It’s baseball season again, and in downtown Denver that means traffic and bad cell phone connections. We can’t do much about the latter, but be sure to use GameTonight for warning about potential traffic concerns. GameTonight is a single-serving site that answers “is there a game tonight?” and tracks the major sports teams in 1516…
I started the following post back in August of 2011; Sean’s comment on my previous post prompted me to dig it up. Now that I’m back to using a laptop full time, I’m right back to the old hassle of having my windows scatter all over the place when I connect and disconnect an external…
I’ve generally loved the move from multiple machines to a single laptop (that I plug in to an external monitor when I’m at my desk). A minor hassle that I have to deal with a few times a day is resizing windows that have been “adjusted” when I unplugged from my monitor. For example, my…
There was a pretty good tempest in a teacup regarding Readability over the last few weeks. While I’m sure I didn’t exhaust the available material, I did read the articles I linked above as well as a few others.

Turns out if you don’t have Pages installed, a .pages file will open up pretty nicely in Preview. Handy!
I’m a fan of iMessages the same way I was a fan of BlackBerry messenger when I was on that platform. Who doesn’t like free text messaging (without having to run a separate IM app on your phone)? The iCloud integration promised to deliver what I had predicted, but I’d never gotten iMessage delivery to…
For the last few months just about every time I do anything on my iPhone that uses Location Services, I’ve had that icon come on and stay on. I couldn’t get it to go away unless I turned off Location Services entirely; and even then it would come right back as soon as I re-enabled…
I saw this the other day when I loaded up the store – looks like a classic “CSS not loaded” view to me. Quitting and re-launching returned things to normal. I found this interesting because I remembered that iTunes didn’t use W…
