Introducing Simple Spark

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t been blogging much lately, I finally can show you why. Jon and I have been working for many months and are happy to finally pull the curtain back on our project. Introducing Simple Spark, a great place to find and share a new world of web apps or, [...]

Football, the Song

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

I don’t really know much about or watch football, but I can only assume it’s just like this, courtesy g33f. Enjoy the game if that’s your thing and if it’s not, it’s a good day to hit up Disneyland for some rolly coaster goodness.

Ze Frank’s Heading to Hollywood

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007

The best television I’ve watched all year was entirely on my computer in the magnificent form of Ze Frank’s The Show. In March of 2006, Ze committed to doing The Show for a full year. As The Show’s second March approaches, I’ve been waiting to hear what’s next for Ze. The Observer brings us some [...]

“Cyber Monday” is a Lie

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

It’s unfortunate the press has decided to repeat “Cyber Monday” over and over without an ounce of research. If they did their homework, they would find that it’s nothing more than some marketers wet dream. While “black friday” may be the craziest shopping day of the year (which I refer to as “stay home and [...]

“Guitar Hero is proof that the Nintendo Wii will succeed”

Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006

The quote that is the title of this post is from a recent podcast by Next Generation. If you’ve listened to gaming podcasts and found yourself disappointed with adolescent rambling and homo-phobic jokes coming out of the mouths of supposed professionals, the Next Generation podcast is a refreshing change with well-spoken conversation about the current [...]

Zune Missteps

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

I was fairly excited to see Microsoft get into the portable music space (unlike it’s hardware partners) mainly because Apple should get some serious competition to keep them on their toes, but thus far Zune looks like a list of dopey mistakes. “Plays for Sure” to Become an Embarrassment? For starters, Zune will not play [...]

In all seriousness,
I’m not dead or anything

Friday, September 15th, 2006

So, the millionth person asked me why I haven’t blogged in forever and it became clear how in this age that six weeks now equals “forever” (and I find that I can’t disagree). So, my apologies. I’ve been juggling new work responsibilities along with the usual changes that life brings. I’ll try my best to [...]

Meet Our Emerging Nerd Leader

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

At the age of three, this kid not only likes to watch The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on a nightly basis, he decided to have a NewsHour themed birthday party. Clearly this kid is some sort of emerging nerd leader that we will all follow into some sort of nerd battle some day.

Technorati Hooks up with the Associated Press

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Technorati and the Associated Press are hooking up with a little partnership. Does this mean that when AP reporters rip off bloggers that the bloggers will actually get credit? Maybe, but don’t hold your breath.
