DailyTechTalk

On December 11th, 2007, I received an email from a producer named Brad; an early 30s filmmaker from New York who worked for a production company. Brad told me about a “Macintosh Documentary” he was working on. It didn’t have a name at the time and here’s the email I received:

This documentary is our first [...]

I’ve told the story countless times of my friend Liana and how a sudden illness caused a chain of events and now she is in the hospital being treated. By following tweets from Scott Bourne, it appears that tonight (Sunday the 19th) her condition worsened and she is now in ICU. Having told the story [...]

This is the first personal post on this blog in a long time. It’s extremely personal and I hope you or your friends can help me with this. My best friend mysteriously went missing on October 4th. I’ve been desperately spending my days trying to find her when I learned she was in the [...]

Who ever would have thought that I’d be posting one of these. I do post a thing saying “i’m too busy for this” about once every 6 months. It comes in waves, ya know. Anyway, traffic continues to be great for all four blogs but I’m doing some things behind the scenes and that’s keeping [...]

I was 1st on Google a long time ago when I ran MyPersonalGetaway but when I switched the name to DailyTechTalk back in July of 2006, my page rank hit the bottom and I had to start from scratch. My status as Adam Jackson that had been built up since 2003 was totally scrapped.
I’ve been [...]

Just received this in my inbox:
Hello adamjackson1984,
We at MacNN Forums would like to wish you a happy birthday today!

I’m still working on some super secret stuff but the commitment to the podcast has continued. I just completed episodes 3,4, 5 and 6 of the podcast. As most of you know, I’ve only released 2 episodes so if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, there’s still a few more hours of tech talk [...]

The cracking of iPhone 3G cases are definitely not an isolated case. I was scouring the Apple discussion forums for help with my pitiful iPhone 3G battery (-10% per hour on avg) and stumbled upon a, very active, forum on people’s iPhone 3G’s cracking. I first read of the problem over at Gizmodo and thought [...]

This is going to be an incredibly honest and open post about myself. Today, I was filling out paperwork which I rarely do and quickly realized that I have forgotten how to write. The phrase, “If You Don’t Use It, You Lose It” applies to me and my ability to write. As you all know, [...]

This is not “tech” related perse’ but me and some friends will be going to see The Dark Knight this evening. A larger portion of the film was shot in IMAX and although I won some tickets to see it on a normal screen this afternoon, I kept my IMAX tickets and held out for [...]

I wrote a quick blog post today for DTT but I’m not going to post it. It mentions some people that are highly influential in this community and discusses some wrongdoing on their part. Too bad no one will get to read it. Friends that have read it wholeheartedly agree but publishing something like that [...]

The new iPhone is right around the corner so I’ve decided to sell my 16bg model and Laura’s 8gb model for a profit on eBay and use the funds to purchase two new 3G iPhones on the 11th. I also took this chance to sell my one year old MacBook Pro. The profit I make [...]

I’ve been a member of Twitter for over a year now but I’ve been getting some feedback from people that don’t know my Twitter account. Seriously? Well, just so there’s no more questions:

Don’t email, Twitter, Message or Call me about today’s Apple announcements. I’m sad and bitter about the iPhone price drop. I’ll talk more about Apple’s new tonight on Justin.TV.
Mood: Happy. Steve composed another open letter regarding iPhone’s early adopters. Apple is working on a plan to offer all customers that purchased an iPhone prior to [...]

I�m planning on starting a personal blog. I know that DTT definitely needs more love and our own Sam Downie certainly keeps the main page running but I can�t turn DTT into a blog about my personal life. I�ve decided to start a new blog. I�m not closing DTT and it will continue to function [...]

I usually reserve all caps for things like huge product announcements and perhaps when I get engaged (not anytime soon I hope) but I’m very happy to announce something that I’ve looked forward to for a long time.
I’m now ranked #100 on Twitterholic. This is not an overall in the top 100 category but [...]

Every blogger should have an outlet to express themselves personally or should notify the reader that this is a personal blog / personal entry. I’ve seen a few sites that offer great editorials, reviews and news items that are exceptionally well written but there’s the occasional entry that says, “I got the iPhone and when [...]

I just love finding myself on Flickr. I’ve added all of them as favorites. None of these are from me but from others that have tagged me in their photos.

For years, I’ve consumed Smart Water. I saw Steve drink it as his water of choice during Apple Keynotes. When I was dinging at Cafe Macs (located at Apple HQ in Cupertino) I saw the familiar water that Steve was dinking on stage. It was called Smart Water and I began buying it by the [...]

A huge thanks to Abbi and the crew at FastMac for reminding us that it’s all about the community. Abbi contacte me last night and overnighted a bunch of iGot iPhone shirts for the camp out. I handed a few ofthem out and will hand the rest out later. Supposely, Fast Mac is sending these [...]
