Business cards make an impression

February 9th, 2010

Most of the time, we get only one chance to make an impression on someone.  It might be a brief introduction at a social event, in a meeting, at a conference, or while on vacation.  If you were interesting to them and made a good first impression, they will usually ask you for a business card.  You have business cards right?

iPhone 3GS review

January 19th, 2010

I recently purchased an iPhone 3GS with 16GB of memory.  This is my first iPhone and my first experience using Apple’s multi-touch interface.  I have never used an iPod touch either.  I purchased the iPhone  for the purpose of learning Objective-C, Cocoa and doing iPhone Application development.  Up until this point my experience with Smart phones has been limited to using and programming Palm OS & Windows Mobile Smart phones.  This post covers my personal experience with the iPhone. » Read more: iPhone 3GS review

Free online storage showdown

December 7th, 2009

Last week I posted two articles “No more USB access to public computers” and “More reasons for online storage“.  In the first article I listed 8 online storage service providers that had a free storage option.   I didn’t receive any other suggestions so I will be reviewing the options in that list. » Read more: Free online storage showdown

More reasons for online storage

December 5th, 2009

While preparing for another post related to my online storage article, No more USB access to public computer,  a friend’s data file became corrupted.  In addition to that incident, a shared computer came down with a virus about the same time.  The corruption cause is unknown, but the file contained data that represented many man-hours of work and there was no backup.  He had a deadline and asked for my help with reconstruction of the data.  » Read more: More reasons for online storage

No more USB access to public computers

No USB FlashDrive

No USB FlashDrive

Most of us take for granted how important USB flash drives have become in our lives.  We use flash drives for storage and transportation of everything digital in our lives.  We store all kinds of documents on them; presentations, resumes, spreadsheets, eBooks, pictures, music, etc.

Recently, public computers have been infected by flash drives that had viruses on them.  The IT departments have modified their security policies by removing access to USB flash drives.  So, how does this effect you and your digital life?  » Read more: No more USB access to public computers

Google Wave

Another Google product that is creating a lot of buzz lately is Google’s Wave.  It is a web application that enables real time collaboration.  It’s like email, chat, review markup and editing all rolled up into a nicely done user interface.  In order to fully understand what Wave is all about » Read more: Will you catch the Google Wave?

Google Chrome OS, will it meet customers’ needs?

December 2nd, 2009
Google Chrome OS

Google Chrome OS

I recently watched a video from Google about the planned Google OS.  It was a very reasonable presentation.  For the majority of users it makes a lot of sense.  The only reason most people have any computer at all is to get access to the internet.  Why not make an OS that is focused on doing just internet? » Read more: Google Chrome OS, will it meet customers’ needs?

USB flash drives are getting really affordable

8GB cruzer

8GB Sandisk Cruzer

The other day, I received an email requesting me to download some files for a special presentation.  I figured there would be no problem.  I could copy the files to my trusty 128MB flash drive and be done with it.  Unfortunately, the combined sizes  of the 2 videos reached 163MB.  Needless to say, my poor flash drive was not up to the task.  It stopped halfway through the file transfer.  I had to find another solution.  Did I mention this happened on Black Friday?  » Read more: USB flash drives are getting really affordable
