Amazon’s New Universal Wish List

I usually point people to my Amazon wish list come holidays, but there's always been one feature that it's been missing to make it truly useful. There have been items that I've wanted, but that either haven't been released yet, or were not available on Amazon. Until today, you couldn't ...

I have figured out my GPS problem with the iPhone. When I'm at home running off my Airport Base Station, it thinks I'm in Stamford, CT. I have since registered the MAC address of my router with Skyhook, the company that does location detection via nearby wifi and cell towers ...

The single best month for music….ever?

There's a lot of good music out this month, there's more good stuff coming out this month than usually comes out in a year. They say that in economic downturns, creativity goes up. Maybe that's what's going on, regardless... I'm listening to all of this stuff: I didn't count MGMT's new ...

The iPad After a Few Days

My impressions of the iPad after a couple of days of using it. First off, this thing is a little heavier than it should be. I wouldn't mind having just one battery, with the ability to add on our snap in the additional battery. I think the limitation of only having ...

Ron Paul 2012?

I think that the neoconservative pundits underestimated the Ron Paul Revolution's staying power. Over the weekend, while I was working at a retreat, I walked in front of a tv screen and was pleasantly surprised to see that Dr. Paul won the CPAC straw poll. Immediately, the neocons in the Hannity and ...
