Mel's Hole
I know sometimes the news cycle is slow, but I’m not sure this story was really needed:
‘Mel’s Hole’ shrouded in mystery
I’m not sure Art Bell himself ever really believed in the existence of Mel’s Hole but it made great radio. Today, however, I’m not sure the story will get page views the “news” station is hoping for. But hey, all in...

Apple Flubbed It Today
Today Apple held a press conference to outline their latest venture: improving textbooks. I was genuinely hoping that Apple would do something truly innovative to education, but that was probably hoping too much. Apple, in fact, announced a lot of glitz, a new revenue stream for themselves, but didn’t come close to improving the textbook industry. I want to first say, though, that the new...

Microsoft Going GUI-less →
Very much long overdue. I can’t help but think this is a move to make it’s Azure product easier to use. Anecdotally, I’ve heard it’s a real pain to administer cloud instances of windows when you need to use the GUI for so much.

Facebook nits
I’ve moved away from using Facebook because it’s too cluttered for me. Too much sharing, to many different columns (though I noticed the activity window no longer shows up for me), etc. For some, it’s great, for me it became noise, and I deleted all my friends on FB except for close family and friends. I am looking at a better way to follow certain people you can subscribe...

What's Wrong With Bloggers These Days?
There are two main categories of blogs I read these days: Skeptical blogs and tech blogs. For the last two weeks it seems that both circles of blogs have been big on hype and low on substance. Page views seem to be the metric of choice to judge success, not on whether or not anything of value was added. In most cases, something of real value was overwhelmed by wild speculation, ad hominem...

Google TV
Enjoying Google TV via the Logitech Revue more than I expected. I’m not certain I could call it ready for my parents, but collecting video/music content from around the world of tv, streaming and satellite is not an easy task.
In any case, I’m very tempted to get a second one, but first I need a new switch. Running out of ethernet ports in my office!
Switching over...
Based on my wife’s success with her Tumbr blogs, I’ve switched my main blog over to Tumblr as well. I will move all my old content over to this new platform in time.
Ice Cream Sandwich Review
With the release of the Galaxy Nexus, there is finally an offically supported phone running the latest and greatest version of Android. I’m not going to review the phone really, because, unlike in the iPhone world, you have many choices for Android, and you should pick the one that is most comfortable for you. For me and my large hands, a 4.6” screen is no big deal, but for others,...

Facebook Doesn't Seem..Ya Know..Social Anymore
At this week’s F8 developer conference, Facebook changed their game. The kind of updates Facebook is enabling and streamlining are no longer true social interactions. They are bits and pieces of our daily lives that aren’t so much about being social as they are about cataloging yourself for Facebook. The new “verbs” only add mundane context to what you’re doing,...
