With the release of the Apple Magic Mouse, finger use is making a serious comeback! People around the country are finding all new uses for the “Two-finger swipe”. For those of you who haven’t been making it past Second base ( I’ve been hitting 1000 for the past year), the new Apple Magic Mouse will [...]

Moldover’s CD: http://moldover.com/quicklinks/buy.html
Featured in my “What the Ef?” post of the week is probably the coolest gadget since the barking hot dog cooker. Have you ever been listening to a rad electro or techno disc and thought, “Geewilikers, I sure would love to play along to this super song!”
Well, MOLDOVER has a surprise for you. [...]

Woot WOOT WOOHOOOOO SNOW LEOPARD IS OUT! That’s right kiddies, the newest OS from Apple is coming out tomorrow, 8/28.
Are you excited or what?!
Oh wait, what? Wait. So it’s just Leopard (OSX 10.5) in 64-bit?
But everything MUST be like twice as fast right? Oh. It’s 1.2x as fast?
Really? Oh. There’s a chart.

I missed this at some point, but just wanted to make a note of it.
Apparently Microsoft has discontinued those damn annoying little animated do-dads. God bless em.
This is probably the smartest thing Microsoft has done in 10 years.
I hate these little shits.

My newest fancy of a project is ThingsThatSmellBad.com. In the painfully oversaturated era of Tumblr blogs with basically no point but to entertain, I thought I might as well throw my hat into the ring. Enjoy.
Oh, and go submit your own sticky smells.

Google, you never let me down on April 1st. Way to keep the tech world on their toes.
Although I’m starting to think that something along the lines of “AIG Bonus Watch Widget” would have been a funnier April Fools addition to your technological arsenal.

Pursuing my usual places this morning I came across something an acquaintance had made. It was a terrible, robot voiced video that he seemingly made in a drunken stupor the night before. All courtesy of this site, XTRANormal, I had to give it a look. The online application was pretty amazing. You can write the [...]

I was leisurely IMing with my buddy Jon this morning and it came upon me to ask him to redesign my blog. He is more of a designer than me and I figured anything he could draw up, I could build in Wordpress. Well, his response was saddening…”perhaps” he said. Perhaps? PERHAPS? Talk about being [...]

The answer to all of the world’s problems was released last Friday, 12/12/2008.
Okay, okay, maybe not ALL the world’s problems….but definitely a lot of problems I encounter on a daily basis. As a Wordpress Expert (I recently dubbed myself this after clocking my third year developing on WP sites), I run into the occasional [...]

I recently picked up a G1 phone this last week. This Google powered phone, running on Android, has had some ups and downs in the pasts week. I’m still undecided about it. The features that work well are frankly amazing and things I’ve been waiting for in technology for years. However, there are some fundamental [...]

The 2nd Blue Beanie day is upon us. For those super-nerds, you know exactly what this day is. For the rest of you, here’s the skinny:
Friday, November 28, 2008 is the day thousands of Standardistas (people who support web standards) will wear a Blue Beanie to show their support for accessible, semantic web content.
It’s [...]

The most incredible widget cloud of aggregated data has risen out of an unlikely place. Sprint’s “Now” widget cloud, hosts more than 40 separate widgets that do everything from pong to population growth to current videos being watched online. While all widgets in this cloud feel active, only about 15 are aggregating live [...]

Oh how wonderful being a geek can be sometimes. After my personal discovery of the glorious iPhone app Pocket Guitar, I knew the beginning of the end of traditional music was here. I floored at this magnificent app and slowly realized there was company for this iPhone guitar on the horizon. [...]

Link: Spice up your inbox with colors and themes
Oh Google, you’ve done it again. Gmail release “Themes” yesterday, much mimicking it’s search counter-part iGoogle. I didn’t even notice it last night, but this morning received a nice little notification at the top of my Gmail.
The Themes are all really awesome, and it’s a refreshing change [...]

Google has, arguably, created some of the best pieces of cloud technology in the past five to ten years. And I’m pretty sure their reign of free, powerful tech is far from over. Especially considering the recent release of Google.org’s Flu Trends.
While I’m no self-acknowledging nerd, I have been called on many occasions by [...]

On my way into work today on the beautiful Portland TriMet system, I was flipping through recent news headlines on my phone. Plenty of stuff about Obama, a little about some international affairs, and a real barrel of shit in the Technology section.

While wondering around my Flickr earlier today, I found this awesome Flickr extension to Picnik. It seems, right underneath my nose, someone has developed a really nice online photo editing package. Picnik basically does what all those popular photo management programs (iPhoto, Picasa, etc) do, except this one is a part of the data [...]

DIGI CAMO
Camo sucks. It always has. I like it once in my life. When I was 14. I also smoked more pot that year then most people will in their lives.
Coincidence? I think not.

Digi Camo (Digital Camouflage) was a welcomed replacement of the military issued fashion. It made something that was totally unattractive into something [...]

Link: Gromada Hub Repair / Disassembly
I recently obtained some Gromada hubs from a former Portland area messenger. He said he knew the Polish man who made them and that he purchased them from him in Dublin last year. They were laced up with DT Comps to Velocity Aero rims, a pretty nice setup. At the [...]

iPhone + wordpress app = ultimate glory

So far it’s blowing my damn mind.

Seriously? You’re apologizing now? It’s so late, you just seem like a bunch of tools now. At least the evangelicals are sticking to their guns. Even if they are dead wrong.

By time Apple actually unlocks its iPhone and updates the technology to “current” technology, I’ll be able to move my whole music library in a few seconds…..AWESOME!

Then again, only geeks read my blog. Enjoy.
Also, anyone else think Spaghettification is rad?

I may be a super geek, but this is fucking radical.
Now I just need $20K in home theatre equipment to make it useful….and a desire to actually watch television.

MTV’s flavor of the week, actually wrote more than one song. Check out this vid before she’s so passe that she’s cool again. Then you can tell your friends you liked her “older material”
FYI, this song is so “interwebz” that it’s like the 4chan of pop songs.

Personally, I don’t really smoke pot. So it’s rare I would even mention it.
But apparently its the next penicillin.
