Bitter on Twitter

I resisted getting a MySpace page a few years back when it exploded in popularity, because I failed to see how ugly public pages full of crap most people couldn’t care less about would enhance my social life online. Facebook was a much easier sell for me because I could get the best of social […]

Beginning to unveil the “super-secret” Web project

If you’ve been hanging around here a while, you may have got a few whiffs of a “super-secret” Web site I’ve been working on. I’m not quite ready to spill the beans, but I can give you a few hints.
For starters, I am a big believer in content aggregation. There are many well-established sites out […]

Ruby + Memcache = Geek Bliss

I haven’t talked much geek talk around here lately, so here’s a little tidbit for ya. If you are totally not into Web design or programming, just skip this post. Also, if you aren’t interested in Ruby on Rails, just skip…wait a minute! If you aren’t interested in Ruby on Rails, you better go get […]

Inbox Zero

I’ve been using the “Inbox Zero” method of e-mail management for a number of months now, and generally it’s worked out very well for me. My main problem is when I get lazy and start to slack off on making sure I actually get down to zero every day. When I leave things lingering, I […]

The Sword of the Spirit, Mac-style

I’ve been thinking I need to find a useable way to be able to do Bible study while on my long bus commutes, since trying to carry a big Bible around and hold it open when typing notes is pretty wacky in such a tight space. So, in a “duh” moment, I decided to search […]

Up close and personal: the MacBook Air

For those of you who are computer geeks, you’re gonna love this. For those of you whose eyes glaze over whenever technology rears its silicon head, feel free to skip this post.
The Seeing
I went to the Macworld Expo in San Francisco, CA on Tuesday. Apple announced several interesting things, including movie rentals through iTunes and […]

Only one week ’till the Macworld keynote!

For the computer geeks and Macheads out there, it’s less than 7 full days until His Royal Highness, Steve Jobs the First, steps up to the podium and wows the Mac plebeians with a new slew of fantastic, mind-boggling, and totally paradigm-shifting products. OK, so perhaps I’m exaggerating just a little bit, but for those […]

Duck Season, Wabbit Season, Huckabee Season

And if you know what that title is a reference of, good for you! I promised I’d refrain from too much politicking after posting this video, so please bear with me. I just thought I’d give some solid reasons why I’m a supporter of Mike Huckabee for President, and you may be surprised that despite […]

Apple is way more than the sum of its parts

I keep hearing all these pundits who cover Apple trying to find that mysterious, elusive, “X” factor that explains why Apple has become such a phenomenal success and an inspiration to a whole new generation of geeks and hipsters alike. It’s the rise of Mac OS X!…no, it’s the elegant, sophisticated design language!…no, it’s teh […]

New cat coming to town: Mac OS X Leopard

For those of you who are Mac fanatics, like me, you’re no doubt chomping at the bit to get your grubby little hands on the next version of Mac OS X: 10.5 Leopard. It’s slated to be released in October, and knowing Apple, I think they’re probably going to pick the evening of the last […]
