As a writer, few things are more important to me than the tools of my craft. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I need my tools to work to their fullest potential if I’m going to be happy and productive. A pen that has trouble writing, for instance, will inevitably send me on an […]
I started this week expecting to be writing this post about how I finally pulled the trigger and bought Google’s latest Nexus 7 tablet, which for months I figured would be announced at their annual Google IO developer’s conference. After all, the original tablet was unveiled at last year’s IO, and these things tend to […]
It may not have made my official list of resolutions, but one of my smaller goals for 2013 is to be more frugal with my gadget purchases and to get the most out of the ones I already have. In other words: stop buying new crap and use the devices I own already. I was […]
Have you seen Google’s “Project Glass”? Or as I like to call it: THE FUCKING FUTURE!!! I could hardly believe what I was seeing as I watched the concept video for these “Google Glasses”. This is the kind of thing Science Fiction writers have been talking about for decades, and now we’ve reached a point […]
The last few months have been hectic! Not only have I been on the hunt for a new job (still no luck) and building a website for a local dance club, but as you’re no doubt aware I’ve been blogging pretty regularly. I’m not sure I’ve ever maintained a writing schedule this rigorous before. It’s been […]
A few days ago, I said I’d pretty much decided to get the new iPhone 4. My Android predilections, however, have gotten the better of me, thanks in part to Engadget’s lengthy review of the HTC Aria. I believe my future phone has been found!
My boss told me today that she’s getting a Droid Incredible soon. I have to say I’m incredibly jealous (no pun intended). As I mentioned a few months ago, I’ve been trying to decide what smartphone to get soon. I’ve pretty much resigned myself to buying an iPhone 4, but I’m still very drawn to […]
We live in the age of Facebook, and sometimes I question whether that’s really a good thing. Now I’m personally on the pro-Facebook side of things, much like the rest of my generation. I know a few people – generally older than I am – who see Facebook as just a waste of time, and […]
Every time I post a new blog, one of my hopes is that my writing will generate interesting conversation in the comments. I often enjoy reading the back and forth between author and reader that occurs on other blogs, so naturally I aspire for the same on this blog. And though I have occasionally inspired […]
As a longtime fan of Google’s many and varied products – from GMail, Reader, and Docs to their superb Chrome browser – it should be obvious that I’m at least somewhat interested in the Android cellphone OS. I don’t own an Android-based phone myself, but I’m certainly considering one. The only thing holding me back […]
