What a powerful and loaded question that could be, eh? I came across a blog post on Geeks earlier, where the writer discussed this subject. He talked of the ways that social networking has changed his life. I can’t help but to sit here, and think of all the ways being so “out there” in the social media world has changed me. Have you ever stopped to think about this? How has being on Facebook changed you? What about Twitter and maybe LinkedIn? Heck… what about Geeks? What about you is different, now that you have incorporated all of these fantastic ways of meeting…

Does Pepsi Natural Taste Good?
4 Jul 2009 | 12:26 amAdd to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I don’t drink much soda, to tell the truth. I won’t eat or drink anything that contains trans fats and/or artificial sweeteners. I’ve been this way for about ten years now, and that’s just the way it is. It’s not that I don’t like soda - I just don’t like all of the junk that they are loaded with. When I heard that Pepsi was coming out with a new product called Pepsi Natural… made with natural REAL sugar! I had to try it. It doesn’t have High Fructose Corn Syrup, so it’s all… -
Lux-Pain DS Game Review
3 Jul 2009 | 9:22 pmAdd to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Once again, my friend Michelle is helping me out by playing a game and reviewing it for me! She’s a gamer - and we all know I am not. Michelle is an RPG fan. She says that Lux-Pain isn’t so much an RPG as it is more of a storyline-based game. You don’t get to go where you want to go, as you would in a traditional RPG. The story is interesting, in that it has to do with your world, and a separate world. You go around different areas, meeting different characters, and figure out what’s going on with the storyline. -
Is There More to Life than Gnomedex?
30 Jun 2009 | 11:58 pmAfter today, it feels as though Gnomedex is my life! I’m not complaining, though. We’ve been quite busy getting things ready for all of you to descend upon Seattle in just a few short weeks. We announced some ticket price drops today, in the hopes those of you hit hard by the economy may be able to join us. We’ve opened up ticket types, as well. I also wrote an in-depth blog post, answering some questions from a potential attendee. I certainly hope the answers I gave will help any of you who are still on the fence as to whether or not Gnomedex is a “must attend”… -
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Xbox Game Review
30 Jun 2009 | 11:09 pmAdd to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed It’s a good thing I have a friend like Michelle here in Seattle. She’s a gamer - and I am not. I like to play casual games, but I just never quite got into RPGs. It would be silly for me to attempt to give a review of one, since I honestly don’t know how to properly play them! Michelle’s been a gamer for years, and her specialty is RPGs. She admits to being hooked on Oblivion, although she does expect to spend quite a bit of time with this copy of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. She loves the fact that the game gets…

Chocolate Covered Grasshoppers
30 Jun 2009 | 7:50 pmAdd to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Recently, my friend Michelle had come to visit and help me with some video reviews. While she was here, she decided that WE needed to eat chocolate covered grasshoppers. I wasn’t too sure about this - and still am not! However, what you see is what happened, and both of our reactions. Michelle’s verdict is that they were kind of tasty, and not “buggy”. I still wasn’t too sure, I mean seriously - THEY ARE BUGS! However, I resigned myself, and ate one. She’s right, it wasn’t horrible. It’s… -
How to Protect Your iPhone / iPod
29 Jun 2009 | 10:51 pmAdd to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed While my new iPhone 3G S was syncing for the first time, I decided to talk to all of you about protecting your device. Why do you need protection? What if you drop the phone? I’ve done it countless times - it’s easy to do! Having a good cover or case can cut down on any damage the phone or device may have received. When I bought my original iPhone, I used an inCase slider case. When I changed to my iPhone 3G, I switched to something different. Now that I have the 3G S… I’m going back to my inCase. It’s…

Housing Mania In The Rockaways
4 Jul 2009 | 9:13 amThe house mania is still running strong in our region. After eight years of complaining about the quality, the location and the need for more housing in our region, there are still buildings and houses in just about any place, any how, any where and in any manner; garages below street level in a region prone to floods, or with no garages or parking space at all in a region where parking, parking, parking is most essential.

