Last year I wrote a tech new year’s resolution post where I wrapped up the year and listed my goals for 2008. I stated that I wanted to reduce clutter in my life in regards to physical possessions and digital assets. I think I have successfully accomplished what I set out to do. [click to continue…]

The in-the-works Janus Privacy Adapter is, hands down, the coolest piece of networking hardware I’ve seen (via hackaday) all year. The so-called Privacy Adapter has two RJ45 ethernet jacks and is intended to be placed in-line between your computer and Internet connection. After plugged in and given around 60 seconds to fire up, it anonymizes your web traffic through your choice of the Tor network or [click to continue…]

It is not very often I find a software application that saves me time, doesn’t require much work on my end and actually gets used often. GrabUp (free, or $20 paid account) is one of those applications that I value enough to purchase. The OS X-only application intercepts your screenshot command (Command+Shift+3 or 4, etc) and automatically uploads the captured screenshot to either grabup.com, or [click to continue…]

Ever since I started my Georgia Tech journey some 4.5 years ago, I knew it was going to be a Sisyphean challenge. I remember logging into the class scheduler my freshman year and having it automatically assume that it would take me 5 years to graduate. [click to continue…]

Amazon’s Simple Storage Service, S3, is quite wonderful. It’s cheap, secure and virtually infinite in storage capacity. Some people have begun utilizing S3 to host files for their website that would otherwise be expensive in bandwidth costs to serve from their own server. I actually used to host all static template images on this blog from Amazon S3 as I was under the impression that it would decrease load time considerably. [click to continue…]

Believe it or not, I have never used a calendar to keep track of events or anything in general. For one, I just didn’t have enough stuff going on in my life that couldn’t be wrangled by a simple to-do list kept on my (physical) desktop. That’s changing. I’ve moved from physical to-do lists to using Things. That’s one less thing always cluttering my desk. [click to continue…]
