If only I could recharge so easily.
Living the San Diego lifestyle.
Visiting old ghosts.
So it’s finally happened. I bought a Mac. I’ve fallen to the dark side, bribed by the shiny glass and aluminum (and the semi-serious promise of cookies). However, once I get past the shock and surprise, I’m left with a new set of thoughts on computing, and where it’s headed. I’m not sure I fully subscribe to their line of thinking on this subject, but I must say, even if they’re ultimately really bad for me, these cookies are awfully tasty.
News regarding Apple’s iPhone tends to make like a flare. Lots of noise, a few dramatic explosions, but no lasting impact. Read: “antenna-gate” (see here). A few months ago, a pair of researchers working for O’Reilly found a database that contained detailed location data stretching over the past 10 months.
This story is interesting, though, and it’s not because it involves my favorite fruit. This story started long before this week, and it foreshadows discussions about mobile technology and privacy concerns that will only grow deeper as time goes on.
Behind the scenes of seidior’s shot. Amazing how common of a scene this is.
Man versus nature? Taken at La Jolla cove. Found this little eye-hook bolted into the rock. Reminds me of how sometimes, the only thing greater than man’s accomplishments is what’s just beyond our reach.
Every time I log into Facebook, I cringe when I see a red “speech bubble” over the messages icon. I’ve never liked Facebook messages—I find them an incomplete solution to a problem that’s already been solved. Now, though, I’ve got a list of reasons that I’d submit to you to consider when communicating over Facebook.
You may have noticed I’ve recently uploaded a few pictures to Tumblr. These pictures all have a few things in common: they’ve been taken with my cellphone with an app for Android called Retro Camera. This is part of a challenge to myself, but there are a few rules involved.
The internet is an amazing place, but that’s not a point that needs reinforcement. Every day, thousands of bits and bytes circle the globe. Information flows like it never did before. It’s possible for an idea to explode in popularity, gaining for an individual fame and name recognition. Anyone can be a celebrity on the internet.
Is “fame” really the right word for it, though?