TechCrunch Founder Says Hardware Is His Next Venture

As I have previously reported Arrington has started a new company called Crucnhpad and is in the process of introducing his first prototype this month. His new Crunchpad will be a touch screen tablet device in which the user will be able to surf the web, do video chat and some light emailing. According to an article over at the San Francisco Business Times, it states that: “We’re going to make some really big announcements,” said Arrington, who predicted a prototype would be ready… -

ZDNet – Not Shrinking, Repurposing!
3 Jul 2009 | 9:24 pmWhen, a couple of weeks ago, the ExtremeTech site announced it would no longer be a functional site, but simply an archive of old stuff, I was thinking that Ziff Davis was on the shrink, due to the recession. I was sure that this was another company that was slowly but surely dying away, from lack of interest. Well, those of us who are on the mailing list for any of the Z-D sites got an e-mail a couple of days ago, announcing the new site that the company is offering. It is called smartplanet, and though I’m not certain what my opinion is just yet, I do know it is a step in the right…

The battle of the Hottest smartphones for this summer!!!
The Four Contenders Apple iPhone 3G S. Nokia N97. Palm Pre. T-Mobile myTouch 3G. Of all the smartphones recently launched and soon to be released, these four are the most closely matched -- and the most desired. Which one comes out on top? All four smartphones have large touch displays, slim and pocketable designs and updated operating systems (in the Pre’s case, a brand-new OS). The N97 has a matte backing and a sturdy body, but it's a bit bulky due to its slide-out QWERTY keyboard. I love the Pre’s glossy (albeit easily smudged) back cover and its curved ergonomic shape, but its… -
Sony Walkman Turns 30
Sony Walkman Turns 30: wonderful memories of the past electronic age . Introduced on July 1, 1979, Sony's compact cassette tape player, walkman launched portable electronics -- single-handedly. The Sony Walkman turned 30 on July 1, amazing as much for the passage of time as it is for the fact that the Walkman brand persists today in digital audio players and cell phones. The Walkman is at the top of our 50 Greatest Gadgets of the Past 50 Years list a few years ago. I suspect that even if Apple iPhone had been a contender then, I think the walkman would have won against the apple. Walkman… -

Geek Gear For A Roadtrip
22 Jun 2009 | 10:48 amWell, as most of you know, I'm getting married this week to my fiance Andrea and we are taking a road trip / honeymoon to Washington DC and Philly. So I wanted to share with you guys some essential gadgets and geek gear that I will be taking along with me to stay connected during the trip. Most of these involve my laptops and staying connected to the Internet and Wi-Fi while we're on the road. So essential #1 is:The LaptopThis is probably the most obvious essential for any trip. A wi-fi enabled laptop can be used at a hotel, coffee shop, and even in the car on the freeway (more on this in a… -

Its The Final Countdown! (to our wedding)

Well, I don't want to give you some lame excuses, but there have been some other things on my plate this month, the biggest one being my soon to be up and coming wedding on June 27th 2009 to my best friend Andrea. I'll refer you to my earlier post about us if you want to read up a little.So, I've been working on wedding stuff with her. I designed my own wedding invitations, RSVP's (see above) and programs, planned and booked our honeymoon roadtrip and helped her in any way I could (without getting in the way). So, we're in… -
New Dan Brown book The Lost Symbol is found!
14 May 2009 | 12:18 pmThe Horse has been following rumors of the new Dan Brown book since The Da Vinci Code came out in 2003. Back then, Dan Brown said that he had started working on a new book about Masonic Symbology and Washington DC. So, the official word is finally out, and the word(s) is The Lost Symbol. The date is September 15th and you can preorder from Amazon here at about a 50% discount!:What is the book going to be about?According to early rumors from Brown's website, the new book (now The Lost Symbol) will be about Freemasonry and the way it influenced the founding fathers, the Revolutionary War and… -
The Hunt For Gollum debuts online today!
4 May 2009 | 10:43 pmIf you haven't heard about the new Lord of the Rings "fan fic" film, The Hunt For Gollum, then you've been out of the loop. This was me Sunday when my sister-in law Hannah told me about it. (Thanks Hannah!) I felt kind of out of the geek loop. But I'm back!Apparently it has been in production for almost 2 years and was created on a budget of $3000 by writer-director Chris Bouchard with all crew and cast working for free! The film is 40 minutes long and made its debut at SCI-FI-LONDON film festival this past Saturday. As of today the owners have released the film to the public on…

