As Kermit used to say, “it’s not easy being green,” which is why i thought these items were pretty cool…
First there’s a new Puma phone that was announced this week at MWC (the largest mobile conference in the world) and instead of trying to compete with iPhone/Android and trying to do everything it’s just a [...]
2009 was a fun year. I traveled to 42 cities, 4 countries and logged over 100k miles. I also found time to stay at home and do stuff. Looking back on the year, some things really stand out. For instance:
Up’s tear-jerking silent vignette. With each new film, Pixar finds some way to top itself. The [...]

Just was reading about Google Maps, specifically their turn-by-turn, and its impact on the maps market.
As many people know, there are 2 main players in the map market: Tele Atlas and NavTeq. Google licensed both of them for Google Maps for years. While they licensed, they also sent cars all around the nation [...]
In the Oct. Wired magazine they had a small blurb about things we’ll say to our grandkids. Some of the good ones were:
Back in my day, we only needed 140 characters
There used to be so much snow up here, you could strap a board to your feet and slide all the way down

Why no Android phones? I love Android as a concept but every time i hear about a new manufacturer releasing new handsets they are always on Windows Mobile. I went to Mobile World Congress this year and saw a ton of new phones from Samsung, Acer, Sony/Ericsson, LG and others. Every single one [...]

Phone Operating Systems
There were many new phones released at the show. LG announced 50 phones, Samsung had 22 more, Sony/Ericcson announced a new suite of [...]
I just downloaded the Wordpress iPhone application. I’m pretty excited because now I can do some blogging from the road. I’m not exactly how it’ll work. I’m thinking I’ll send the text up from the phone and then add photos once I get back to the computer
Actually I just took a photo for the post [...]
I had a Blackberry Pearl and loved it. I was planning to keep it – until i saw a friend’s iPhone. It was just so frackin’ slick that i couldn’t stay away. Does Blackberry do email better? Yes. Does Blackberry have some better/smaller sizes that are better for a cell phone? Yes, definitely. But is [...]
I think it’d be a good idea and it would interesting to see how far i go every day and how many calories i’m burning through. Of course the application would have to be running at all times which could crush battery life, but still, it’s a great idea.
An Ottawa paper suggested it and i [...]
Granted, i haven’t seen it in person or used it, but i watched the Macworld speech by Steve Jobs about it and let me tell you – the phone looks incredible. The phone looks awesome but more than that, it is over-delivering. Again, Apple is taking everyone’s expectations, throwing them out the window and giving [...]
