I read the flow of XMPP Twitter traffic with breakfast and in the evenings. I then scan it when checking email or if I catch a lot of [...]

I got my Twitter t-shirt today…

March 31st, 2008 · Comments

After doing my flow entries on Twitter I decided to take it to the people on the street…

A lot of people asked how to order their own… You can get one for $20.00 at reactee.com. They ship pretty fast. I ordered on a Friday and received it on Monday (today).
UPDATE: I signed up for an [...]

That’s all boring stuff… What is funny is there is a huge, stinking, pile of manure right at the rear end of the bus. It [...]

The tools we use - I’m not Scoble yet - I was

February 24th, 2008 · Comments

I’ve been reminded today about how easy life is when we use the right tools. My wife and I were out skiing and watching Spring Mountain’s Big Air Jam. I took pics with an iPhone and Canon SD-1000 and was blasting them straight to Flickr/Twitter. I was also taking video…

iPhoto, Flickr and Twitter - tie the last two together

February 12th, 2008 · Comments

I’ve finally made the leap away from being a directory-o-holic and landed in iPhoto from iLife 08. It does the organization automatically (”Browse Package Contents” in Finder.)
is working well as a good photo stream and album holder (using the Sets feature.) It works as a free backup service too ($25 per year for photo [...]
