I never wanted a Kindle or any other e-book reader. I love reading yes but I also love books. I love their texture, their smell, their weight, the way they look stacked on my shelves and my nightstand. I love the way books feel in my hand, so I never planned to be a Kindle [...]
I dig Apple’s iWork very much. I do just about all my word processing in Pages as well as laying out newsletters, brochures and other print documents for my semi-day job with it. One of the great things about iWork is all the cool templates that come with it. The templates in both Pages and [...]
The New York times recently published an editorial encouraging congress to pass net neutrality legislation. I encourage everyone to read it, but especially those who may not be familiar with net neutrality. Let me quote three paragraphs from it that get to the heart of the issue. Users of the Internet take for granted their [...]
I’m engaged and passionate about this presidential race. I believe we have an opportunity to elect a president who is an honorable, intelligent person who can do good things for our country. That’s all well and good but it kind of sounds like pretty rhetoric doesn’t it? Why do I think these things about Obama? [...]
As geeky as I am it’s kind of funny that I’ve never had a smart phone or web enabled hand held device. Until the past 5 months or so I never had even a hint of a legitimate need for one. B has had a Treo for about a year now and she loves it. [...]
Seriously. Like $5 a month, hell maybe even $10. It’s worth it to me. The internet seems quiet without Twitter. In business we’ve got lost opportunity costs we deal with and when Twitter is down it seems like we’re dealing with lost opportunity for interesting conversations. I like interesting conversations people. Get better please Twitter.
When my friend and I were first discussing the MT:OtherBlog tag I mentioned that it seemed to do the exact same thing as MT:MultiBlog. I couldn’t, and still can’t, figure out why there would be two different tags with redundant functions but it turns out MT:MultiBlog has a couple more bells and whistles than MT:OtherBlog [...]
That title is a little misleading because you can’t actually change the default font in Apple’s Pages. I find that very frustrating because I find Gill Sans to be much more pleasing to the eye than Helvetica. Although you can’t change the default font you can implement a simple work around that achieves the same [...]
The new templates and template structure in Movable Type 4 streamline and simplify the process of making site wide changes to your blog. Well that’s what they do once you actually understand the templates and template structure. But understanding how the templates work together and digesting the tag soup that swims in each of those [...]
There are a lot of new and useful tags in Movable Type 4.0. I’m slowly working my way through figuring some of them out and putting them to use. One of my favorites new tags is mt:OtherBlog. I actually hadn’t played with it at all until a friend mention his frustration with figuring it out [...]
