So I have this server I screw around with, throw XDA-types some free bandwidth and learn how to handle heavy traffic and to administer Linux, to experiment with tweaks before I drop them on this site (like the stock quote widget), this and that. It’s my digital mancave. The other day I log in to [...]

What’s the matter with these you-know-whats over there in Korea? Google handed them the torch last year to make the flagship Google phone, THE Google phone, the Nexus S, and don’t get me wrong, fantastic phone, but ho-lee-crap did they drop the ball on the batter lid cover thing. A pain to get off, you [...]

I’m reading WMPowerUser last night (big fan), I see Surur ripping on the Android ICS update being hellish. So hellish in fact that the NoDo fiasco looks heavenly. Next up on my RSS scrolling medley is some comScore thing showing Windows Phone no longer going sideways but now losing more and more market share. Surur’s post and the commenting volume suddenly made more sense to me, the WinPho crowd’s obsession with ripping on Android [...]

Still hanging onto that unlimited data plan? Bad news champ, this ain’t your grandfather’s data plan anymore. If you are in the top 5% of AT&T’s data users, you will get throttled down if you don’t curb your usage enough in your next billing cycle. According to Bill Palmer at Beatweek, whatever the top 5% [...]

Surur of WMPoweruser just ran a review on another one of these Windows Phone GPS apps. Looks okay I suppose, the usual features you’d expect from another one of these things. It would get the job done based on his review, but it ain’t no Google Maps Navigation, that’s for sure. I wanted to go on Surur’s article thread and ask about other GPS options for WinPho but I can’t because

You get what you pay for, right? Then why would anyone go to Newegg and grab an HDMI cable for three bucks when Best Buy’s selling three feet of Direct-Silver-plated perfection for a cool $1095.99? Got your attention now big guy? Well sorry chief, they’re sold out! [...]

Had a little fun in Starbucks with some software you sure won’t find on the App Store, DroidSheep, FaceSniff and WifiKill. I think you need some sort of personality disorder to fully appreciate them, but they do have some nerd value so let’s take them for a spin. [...]

Man, writer’s block already? Looking at the title I just typed I’m now realizing this article is going to be pretty tricky unless I’m completely tongue-in-cheek about it. If any of you are in the mood for a challenge, let’s see if we can try to defend Blackberries and their general value to society. Hmm. [...]

I ride the train, flipping through my phone until my thumb knuckle starts hurting (is that normal?), then glide from the actual train onto to a figurative express train of thought, the most recent of which was wondering what would happen if all magnets in the galaxy just stopped doing their thing, being attractive or [...]

I was enjoying some sushi last night realized the table next to us was a father/daughter duo getting psyched to protest today. Gotta vent about Occupy. All these reports of elevated crime, drug dealers, general danger, excessive hostility against law enforcement, I’ve taken four or five tours of Zuccotti Park in Manhattan’s financial district and [...]
