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. I link to these because they were written by folks I’ve known well by reputation/production (and…
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…
If you’re planning to apply for TechStars Boulder for this summer (2012), make sure you’ve got your application ready to go for the early application deadline in 2 weeks. It’s been amazing to see TechStars grow and thrive as it has. The experience offered to the teams and the quality of the mentors is remarkable;…
Ben did a good job – arguing against “incorrect facts” and ignorance (I’ll go with Hanlon’s razor here) is always tough. Especially in such a limited forum.
Is there a good domain registrar out there that offers DNS hosting and has an automated system to migrate all of your current DNS records to their hosting? Namecheap has the services I’m looking for, but I’d have to manually bring over the DNS records for the 85 domains I am looking to move. Since…
While the iPad *can* live as a stand-alone machine with iCloud, I still plug mine in every so often to load up photos, etc. As a contrast, the Kindle Fire didn’t even come with a connection cable (just a charger). I guess Amazon is backing up/hosting media in the cloud for me, no idea about…
If you’re a PathFinder user, this small bash function may be useful to you:
pf () { open -a “Path Finder.app” $1; }
It’s the equivalent to the open command that will open a Finder window to the current location in the terminal, but this wil…
Apple’s culture is one of making choices before products get to consumers. You get X or Y, not a choice between X and Y. That’s what makes the existence of iChat (text and video chat) at the same time as iMessages (text chat) and FaceTime (video chat) so… odd. When Apple launched iChat, it was…
One of the things I love about Google Voice is the way I can receive and send text messages from my phone, iPad and laptop. To borrow from “the best camera is the one that’s with you”, the best device for messaging is the one you’re currently using. It’s blindingly obvious that this sort of…
I’ve been using ShaggyMac screen protectors on my laptops for about 5 years now, and I’m a fan. The “keyboard marks” you see on your laptop screen are not scratches, they are the oils from your hands transferred to the keys, then transferred to the screen. The ShaggyMac prevents this, keeping your screen in nice,…
