By far, the coolest thing in Mac’s OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is the integration between Mail.app and iCal.app, the natural language understanding of dates, times, and locations that merges the two.
When I get an email with a date in it, I can mouse over the the event’s date information (even if it’s the word “tomorrow”), [...]

Because writing comes rather naturally for me, my time spent blogging is roughly cut up into these chunks:
50% - Writing the article
15% - Hunting down supporting links

iPhone Application Directory
March 25th, 2008 ·
Recently I jailbroke my iPhone using ZiPhone.org’s awesome software. I installed a few apps and have been asking my friends which apps are the best to install as well. Instead of asking everyone a bunch of times, however, I figured it would be a lot easier to have folks add their list of apps on [...]

I’ve written about the flash-mobby nature of Twitter before. I think it’s important to note that these types of event are happening more and more frequently and with more and more ease.

Happy Easter everyone.
Usually, I’d be back in Ohio at my maternal grandmother’s house. This year I’m in New York (going back for my little brother’s play in early April).

According to Mike Arrington, there’s going to be huge consolidation in the professional bloggosphere, he wants to be a part of it. Oh, and because there will be consolidation and he wants to be part of it, he also wants folks like Alley Insider and PaidContent to stop raising money.

SumApp
March 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment
From the folks who brought you stu.dicio.us, you can now track and project spending using SumApp.
I’ve played around with SumApp this morning and it’s truly just a light-weight tool… but for some folks light-weight is exactly what they need.
