Earlier this week, Joshua Blankenship posted about Google Maps’ ability to easily retrieve a link to the current map.
Today I discovered another feature that’s pretty sweet:
In confirming the route/time for tomorrow’s trip to New Jersey, I noticed some text at the top of the side bar, indicating that I could drag and drop the blue [...]

Sudoku
Thursday, June 28, 2007
I have a tendency to wait until a fad blows over before I’ll use a product at the epicenter of the trend, whether it be a Nalgene bottle or cargo shorts (but I’m still not using chipotle peppers in my cooking).
I can’t say whether Sudoku has really “blown over” but it certainly doesn’t seem to [...]
All the Hype Money Can Buy
Tuesday, June 26, 2007
So it’s crazy how much hype there is around the iPhone - and even the word, “hype” seems to be a buzzword around the media these days.
Of course Apple is advertising, but sheesh, it’s certainly more the media building this launch up and doing most of Apple’s advertising for them, gratis.

On Friday Valerie and I hope to head up to Northern Virginia that we might cut an hour and a half off of our Saturday trip up to New Jersey.

They’re awesome and desirable, but there are certain limitaions (disk capacity) that prevent it from replacing both my phone and [...]

Seems Ryan Block at Engadget can’t take somebody calling BS on his “trusted sources” - or he doesn’t want to lose site views because people find out that he has a penchant for sensationalist pieces. Below, submitted for your approval, is the personal response I got to a comment I left on Engadget, before [...]

Yes, I’m an Apple fan now.
No, I’m not getting a first generation iPhone.
I AM, however, planning on heading down to the Apple Store in Short Pump on Friday, 6/29, around 6 pm. I may even survey a few AT&T stores, just to get an idea of the mania. Word is, AT&T has hired [...]
