My Bio Video

I have grown tired of the traditional About page with mini-bios of people. They always have the same format, especially in business. They mention where they went to school, whatever accomplishments (often exaggerated) they can lay claim to, and of course a list of companies they worked for. Maybe they’ll try to [...]

Seriously, what is the deal with Florida?

I know some may be offended by this, but I’m seriously wondering if trash moves to Florida, or does Florida make them that way?  According to Hillary Clinton, Florida is an incredibly important state, so this blog post will kill my chances for the presidency, but it has gotten to the point that I can [...]

It’s official, the MacBook Air is a dud...so far

I love Apple.  I’m a devout Mac fan.  I have an iPhone, MacBook Pro, Cinema Display, iMac, multiple iPods, Apple TV (first gen), and even an Apple Hi-Fi.  I have not used a Microsoft product in over a year.  I use Pages instead of Word, Numbers instead of Excel, Mail instead of Outlook…you get the [...]

Josh Lefkowitz is an ass

Have you ever posted to Craigslist with a legit ad only to have some ass-clown “flag” your ad for some unknown reason?  I don’t blame Craigslist for this, they have developed a system to let the community police itself. Unfortunately this has a Stanford prison experiment effect that makes some users think they are somehow [...]

The Wrightspeed SR-71

When I first saw the Tesla Roadster, I wanted one.  The Lotus styling, the Ferrari-like speed, the George Clooney - like social awareness….  It looked like the perfect sports car.  Of course Tesla has had their share of issues, and to get on the list you have to plunk down $100k and wait your turn, [...]

The New Indiana Jones Movie

I can clearly remember being 12 years old and waiting in line for hours to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.  Now 24 years later I got to bring my son.  Fortunately no real line this time.  Much like the feeling I got when I took him to see The Phantom Menace, it [...]

Using Blogo in WordPress

I’m always up for a good blogging tool, especially one that allows multiple platforms.
So when my friend Russ sent over the link to the TUAW post about Blogo, I figured it would be worth checking out. One of the items it includes is the ability to drag and drop images, which is great. [...]

Titanic and Traffic Become Child Pornography

In September of 1999 Patrick Naughton, an executive at Disney Interactive and one of the core members of the team at Sun who created Java, was arrested in Santa Monica for allegedly arranging an encounter with a 13 year old girl that was supposed to lead to sex.  But Mr. Naughton didn’t do a lot [...]
