No, seriously. It does.
I know. Any rational person would say, “But wait, Bron… wires and chips? How can they hate you? They can’t feel love or hate — they’re not out to get you.”
Lies. All lies.
A few weeks ago, I got TimeCapsule. I absolutely loved it. It took forever to run the initial back-up (160GB), [...]

As I blow dust off the blog, and clear out the cobwebs, I must apologize — it has been way too long since I posted anything.
Rather than nothing going on, I’ve had the opposite problem. ScribeFire (Firefox extension for blog posting) has 10+ draft posts waiting to be finished. There have been many tech meet-ups, [...]

If you haven’t yet, go vote now for your favorite Web 2.0 sites. I just did…
And now off to day 2 of BarCampLA 5! (Yes, sadly, there was no camping at this BarCamp… and even worse timing, the LA marathon is today so it may take longer than normal to get back over to the [...]

I’m at BarCampLA 5 right now in Beverly Hills at the AOL campus.
The sessions I’ve been to so far are:
Digital storage (Elephantdrive.com, CJ Little)
Twiddla.com (online collaboration / whiteboard space)
But the session generating the most buzz so far is Digital Lifeforms with Travis Savo (which I sadly missed).
While I’m not doing a presentation this time (but [...]

On Friday, I moved to a new desk at work. After a year and a half at my old desk (we move desks a lot, normally), I have acquired a lot of toys (every office needs Star Wars action figures and Nerf guns), magazines (WIRED, Game Informer, and Portfolio), and books. Mostly too many books.
Here’s [...]

I have a stack of half-finished blog posts I keep meaning to finish (no, really, I do!), but I think this one deserves priority because of the “wow” factor. =)
What is Sprout? It’s essentially an online WYSIWYG editor for flash that allows anyone to quickly create flash widgets (or as they call them, “sprouts”). Currently [...]

Rather than give my list of Top 10 Start-ups to Watch in 2008, I’ve been thinking about the importance of “going green” and technological innovation. It’s already 2008 — but what about 2018? 2028? My post on Black Friday’s post-Thanksgiving sales mentioned e-waste and our obsession with having the latest gadgets. How are we going [...]

Wrapping up my two days at CES and finally have a chance for a quick moblog (thanks to imified and gtalk for blackberry!)… The big two highlights for me were Texas Instruments DualView which allows two different videos to share the same screen (using special glasses so that only one view is visible at a [...]

After trying to hack around the built in blog-via-email that refuses to work, I decided to take a slightly different approach. I can Twitter via Gtalk (especially useful since T-Mobile has blocked Twitter)… why can’t I do other things that way too?
Enter IMified - “instant productivity”. A totally free service (for now), they let you [...]

Happy 2008!
The new year brings many new things, especially in technology, and one of the things I’m most excited about in 2008 is the relationship between music and technology. You can already produce a high quality record at home using a personal computer, and distribution is as easy as uploading to MySpace Music. If you’re [...]
