A Good Year of Bad Metaphors
So, while I wasn’t looking, my first anniversary of being a Louisvillian (a term rife with possibility) came, then went, which was surprisingly anti-climactic. Despite the predictions of certain miscreants, I have not, as of yet, plumbed those depths of musical possibility offered by the Hooting Jug, nor have I evolved a mandibular appendage that [...]
Pressing Changes
I’ve not written about it here before, but I’m, at most, two shades from being a full-blown WordPress evangelist. Have you heard the good news? WordPress is awesome! It’s clean, it’s lean, it’s mean and it gets done what needs doin’. …and now it won’t support Internet Explorer 6. I should be giddy, right? IE6 [...]
Leave Facebook Alone!
Okay, so, time to admit it…I kinda like Facebook! Yes, okay, so does everyone, to a point. However, ubiquity is its own enemy, and the long-awaited Facebook Backlash has been in full effect for a while now. First came the privacy outcry. Then The Social Network. Now that the inevitable articles (warning – naughty language [...]
Mom and Apple, Inc.
So, my mom called me up a few days ago to tell me that she was going to try and get a grant to make a smart phone app. This all but caused me whiplash while I nervously scanned the landscape for legions of rampaging, weaponized Tyrannosaurs or other signs of mass, global higgledy-piggledy. It [...]

It’s quite an achievement for the little browser that could, which launched but a scant two years back with a plucky little Scott McCloud-produced introductory comic [...]
Meta-Data
Since the blog’s recent upgrade, we’ve had some fairly interesting chatter come down the pipes. Angela’s recent piece on Lemonade: Detroit was picked up on by the film’s producer/director, Erik Proulx, who left a happy, hopeful note, thanking Angela for her support. More recently, Earndit co-founder Andres Moran commented on Dennis’ blog entry about the [...]
Future Perfect?
It’s strange to keep remembering that, even while our daily lives remain fairly recognizable, the future keeps happening. Quantum teleportation? Done, to a range of ten miles, just this May. Remember how everyone pretended to be afraid that the Large Hadron Collider was going to destroy the world in its singularity-inducing quest to find the [...]
When is an iPhone Not an iPhone?
You couldn’t be blamed for confusing, at first glance, the screens above. The design elements are but degrees away from complete congruency, with the same flashy colors, rounded logos, and rooted bottom menus. If not the same handset OS, they must at least come forth from the same company, right? Wrong, actually. As it turns [...]
