"Other developers have harsher words. "I am starting to not believe in the iPhone platform, and that is scary because I'm sure I'm not the only developer," said Justin Williams of Second Gear. "Pissing off the people that grow your product is not the most sound business …

Nerd Book Bundles For Sale

I really am trying to avoid all the political douchebaggery of the past few months, but I can't get past this woman that NPR talked to as part of a longer "discussion of race" in the election. It's frightening that these people walk amongst us.

I never thought the day would come where I actually enjoyed a Microsoft ad campaign, but these Seinfeld-Gates ads are engaging and fun without being overly cornball like most advertising these days.

I've been meaning to write up a piece about how I think the iPhone 2.0 software is the modern equivalent of winning the Super Bowl one year and then going 4-12 the next. I've never been so disappointed in a device after having such a wonderful experience with its …

Last night I watched the Comedy Central special of one of my favorite new era comedians Bill Burr. Burr is probably best known for his 10 minute off-the-cuff rant on the city of Philadelphia after being heckled by 10,000 drunken fans.

I really think that stand up …

Filter Political Beliefs From Twitter

Filter Political Beliefs From Twitter:

While I have enjoyed the periodic Twitter political debate over the past few months, with the DNC, RCN and vice presidental selections it seems that everyone with 140 characters to spare wants to use them to push their ideologies …

With all the news coverage of Hurricane Gustav over the past two days, I was reminded of the tornado that went through the Evansville/Newburgh area back in the fall of 2004. I was still up at Purdue, but always remember that after assuring me that everyone was OK, my …
