Apple’s War on Tech Specs

June 8, 2010

I’ve been meaning to jot down my thoughts on Apple’s continued assault on technical specifications.  There was a time where people really cared about *HZ (Hz, MHz, GHz, whatever) and RAM and cache size and blah blah.  Because computers used to suck.  Now they don’t.  Apple knows that we’re reaching a point of computing where [...]

Apple vs. Adobe (or Thoughts on Section 3.3.1)

April 30, 2010

This post started life as a voice memo on April 13th, a few days after Apple announced the iPhone 4 OS and unleashed the much bandied about section 3.3.1 (“no 3rd party development platforms”) rule in the new iPhone SDK Agreement.  Since Steve Jobs himself decided to weigh in on this point, I figured it [...]

iPad Thoughts

April 7, 2010

Yes, I got an iPad. No, I didn’t sleep out in front of an Apple store. No, I didn’t wait in line for hours. No, I didn’t plan on buying the wi-fi version on release weekend, but the videos and early reviews were too hard to ignore for someone like me. Everyone has chimed in [...]

Backup and Archive SDHC Cards

September 12, 2009

Continuing with my backup and archiving strategy, one of my goals was to get a grip on the growing number of SDHC cards I use with my video cameras; mainly my Canon HF10.  I’ve been ordering about five 4GB cards every couple months.  Besides being small and easy to lose, they are difficult to label and [...]

Setup Time Machine on FreeNAS

September 5, 2009

Update 11/27/2009 — As HarryD notes in the comments, FreeNAS 0.7 (which was still in RC at time of this writing and did not contain this feature) allows a much easier way to setup Time Machine using AFP.  See his post here.  I’ve not tested this feature in 0.7 and currently using the approach as follows. [...]

Fixing PHP Timezone Issue in Snow Leopard (10.6)

September 5, 2009

I always forget about my PHP development environment when I upgrade OS X.  Apple must think it’s really funny to make developers figure out what’s changed and how to fix it.  Snow Leopard brings us PHP 5.3, which apparently requires a value in the date.timezone setting or your code will produce warning messages.  Unfortunately, this [...]

Big 3 U.S. Automakers Must Contract

November 18, 2008

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a pure business-related post.  Maybe because I’ve been bogged down in petty office politics lately, or maybe it’s just that I don’t have an active start-up I’m working on, but whatever the reason I’m compelled to write about what’s going on with Detroit. I watched the Senate hearings [...]

Prior Art

February 25, 2008

Last Thursday I received an email from a friend, George Colombo, that pointed me to an article that Apple had filed a patent for “customized podcasts.”  I was immediately surprised and dismayed, quite frankly, because my business partner, Matt Thompson, and I had actually developed the technology (we called it Modcast) and implemented it on [...]

iPhone, 8 Months Later

February 17, 2008

It’s not quite been eight months since iPhone entered my life, but it’s close enough and I’ve been thinking about this blog post for a couple of weeks.  After only having the phone for a day, I made a few predictions that I felt would be fun to revisit to see if I should quit [...]

Life with iPhone

July 10, 2007

It’s been a little over one week with iPhone as my fulltime phone. First of all, when people ask, “What’s so revolutionary about the iPhone?” or “What’s the difference between iPhone and my _________ phone?” my answer has been, “Technically? Nothing. In fact it’s missing many features of your phone. But the iPhone is all [...]
