Having done audio tech work before, this really made me laugh. That’s not to say I know what anything is/does in this video, just that it’s really funny. The humor just speaks to me in a special way because I’ve been there. I get it and you don’t.

Layer (nč Photoshop) Tennis
(Don’t have time to read? Here’s the punchline. http://layertennis.com/) A couple years back a phenomenon began when members of a designers forum posted images from their current projects for critique, as is want to happen. Out of bored creativity, other designers took the original spirit of the work and turned it into a completely different [...]
Half-Off Tickets on Southwest
Crazy deals on Southwest Airlines right now. 50% off all tickets to Seattle, and that’s just for their “Wanna Get Away” style deals. I’ve heard you can get even better deals by using their Ding! program. It’s always looked like malware to me; like some combination of spyware and just plain bloat, but I just [...]
Letters
Obama was inagurated. Rev. Lowery gave the benediction, ending by saying “we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get back, when brown can stick around — (laughter) — when yellow will be mellow — (laughter) — when the red man can get ahead, man — [...]
Congratulations, President Obama
I have yet to permit myself to be excited about our new president, despite how great he seems. Listening to President Obama’s speeches, seeing the passion and feeling a genuine sense of care is both reassuring and inspiring. However, I really have a hard time witnessing any political grandstanding, and I believe this is because [...]
The Problem with Certification
If you go through the trouble of earning, and more importantly paying for, a computer certificate you want that to mean something. That’s why it would be somewhat troubling to find out that an 8 year old Macedonian boy has been made a Microsoft-certified professional. I certaily believe this boy is a computer prodigy, [...]

My RSS Reader
One of the best things about the iPhone is the constant internet access it provides. The phone is small enough that you take it anywhere, and as long as you’re inside AT&T’s coverage area, you can do anything at all over the internet cloud that you could normally do from home. This point really probably [...]
Digital TV Transition
The transition from analog to digital TV may not be as easy for the older population as it is for you and me. This may not be a genuine PSA, but it can’t be far off.
Newer Ezra
My good friend since kindergarden, Jonathan Moore, has just announced he is moving on to create an independant studio to follow his creative passions. While he hasn’t released the new name, I have it on good authority (my own) that he will be calling the studio “Newer Ezra.” The logo will be rendered in comic [...]
Instant Value Add
How do you add instant value to any iPhone application, enough to secure your place at the top of the lists for weeks? Why, bundle in a flashlight and wet fart sounds! Even if it doesn’t make sense! The popular iPhone application Tweetie has done just this. Check out the details here. PEE – App [...]
Kanye West
Now that I’ve published this, I can’t deny it. I have actually bought not one, but two Kanye West albums in the past few days. Don’t worry, though; I’ve managed to keep the smug hipster level sky high since I bought the “Explicit” version just because it was truer to the artist intent. Good grief [...]
Try This Tonight
Fix “Corked” Wine with a Bowl and Plastic Wrap A “professor of wine chemistry” at UC Davis says that just coming in contact with plastic wrap removes the cemical that gives wine it’s “dank” (think spoiled) flavor. Works just like dirt sticks to soap. The engineering solution is going to have to be how do [...]
Palm Pre
Palm comes back from irrelevance. Here’s the Palm Pre CES Introduction. The Palm Pre seems like a great phone – similar but, more importantly, different than the iPhone. The iPhone is a LED flashlight, while the Pre is a MagLight. The iPhone does one thing at a time, for the most part, and does it [...]