Download Flash Video from Any Website
3 Jul 2009 | 5:53 pmDo you want to download a flash video? Are you having trouble finding a good program or plugin to rip flash videos? Do you want to know how to download flash video from any website? You’ve come to the right place. There are lots of programs and browser plugins that help you to download flash videos from websites. The problem is that they all seem to only allow you to do it from select sites. I found a relatively simple way to do it with Firefox and Firebug. Firebug is a great Firefox plugin for website development and debugging. I don’t know how I would ever get along without it. -
Build Your Own Amazon Niche Store
22 Jun 2009 | 1:21 pmGiven that I recently had some success with my free eBay Store, I decided it would be a good idea to put together a similar WordPress plugin for Amazon.com. I’m pleased to present the Amazon Niche Store plugin. So why should you consider building a niche store with Amazon instead of eBay? I believe that my Amazon Niche Store plugin has the potential to make more money than my free eBay Store (or BANS, phpbay, and the like) for a few reasons: If you sell eBay products, those that bid through your blog need to have the winning bid for you to get paid. With the Amazon Niche Store, you… -
Rotate Market Leverage Banners with the WordPress Affiliate Manager
25 May 2009 | 11:13 amI recently learned about Market Leverage from a friend, who has done reasonably well with their affiliate program. I decided to join, and upon joining decided to put together a WordPress plugin to help manage and rotate campaign banners. And thus the Affiliate Manager plugin was born. Market Leverage offers many different products, for which you can display advertisements on your blog. When people click on the links and order the products, you receive a commission. These transactions are referred to as CPA (Cost per Action). If the products are relevant to the information on your blog, such… -
Free eBay Store and WordPress Plugin
8 May 2009 | 1:16 pmI’ve been fooling around with the WordPress Plugin API, and I decided to take a stab at putting together a free eBay Store plugin. An eBay store is a great way to make some extra income with your blog or website, and you don’t even have to directly sell anything. You will make commissions on any eBay fees you generate. For instance, let’s say you have a photography blog and you are writing a review for the Canon Rebel XSi. You can use my free eBay store WordPress plugin to display relevant products right in the post! Here is the code you would place into your post (put it… -
Make Free Phone Calls Anywhere in the USA with Google Voice, Gizmo, and Asterisk
23 Apr 2009 | 4:10 pmI recently switched my GrandCentral account over to Google Voice. I fooled around with Google Voice quite a bit and was quite impressed by the many features. It took quite a bit of work, but I finally figured out how to set up Asterisk along with Gizmo to use Google Voice to make free telephone calls to anywhere in the USA. Last month, Nerdvittles wrote up a great tutorial on setting up Asterisk to make calls with Google Voice. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter Google Voice blocked inbound SIP calls except those coming from Gizmo. However, it is still possible to set up Asterisk to dial…

Discussing Disqus
3 Jul 2009 | 3:29 pmWhile we still dig the idea of what Disqus does, it is about time for us to reevaluate the necessity of it. To be honest, it was installed in an attempt to gain conversation. When conversation did not happen, it didn’t bother me that no one was talking, but it felt like we put this big honking new engine in a car that nobody wanted to drive too fast. This was the case until Disqus added a new feature, social media reactions. I saw it as a chance to ditch the plugin we were using to import Friendfeed comments and the like, but the update has not quite made it to our humble little… -

You May Have Missed These
11 Jun 2009 | 10:26 pmIn case you have been in a black hole, here is a list of stuff you may have missed: Google Wave It looks awesome, but a bunch of the features already exist with a combination of services (mostly Friendfeed). Bing Microsoft’s “new” search engine. The name will probably work better than the Live branding. Facebook Usernames In a move that makes it look like the last horse in the Preakness, Facebook will offer custom URLs. Verified Accounts Twitter just launched verified accounts. So now you know if that is really the celebrity you are drooling over for no apparent reason. I… -
Favicons Are Our Friends
27 May 2009 | 6:40 pmImage via Wikipedia Sure there are plenty of posts out there on the internet covering this same topic. For some reason there are still not enough sources. So here is one more. Favicon = is a small graphic that is associated with a page or Web site. (short for favorite icon, sometimes understood as favorites icon), also known as a website icon, shortcut icon, url icon, or bookmark icon). 1. Get an image To get that happy little 16 x 16 square associated with your site, you first need an image (16 pixels by 16 pixels of course). Bear with me and pretend it is a picture of a cake.

