So, I was checking Reuters today . . . looks like the much rumored Google phone will become a reality next year. From skimming the article, I gathered that they’re going to make surfing on your phone as easy (or close) as surfing from your computer. I say, bring it on, Google. I just hope…
So, I’ve already mentioned my Nokia E61i phone. I still love it . . . I found a $20 data plan that will let me access Mobile Google Maps. Bottom line: If you have a Smart Phone and a data plan, get this application. Not just because it’s free, but because it is the most…
I knew I bought my Nokia E61i for a reason. I was expecting the included Wi-Fi to be a nice bonus, but now I’m really feeling the potential. Enter Trufone (www.trufone.com) and Gizmo VOIP (www.gizmovoip.com). These little gems of software load up almost effortlessly to my Nokia Smartphone (Symbian OS). I can now call anywhere…
It’s funny how this blog gets inspiration. My previous post about Google Analytics came from a referral from my brother-in-law. Well, this post comes from a referral I made back to him just a few days later. If you have a digital camera, you’ll want to try out Picasa (also owned by Google). Go to…
So, I run pretty decent statistics packages on my servers. You can get unique visitors and overall hits, average hits, etc. But, that’s always been a bit vague to me. I always wanted to know what’s happening to a certain page . . . . . . and in walks Google. I had heard of…
I wrote earlier this year about the EMI Record company releasing non-DRM songs and albums to iTunes. Well, it’s in full effect and many other labels are taking part. To learn about that, click here. I was excited, then not excited. I was glad to hear that the files would not be copy protected, but…
I had an old Pentium II 450 MHz desktop just sitting in the attic. I thought I’d fire it up and take a trip down memory lane to Windows 98. Well, all I got was a background image and it didn’t move on from there. So, I thought it was time for a clean start.…
Now, here’s a cool one. I haven’t had a chance to dive in (might edit this post later). However, check out www.tubesnow.com. If you are away from another collegue at work and need to grab files, you can set up a “tube” to their machine and grab and send files to each other. Great for…
OK, for years now, I’ve wanted to access my desktop computer from a hotel or otherwise when I’m away from the house. I think I might have mentioned AVVenu.com as an option (it’s still a great service for accessing files). Also, I could use Remote desktop through Windows XP, but my home machine doesn’t have…
Good Good Friday, everyone! I wanted to throw up a quick post about a pretty cool new feature (that I wrote about earlier) from TiVo and Amazon. It’s called Unbox and it allows you to download movies (rentals or purchases) to your TiVo. Sound pretty cool . . . it is – and somewhat isn’t.…
