Google I/O day 2

Wow x2.  Yes, that’s Google I/O day two = wow x2.  Vic Gundotra wasn’t kidding when he had some more surprises up his sleeve at Google I/O 2009.  Wave was amazing to say the least.

Normally in these presentations you get the typical echo-chamber response to events.. lots of hype etc..  but this is really impressive.  [...]

Google I/O day 1

So I’ve finished my first day at Google I/O.  Man, what a day it was.  The keynote was great and I actually got to sit front row.  To see Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google no more than 20ft away was pretty cool.  Vic Gundotra was the most active of the speakers and I’d say the [...]

DemoCampVictoria #3 update

So I have a scheduling conflict.  I’ll be heading down to SF on May 26th for GoogleIO.  It’s Google’s largest developer gathering so it should be pretty exciting!  Unfortunately that means I can’t run DemoCamp Victoria #3.  I need people to take the reigns!  DemoCamp isn’t really *that* rigid or complicated, but to make it [...]

SEO eBook

SEO eBook

I’ve wanted to learn more about SEO and how it can help drive traffic.  I’ve managed to get my hands on the following SEO eBook.  I was expecting a lot of complicated details which were difficult to figure out, hard to implement, or otherwise take me more time than actually worth it.  I [...]

Don’t Click on Twitter Explained (sorta)

So if you are on twitter and you’ve seen the “Don’t Click: http://tinyurl.com/amgzs6″ status message, seriously.  Just don’t click it.  @apeatling was first on my list to state that it was a bad thing to do and it got me into investigative mode.  Besides viewing the source, I found a site explainin how all the [...]

iPhone Developer Meetup

Well, I just got back from the event and I’m now I’m sitting on my couch about to sum it all up.

About 14 people showed up to the event and everyone was contributing and the discussion never got stale.  We talked about a lot of things: IUI, provisioning codes, 3-inches of love (don’t ask), appstore [...]

Mac Battery Life

I was suggested to try out this program to determine my battery life on my MBP.  It’s quite cool!  I am looking for something similar for Linux/Win but nothing very interesting yet.

Excerpt from http://www.macupdate.com/:

“coconutBattery is a tool that reads out the data of your notebook-battery (iBook/Powerbook). It gives you live feedback, what’s going on in [...]

Asus EEE PC love

Rumor has it that Asus is going to release the EEE PC Desktop.  Some may think, WHY.. the EEE PC is an ultra portable laptop, why would we need something similar in the desktop space?

I’d say for those not wanting a giant box sitting under/on their desk whirring away, this makes for a perfect computing [...]