Life Sized Gundam Statue Finished in Tokyo - Geeks Worldwide Get Simultaneous Hard-On
2 Jul 2009 | 9:33 pmLife-sized… Gundam… Statue. What more could be said? That is a whole lot of awesome! On June 10th, construction of a life-size Gundam RX-78 was completed on Tokyo’s Odaiba Island Shiokaze Park for the upcoming 30th Anniversary of Japan’s most famous anime, Mobile Suit Gundam. This 18-metre statue was built with a moving head, hydraulics, and boasts 50 - count ‘em 50! - points of working lights. Unfortunately, this statue will only be around for a couple months, opening officially in July for free public viewings. After that, they tear the sucker down. So if… -

30 Jun 2009 | 4:44 pmZack Snyder’s “Watchmen” is finally coming to Blu-Ray on July 21, 2009, and with it is what just might be the most comprehensive special feature set, well, ever. Dubbed “Maximum Movie Mode”, it takes the idea of the director’s commentary to an entirely new level, in that the director walks into the shot and dissects the scene, literally giving a frame-by-frame explanation of how it was made. The highly detailed walkthrough plays like a tutorial, including behind-the-scenes video, prop and stunt explanations, and easter eggs (watch for Snyder’s cameo… -
Sony Walkman Turns 30, 13 Year Old Gives It a Spin
29 Jun 2009 | 7:52 amThat’s right. The Sony Walkman has been around for 30 years now, revolutionizing portable music forever by allowing aural connoisseurs to listen to whatever they want, whenever they want. In celebration of the advent of the Walkman, the BBC Magazine had 13 year old Scott Campbell put down his iPod and try living for a week as if it was 1983, when cassette tapes ruled the mobile music roost. There’s a LOT to recommend in the article, but my favourite line has to be… I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered… -
rgbFilter’s “OMG the World Is Officially Losing Its Mind” post, or, NAMBLA
26 Jun 2009 | 4:16 pmSo let’s see, what’s going on in the news today. Well, there’s Iran, Iran, Iran, garbage strike, Iran, Iran…Yup, seems like pretty standard fare. …Oh what’s this on the cover? Michael Jackson? Dead? STFU!! Yes, unless you’ve been under a rock, on a cave, on the moon, orbiting Jupiter, you know that the “King of Pop” suffered a fatal heart attack on June 25, thereby relieving the world of one of its most influential artists of a bygone era while simultaneously causing the entire planet to lose its shit. If you’re old enough…

Twitter Strategy in the Workplace
2 Jul 2009 | 2:56 amPreface: I’m not a social media expert, in fact I dare not even attempt to define the term “social media.” Additionally, I am not a Twitter expert. I regularly see guides on “How to use Twitter” and rarely read them. This won’t be news to long-time or avid users of Twitter, but hopefully it creates dialog about this medium and how it can impact your workplace. Overtime, methods of communication evolve. I don’t know where twitter will be in five years, but five years ago I didn’t foresee not having a home phone. Some may love this technology,… -
The making of a ringtone generator

The preview button is located to the right of the pan & volume. In late 2008 Coca-Cola asked Juxt to create a ringtone generator for their Sprite brand. The concept was fairly fairly straight forward, create an engaging rich media campaign for Sprite that would supplement and drive additional traffic to their under the cap program. The under the cap program gives participants a digital prize on their mobile phone every time they text a cap code found… -

