A Keyboard & Scanner All in One (WTF!?)

I received a press release from a company called “Keyscan” who is touting their all in one scanner and keyboard combo. This is, by far, the weirdest combo of peripherals since someone decided to integrate a printer into a laptop (really sucked for paper jams). The combo is $159 MSRP and comes in black or [...]

I Try a Jumpcut (FAIL)

In response to my rant earlier about how much I hate these Web 2.0 Jumpcut videos, I decided to try it out myself but a little different. My video doesn’t have any actual jumpcuts and is more “natural” Check it out.

Stop It! (Web 2.0 Video)

I am completely fed up with the state of video on the web. From here on, if you do a video that cuts every 3 seconds as you jump around the freaking screen, I will stop watching. I don’t care how much I love your videos. The whole thing where you’re over here and now [...]

Everyone would love to follow me on Twitter but doesn’t because I post way too much. In fact, while at the Mashable Monthly party on [...]

AT&T’s Response

A couple days ago, on my blog, I posted an open letter to AT&T Wireless regarding their expansion of the 3G networks. I had seen absolutely no progress, so I felt that the letter was needed, especially with no coverage in the closest metropolitan area, Ocala, FL. I wanted the letter to get around, so [...]

Stickering my MacBook Pro

After 3 months of living in San Francisco, I’ve given in and decided to sticker my MacBook Pro. With the help of the Speck SeeThru case that I picked up on Wednesday, it wasn’t too much of a challenge.

Software Makes The Difference

I am going to get some hell for this one. Windows Vista and Blackberry are the best for me when it comes to staying organized and getting more work done. Windows Vista is not as reliable as Mac OS X and comparing Apple’s iPhone and Mac OS to Vista / Blackberry is a hard sell [...]

Amazon is Undervalued

Amazon is doing some very awesome stuff on the web but the hype around their products is slim to none. I’m glad that Amazon has seen a little more buzz over the past few weeks but compared to someone like Apple, Amazon doesn’t even exist. I understand that Apple is doing so much with iPhone [...]

Why Native Twitter Apps for iPhone Fall Short

Lately, I’ve been raving about Hahlo for iPhone. I absolutely love this app but the one thing that keeps this application from being highlighted by every blog out there is the fact that it is a web app. Web apps only run on the iPhone’s web browser and don’t run as a native application. There [...]
