Tomorrow is WWDC…

June 6, 2010

…and boy do I have a lot on my mind before the keynote. So bear with me. First, let’s talk data plans…AT&T… For the iPhone: They’ve changed the plans to $15 for 200 meg and $25 for 2 gig. That’s GREAT! I love it! I hardly use more than 200 meg per month, so I [...]

Yeah, Jobs…it sure is just a hobby, isn’t it?

November 8, 2009

So, I updated to version 3.0 3.0.1 (Oh, hey, yeah…could you update one more time, please?) of the AppleTV software for their self-described hobby project/media center device. I do love the end to end, just barely skirting this side of an antitrust lawsuit, seamless integration that the Apple experience provides the end user. It just [...]

January 24th, 1984…

January 24, 2009

It was 25 years ago today that the original Macintosh 128 was released to the public. What a wild ride it’s been since then.   And here’s what started it all…

Another Macworld packs it in…

January 10, 2009

So Macworld 2009 is officially gone and done and with nary a blip on the cultural radar. Not due to indifference from the public, in fact, just the opposite. The public expects at times a miracle every year at the keynote speech. Apple just didn’t have much to discuss this one last time that they gave [...]

USB 3.0 is on the horizon

November 15, 2008

In between not working on the MySQL project today I watched the latest GeekBrief with the effervescent Cali Lewis. It looks like on Monday we’ll have the formal announcement of USB 3.0 with speeds that could start to put Firewire out of its misery. Not that I hate Firewire by any stretch. In fact, I’m quite the [...]

I got my iPhone 3G

July 12, 2008

It took an extra day, but I managed to get one. This time I was first in line. Lucky me. So now that we have this… Let’s ponder briefly what next year’s iPhone model will bring while I wait for all my music to load up. I’d say realistically (because a hardware keyboard just isn’t [...]

Getting an iPhone?

July 7, 2008

I sure am. Or I hope I am. They go on sale this Friday and I’ll be in line at my local AT&T store to pick one up, because going to an Apple Store in Portland really is too far to drive for this sort of thing. Of course, AT&T has provided a helpful guide [...]

Hello, it’s me again…

June 29, 2008

Contrary to what some may say or think, I do tend to keep somewhat busy. The past couple weeks have been no exception. Especially since I am preparing for my return to Nerd Prom 2008 this summer. I’ve tried a few attempts at creating a new entry, but none of them were really any good, [...]

Macworld keynote impressions…(screw you, Mr. Jobs)

January 16, 2008

It’s a day late, all thanks to Fox’s new 168 hours per week of American Idol programming, which is not soon enough for them thanks to the WGA strike. However…the Macworld keynote recap The good… Nice update for the iPhone and AppleTV. I sit patiently by my AppleTV every night waiting for it to tell [...]
