There are very few websites that I pimp on mine because there are very few that I really fall in love with. I mentioned footnoted last week in relation to the Home Depot mess. One website that I have recently discovered that falls into this category is TechCrunch. Two of my main interests are tech [...]

As I’m sure you know by now, Apple introduced the iPhone yesterday. It’s basically a widescreen iPod with touchscreen controls and a phone built in. It has no keyboard, instead it has a virtual keyboard on the screen of the phone. It has either a 4GB or 8GB iPod built in depending on if you [...]

I use the TypoXP theme originally developed by Sunaryo Hadi. I absolutely love the original theme, but I wanted to make it widgetized. It wasn’t exactly an easy process with the way the right sidebar is constructed (there are actually two right sidebars). You may have noticed some weirdness tonight as I attempted to get [...]

I’ve written a couple of time on my love for Peanuts. I’ve written of my love for my iPod. A company in Japan has combined the two to do a limited edition Snoopy iPod.
I know I don’t have any (Japanese) readers, but I would be forever in someone’s debt. I would sing your praises from [...]

One of the things I hate about not having the Left of the Middle archives available is that many of my posts from 2003 and 2004 are coming back to haunt us. One of the themes that I had was the myriad of problems with electronic voting machines leading up to and including the 2004 [...]

Google now has a feature that allows users to call businesses that they look up in Google Maps automatically. If it’s a long distance call it’s free because Google calls you first then calls the business.
This is one of those little features that Google thinks up that no one else does. I use the Google SMS [...]

I have a DirecTiVo. Before that I had a Series 2 machine. You will have to pry my TiVo from my cold, dead hands if you want to take it from me.
Most TiVo owners are TiVo nuts. Outside of Apple, I’ve hardly ever seen a product have such an evangelical following. I’ve done it myself [...]
