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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve never been a huge fan of the widget. The rest of the world is. From desktop widgets to web widgets, people just love to play around with tiny little programs. It reminds me of people that collect miniature stuff. It doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s small, it’s cute [...]
Day two with the iPhone…
I went to a movie this evening to get out of my cave. I saw the new Die Hard flick. It was entertaining I suppose, but that’s not the point of this post. While out and about I checked out a few more features of the iPhone.
Now that I’ve had a day to get to know iPhone, here’s what I think is in store for us iPhone owners over the next six months. Most of these I think will be major updates that will coincide with the release of OS X Leopard.
