March 30, 2008 · 24 comments

That’s the name of the award I will be honored with by Georgia Tech later this month. But now that my stay at college is winding down, what will I really do beyond the campus?

The Perils of the Anonymous User

March 25, 2008 · 37 comments

While I’m not quite sure that’s the most fitting title, I’ve recently been thinking about online anonymity in regards to web applications. In this time of social networks, social media, OpenSocial and what not, I find it a bit annoying that so many people go about using these social tools as anonymous users [click to continue…]

Review: MacBook Air

March 20, 2008 · 76 comments

I’ve had my MacBook Air for 15 days now. It has been serving as my primary computer and I have used it to do everything I usually do with my MacBook Pro.

Airport Express Goes N, Still Not a Linksys

March 17, 2008

Today Apple announced an updated Airport Express base station supporting the 802.11n wireless standard (technically draft n, almost a standard) that every other Apple product to date currently supports. Like all Apple gadgetry it’s sleek, somewhat overpriced and somewhat feature-lacking compared to other competitors

Snaptalent: Compelling Job Ads

March 15, 2008

I’ve always struggled with selling advertising on this site. I have tried some things here and there but most resulted in not enough revenue for the value they detracted from my site. Selling my own ads made decent money

Useless Has a Name: Alltop

March 11, 2008

There aren’t too many websites that irritate or annoy me other than the usuals; MySpace and the like. Unfortunately, I am adding a new site to that list today, Guy Kawasaki’s latest venture called Alltop. Since Uncov.com is no longer around, I will critique Alltop on their behalf. It’s horrible, or as they would say, [...]

Why I’m Avoiding AVCHD

March 8, 2008

Before heading off to the Detroit Auto Show in January, I bought myself a Panasonic HDC-SD5. At the time it was the world’s smallest 3CCD HD camcorder. I loved the form factor and that it was entirely solid state, writing everything to cheap SD memory cards. I didn’t take the time to think about how [...]

March 6, 2008

Ah, the joy of an impulse buy with a high interest rate credit card. I wasn’t really interested in the MacBook Air until I started reading about it more and more last week. Then I realized I lug my MacBook Pro around everywhere and I naturally just had to get the MacBook Air.

Nike Extending Plus to Gym Equipment

March 4, 2008

One of the main criticisms of the Nike+ iPod system is that it only works for running and similar activities. It won’t accurately track workouts on a stair-master, elliptical trainer, stationary bike and other such gym equipment. Nike and Apple both listened and have been working with gym equipment manufacturers to solve
