So I’m back in Richmond as of last night, but posting is likely to remain sparse today and tomorrow while I attend a conference for VOUG - the Virginia Oracle Users Group. The pluses, other than the intense and educational sessions I’m sure to encounter? Plenty of catered food included, carpooling with my [...]

An iPhone, I has one.
Sure, I’m excited about having the internet in my pocket, location-aware applications, the ability to easily access my Gmail account from my office, et cetera. But mostly I’m happy to be able to put my phone in my pocket again and get rid of that HTC Brick.
Oh yeah, and the [...]

Blizzard is developing Diablo III, and the nerd in me is about as excited as possible over this. I spent many hours playing the original, and even more on LAN games with my buddy Dave when we were roommates in college.
We’re both anticipating this next installment, and our wives are preparing already for some [...]
Textpattern
Tuesday, July 1, 2008
The nerd in me often has a desire to check out new web apps at least for a short period of time, and the flavor of my week is Textpattern. Textpattern is a blog-centric CMS which is PHP-based and open source. It was pretty easy to install, and seemed to near-seamlessly import everything [...]
Leave Internet Explorer Behind
Friday, June 20, 2008
John Gruber’s post covering stray observations from WWDC 08 has this interesting nugget:
The combined market share for, say, Firefox 3 and Safari 3 is larger than the overall market share for Mac OS X. Plenty of developers write desktop software that only works on the Mac — why aren’t more people writing apps web apps [...]
