iPhone popularity makes it to Congress

Date July 12, 2007

Honestly, I’m surprised, and maybe I shouldn’t be. I found this story over at Arstechnica:

As pretty much anyone with a mobile phone in the US knows, mobile carriers don’t have particularly consumer-friendly policies these days. Two particularly frustrating examples are high early-termination fees and the practice of locking phones, both in terms of carrier [...]

Sony attempts to save E3, but fails

Date July 11, 2007

After my Microsoft and Nintendo rants, I didn’t know if anyone could change my thoughts about this year’s E3. Veronica Belmont hinted on today’s Buzz Out Loud, that the word on the show floor is that this may be the last E3. It’s starting to feel that way. Anyway, let’s talk about [...]

Nintendo continues the yawn fest

Date July 11, 2007

What is with E3?
First Microsoft, now Nintendo. Nintendo held their media event today at E3, and I gotta say, I’m disappointed. The presentation was ok as Reggie has decent speaking skills, but the actual content was my issue. Sure Nintendo is doing very well in terms of sales of consoles (even though [...]

Date July 11, 2007

Last night, Microsoft conducted a press event at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. I watched the event on G4 and streamed it live on bwana.tv.

Pro Powncer

IRC on the iPhone

Date July 5, 2007

Oh yes.
On my Blackberry Pearl, I had been using jmIrc to connect to irc and chat. This was one of the things I missed when I got my iPhone. Thanks to the fine folks behind Colloquy, I now can do this on the iPhone:

The trick is to use the Web [...]

Twittergram via Phone

Date July 3, 2007

Many of you know I am an avid user of Twitter, which answers the question, “What are you doing?”. Dave Winer, the founder of RSS, has been working on a new service called “Twittergram” which allows you to create audio files for Twitter. It didn’t really add anything new to Twitter except an [...]

Date July 3, 2007

Starting to use Viddler again. What better way to kick it off then to do a quick “MeToday”. Real easy.
