After being a longtime user of the Motorola V220 (yeah, super popular phone), I’ve finally upgraded to a new phone. At the AT&T store, there were quite a few choices of phones. There was the Blackberry/Palm collection, the 3G collection, the outdated Razr’s, and the supper crappy phone section. Considering I didn’t want a Blackberry [...]
Last Monday, I wrote about my new Macbook and its difficulty connecting to my 2wire 1800 HG wireless network. That same day, I received an email from an employee at Fon. He offered me a free router from them. I was really psyched for two reasons. One, it’s a free router that I really needed [...]
Just a few days ago, Ben Hummel and I made my third and his fifth appearance on the View Finder Blog podcast. This week, fellow RandomShapes blogger Jordan Chark joined us for a great 3 person review show. This weeks topics covered Safari 3, MacBooks, my new Incase sleeve for Macbook (as well as two [...]
On TechCrunch I saw a post about this new independent feature film being posted on YouTube. Being a film appreciator (and an advocate of YouTube), I had to check it out. I wasn’t expecting what I found. The film was amazingly well done, as if it had the backing of a large studio. The movie [...]

I read the book E by Matt Beaumont a few years ago. Over the last couple weeks, I reread it. It reminded me just how great this book was. You can pick this book up here at Amazon. This book is very similar to those books that are a series of letters except this book [...]
Earlier this night, we went out to see the new film 28 Weeks Later directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Today was opening weekend, and we got there late, but we actually managed to get seats with a whole row of people from Heights. I’m going to first dish out my rating and then talk a [...]
So I did my first podcast over the weekend. Benjamin, from The View Finder Blog and RandomShapes, invited me to join him and David Myers for their 3rd podcast. We talked about Facebook/Myspace/Virb as well as my Mac programs at OpenSoft Development. It was a really fun experience and a really good podcast. Be sure [...]
It’s tough to find apps that really increase your productivity on a daily basis. This is why I wanted to specifically talk about Skitch. Skitch is the newest app from the guys over at plasq.
