Although it’s a bit limited, e.g. creating links, I’m now able to post from my iPhone!
It’s not only “neat” from a technology perspective but blurrs the lines between blog and social networking site.
Almost a resurgence to distributed computing environmants.
After all, why twitter when I can post here, and why lock my data into [...]
I hope those who know me wouldn’t peg me as an alarmist. So take my title with a grain of salt but also, because of that same optimism, with a sense of sobriety.
I’ve followed “cloud computing” for a while (before it was called that), most often in the context of Amazon. From my position, it’s [...]
I’m a big fan of O’Reilly books, as I’m sure most of you are. They’re great technical resources for me and have cute animals my wife can really enjoy!
A friend of mine got Programming Collective Intelligence and recomended it to me, so my mother-in-law gave it to me for my birthday (yay, I’m old!). I’m [...]
If you’ve read my earlier posts you know I spend a bit of time following Amazon, both from a business perspective as well as my interest in the energy they’ve invested in webservice (SaaS) technologies.
I recently gave a presentation to discuss their offerings and wanted to make that available to anyone interested.
I build presentations that [...]
I seem to be having a confluence of technology issues recently.
Dreamhost, which I’ve loved until now can’t seem to follow through on a simple request (so that I can pay them!!!). And that 1TB drive I “gave” myself for Christmas has failed and the manufacturer hasn’t returned my service call.
To top if off, last night [...]
Having a “systems programming” background I’m a little green to this web programming stuff. It’s not that it’s incomprehensible, I’ve designed for these applications but I want to ensure I can implement some of the software components as well.
I’m beginning to really appreciate it, in part because the frameworks are so polished that I don’t [...]
I’ve been pretty hot on Amazon for a while now. No that’s not a stock tip, rather a statement of my amazement at their success and innovation as a company.
If you haven’t realized, Amazon has been branching out beyond being “a bookstore”, in fact they hate it when people contextualize them as such. You [...]
I wanted to post something relatively quick tonight, so here’s a bit of poking I’ve been doing. I’ve yet to get anything interesting with bluetooth between my laptop and my iPhone. That and I’m a pretty paranoid person so I keep the bluetooth turned off. However, I decided to leverage my paranoia to give me [...]
I intended to try my hand at making some videos for this post, but it didn’t happen after a day and I’d rather post out the experience while it’s fresh, then wait. It’s likely a benefit for you as well because my poor video skills might distract from the content, however “seeing is believing” so [...]
Brad has some great comments on my post about how software needs to extend beyond a single locality. I’ve yet to be happy with the “comment” structure of the blog’o’sphere, so I’ll follow Brad’s example and put my thoughts here, especially because Brad’s post and mine evolve the topic(s) rather then being follow-ups.
n particular, I [...]
