Why I’m Not Getting an iPhone nor ModBook
The iPhone was announced amidst much hoo-hah last week at MacWorld. Those who know me know that I’m a gadget person but have been surprised to find I’m still using a Nokia 6100 phone – the same phone I’ve had for three years. Make no mistake, I’ve been shopping for a good integrated phone for [...]
Handwaving Hack on the Wii
About a month ago, Yahoo! had our quarterly internal Hack Day. Now that I work in the group that organizes Hack Day, I felt compelled to contribute a hack. For those that don’t know, Hack Day is when Yahoos spend 24hrs (or a portion thereof) to build some pet projects, typically utilizing Yahoo! APIs. The [...]
The Power of My Phone
I’m in Vancouver and my phone rings. I look at it and reject the call. You see, it’s my San Francisco phone and it’s roaming so I’m not about to answer just any call – especially this one. It was a call from the front door of my apartment complex in SF. My brother is [...]
Linked Into LinkedIn
Some people have been rediscovering LinkedIn lately. Whenever someone talks about this site, the same kind of things come up. For example, Jared talked about how it was like collecting baseball cards, which seems logical given that most social networking sites have the Pokemon effect (“gotta catch ‘em all”) but that’s the problem. If you [...]
Maker Faire 1 – SFIFF 0
I went to [Maker Faire][1] over the weekend with [Tantek][4] (and ran into [Nicole][5], [Brandon][6], [Leonard][7] and many others). We didn’t arrive until quite late due to a number of circumstances (including some protesting on [Bill 42][8]) and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. Not in the Faire but in myself for not [...]
At TED
Day two of TED conference (where I’m uploading pictures as soon and often as I can). This conference was meant to be the change of pace from the many design conferences I tend to go to. TED stands for Technology Entertainmend Design and has just an incredible speaker lineup (which I really can’t do justice). [...]
Webcomics and Weblogs
I’m sitting in BarCamp which can only be described as a major conglomeration of geeks. There are, and will be, some interesting discussions. Currently, the discussion is about _Blogging for Profits_. The more this discussion unfolds, the more I start to recognize that webcomics have paved the way. Sure, there’s podcasting and video and endless [...]
Online Photo Albums
A few people have asked what I use or recommend as an online photo tool. I’ve tried a few from Ofoto to Imagestation and investigated various photoblog systems as well as out of the box php applicaitons like Gallery. Picasa doesn’t quite count as an online tool but I still looked into it. So here’s [...]
Instant Message Organization
Instant messaging has become pretty common place now. As more people I know get accounts, managing the number of contacts starts to get a bit daunting. Trillian, which I mentioned earlier, helps maintain some sanity with their meta-contacts and merging of the four major IM protocols. Still, I don’t like deleting contacts (anyone that might [...]
Tools I Use, 2004 Edition
I have a lot of little applications that run on my machine. I thought I’d share what I felt are the best ones so you can try them. I’ve included key features that make me stick with them. ### [Trillian Pro 2.0/3.0] [1] – Instant Messsenger ($25/yr for pro) – aggregates all of MSN, Y!, [...]
