with a [...]
Twitter Trifecta
Ever since Twitter’s popularity grew, developers have been doing interesting things with the tweets that come in from it. Sorting, groups, threading, replies without having to type in the person’s username, and so many more have found their way to our desktop. Somewhere along the line, I found myself lost in a sea of tweets. [...]
Skype comes to the iPhone, but does AT&T care…yet?
At the crack of midnight, iPhone geeks on the east coast of the United States got their first crack at Skype’s official app for the iPhone. If you don’t know, Skype allows voice calls over the internet without having to use an actual telephone, the audio is transferred over the internet (voice over IP, or [...]
So say we all pt. 2
So it’s over. The best six years of television is over, and it ended damn well. It’s going to take some time to process the show as a whole, but they tied up almost every loose end, and left some things to what you believe. I won’t say anything more than it was a beautiful [...]
So say we all
Tonight marks the end of Ron Moore’s reimaging of “Battlestar Galactica”. I’m not going to sugar-coat this, I’m very worried about this finale. I could be patient and wait until after the show is over before writing a whole blog post about it, but something in my gut tells me that not everything is going [...]
Twingbats
Remember Dingbats? I don’t remember if I had it on the Atari ST or not, but I know that I used it a lot when I got my first Mac Plus. It was a font of nothing but pictures like stars ★ and chess pieces ♚ and music ♬. I don’t know the history behind the font, but the symbols [...]