Android Annoyances, Yet ...
16 Jun 2009 | 12:00 amI had the opportunity to use a Google I/O phone for about a week. I found a lot of things not to like about Android, but I'm getting an Android phone anyway. The I/O phone is the same HTC phone that is supposedly shipping later this month as the T-Mobile myTouch and is also known as the HTC Ion. It's a great phone -- rock solid hardware, quality touchscreen and buttons, a great shape for my pocket. Google's Android operating system is pretty good too. I had played with Android briefly before, but this is the first time that I'd spent any significant time with it. Overall, I'd rate… -
Ignore All Data
10 May 2009 | 1:23 am"Data eventually becomes a crutch for every decision, paralyzing the company and preventing it from making any daring design decisions." -- Douglas Bowman, Creative Director, Twitter (formerly Google)"We let the math and the data govern how things look and feel." -- Marissa Mayer, VP, Search Products & User Experience, GoogleThese quotes are from an interesting article in Sunday's New York Times. Marrisa Mayer is a very smart woman, so it's disappointing how dumb that quote makes her look. I don't want to jump… -
Does Mint Want Unhappy Customers?
7 May 2009 | 1:17 amImagine you go into a cheese shop trying to buy some cheese. You just want some Cheddar. You ask if they have it, but they won't tell you. Instead, they want you to sign up -- give them your name, contact information, bank and credit card accounts, and only then will they answer your question. OK. You do it, you give them all that information and then the answer is, no, they don't have any Cheddar, they've never carried it, and have no idea if they'll ever carry it. But they'll make a note of it as a suggestion. Sounds preposterous, doesn't it? Well, it's Mint.com, a site which touts… -
Ignite Seattle Looks Promising (and I'm giving a talk)
27 Apr 2009 | 3:51 pmI'm talking at Ignite Seattle on Wednesday. It's about UX, but it's pretty different than any UX talk you've seen before -- and it's only 5 minutes long. Here's the blurb: Worst Case User Experience: Alzheimer's When the time came to move my father-in-law into an Alzheimer’s facility, I approached the problem as I approach any technical problem -- I needed to meet the needs of the user, even if he didn’t know them and couldn’t express them. I crafted an experience (a UX) for him in his new home which meets those needs and I worked to make sure that the actual move itself did the…

Patrick Collison Puts the Squeeze on Wikipedia - How to Cram the Wikipedia onto an 8GB iPhone
2 Jul 2009 | 7:00 amThink about Wikipedia, what some consider the most complete general survey of human knowledge we have at the moment.

App Store purchasers of Collison's open source application can browser and search the full text of Wikipedia when stuck in a plane, or trapped in the middle of nowhere (or as defined by AT&T coverage...) Collison will be presenting a talk on how he did it at OSCON, O'Reilly's Open Source Convention at the end of July, and he spent… -
In Defense of Social Media (At Least Some Of It)
1 Jul 2009 | 6:55 pmScott Berkun just posted a great rant titled, Calling Bullshit on Social Media. I suggest everyone read it. Berkun raises good points - and I agree the hype around social media warrants taking a critical look. Despite being in general agreement, there are a few areas I can't abide, starting with this statement: social media is a stupid term. Is there any anti-social media out there? Of course not. All media, by definition, is social in some way. -

The Software Developer’s Bookshelf
3 Jul 2009 | 2:05 pmWhat books does a real software developer have on their bookshelf? I thought it might be interesting to cast a glance over my shoulder at the bookshelves, and list some of the more noteable books that sit covered in varying amounts of dust. It’s worth pointing out that no books have been bought in a very long time – therefore those that do exist have earned their place through various culls that have happened over the years. The books that remain have not been given away, sold, or lost. The Technical Books The C++ Programming Language, by Bjarn Stroustup (Addison Wesley) Peter… -

GUIDs and Unique Identifiers in .NET and C#
2 Jul 2009 | 8:28 amAfter working on a software development project making extensive use of UNIQUEIDENTIFIER columns in SQL Server (storing GUIDs), I had to learn how to interract with them properly – I thought a few notes for future reference might be valuable. Inserting Unique Identifiers If you are inserting into a table with a unique identifier as a key field, you have two options – generate the new GUID within the SQL statement; INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES (NEWID()); …or generate it in C#… string sql = "INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES ('" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + "');";… -
