Google nearly killed my friend!
Date: November 2, 2005

So I had a friend coming over to visit yesterday, and I had sent my address to her over email. Fortunately, I decided to go one step further and look up the driving directions for her using Google maps as well. Well, to my dismay, the directions given would have directed her down a one-way … Read More
Prod Review: Lacie Mobile Harddrive
Date: October 27, 2005
So as I wrote about in an earlier post, my Sony Vaio crashed last week and so I’ve been backing everything off of it using a Lacie 40 GB Mobile Harddrive. I choose the Lacie drive simply because it had the best price point, and frankly, I’m a sucker for gimmicks (he Lacie drive was … Read More

Apple paid tribute to Rosa Parks by bringing back their Think Different campaign and changing their front page to primarily display the a black and white photo of her. I didn’t even know about this until reading about it in CNet.

So I’ve figured out how to get delicious working with Flock – see earlier post – it seems that it specifically requires del.icio.us as the service name. I followed the following steps to get it to work. 1. Type ‘about:config’ in the location bar 2. Type ‘flock.favorites’ in the filter 3. Find the property ‘flock.favorites.webservice.name’ … Read More

Just started using Flock and I’m still trying to figure out the real need. I already have IE, Safari, Firefox, and even Opera for my mobile – i just don’t see why i need another browser. Sure Flock is trying to change the paradigm a bit by making it a bit more integrated with Web2.0 … Read More
Google Base

Wow – Google is moving at light speed and jumping into yet another market and making yet another potential enemy with Ebay (see Wall Street Journal Article). I guess the idea behind this is to have everyone add their info into Google base, which will presumably feed into Froogle and Google Local. I’ve seen some … Read More

Web2.0 repairs needed

In this article, the founder of Wikipedia admits to serious quality problems to one of the much evangelicasized (is that a word??) services coming out of Web2.0. I’ve questioned Wikipedia for a while now. Sure it is great to get a gist of a particular topic, but rather than gaining real facts, you’ll learn more … Read More
Hackoff or the Word?
Date: October 17, 2005
Categories: Technology
I finally got around to adding the Hackoff.com link to my site. I was reminded by Fred Wilson’s post which for some reason showed up on my Bloglines list today. I agree that Word of Blog is a very cool service, but I’m not sure if it can take that much credit for the attention … Read More
