PC Magazine has a summary of the first round of iPad reviews. As expected, everyone agrees that it’s a slick device, but won’t replace a laptop. I haven’t been particularly bullish on the iPad, but I may change my mind once the platform gets its killer app – I’m just not sure what that app [...]
Google’s not perfect, but they’re not evil
Published by February 19th, 2010 in Uncategorized. 0 CommentsI'll admit, I'm kind of a Google fanboy.

Site updates: mini-linkblog in sidebar and new “About” page
Published by January 14th, 2007 in RSS, Uncategorized, Web 2.0, Web/Internet and Weblogs. 0 CommentsJust a quick aside/update: My five most recent Google Reader shared items can now be found in the sidebar. Also, the “About” page, which had serious formatting issues, is now fixed and readable.
Yay. I’ve got WordPress running now and I’ll try to work more on getting things running tomorrow. But for now it’s 1:36 in the a.m., which means work time is over. UPDATE: I’ve got theme up, links, all posts from the old blog… Oh, and RSS is live. I’m getting closer! I tried to make [...]
