I use an old-school tape adapter in my car when I want to listen to my iPhone while I drive.  I live and drive in a heavily populated area, and the FM band is crammed full of stations, so the FM transmitters do not usually work very well for me.  Barring removing my antenna like [...]

This weekend, I’m attending my second Dallas WordCamp, a local event that showcases not just the amazing WordPress blogging system, but things you can do to make you a better blogger, designer, and community builder.
I attended my first WordCamp last year and I had an absolute blast.  I felt very at home in an auditorium [...]

I really hope a fix comes out for this soon…I just updated my Apple TV to the new 2.4 update and reinstalled Boxee.  Boxee’s brand new alpha, build 0.9.12.6566, really doesn’t want to play anything from my four seasons of Farscape.  I’ve renamed the offending files, deleted my profile and reinstalled it, and still no [...]

I have been looking forward to push notifications on the iPhone ever since they were first announced.  I knew that programs like instant messaging on the iPhone would be truly usable then, because you wouldn’t have to “sign out” to do something like check an email or make a call.  It was a long wait, [...]

After almost two full days with the new iPhone 3.0 software, there are a handful of  things that stand out for me as clearly AWESOME…things I wish had been a part of the iPhone OS since the beginning (or at least the introduction of the iPhone 3G).

One of the main reasons I wanted to jailbreak my iPhone was to be able to scrobble the tracks I played on my iPod to my last.fm account.  I really love last.fm, both for the radio features and just to have a history of what I’ve been listening to.  I like to track my habits, [...]

I have to say, up until last night I wasn’t really that excited about the release of iPhone 3.0.  I was happy when they announced it some months back, and I knew I’d be happy when it got here, but I wasn’t so blown away by any of the features that I was jumping out [...]

I have been lusting after the Flip camcorder ever since it came out, and really, who could blame me?  I love all things techy and small, and the Flip packs a lot of features into a small package.  However, my Canon SD750 was proven to take video that is just as good, if not a [...]

An hour with the WRT610N, or How I Finally Have Decent WiFi
By Keith Shapiro
Back Story
Before the WRT610N, I had spent a grand total of $10 on wireless technology. If the adage is true, you can imagine that with what I’d paid for, I’d not gotten a lot. I did however, have a cheapy ZyXel P-330W [...]
