IPod Video | I've flipped to the other side.
For a while now, I’ve been a proponent of not getting an IPod due to Ipod’s lack of WMA support and limited features. I’ve been using Yahoo’s music service for my music downloads and I couldn’t get anything other than DRM’ed WMA’s so an IPod was out of the question for me which, in turn, made me come up with arguments against getting an Ipod. Started...

Ruby on Rails and getting derailed a bit.
So I’ve been playing with [tag]Ruby on Rails[/tag] for a few months now, going through the [tag]Agile Web Development with Rails[/tag] book that [tag]Dave Thomas[/tag] and [tag]David Heinemeier Hansson[/tag] came out with a little over a year ago. I really enjoy it, it’s an easy read and doesn’t assume to much about the users knowledge (It’s been a while since I’ve...

Who are the next upcoming geek celeb’s that don’t necessarily have boatloads of cash but are making an impact on the Internet today and will for more years to come?

Do you drink the 37Signals Kool-Aid?
I should preface everything I’m about to write with I really think the 37signals guys are really opening peoples eyes to the new ways to do business. With that said, I don’t fully buy into it. I think Jason Fried and DHH definitely do a good job creating a buzz for their company with their ‘less is more’ attitudes but they speak as if their principles applies to all...

Analysts and reviewers like to group all of these types of companies underneath the whole web 2.0 umbrella.

The end of allofmp3.com?
Is today the day that allofmp3.com went under? I recently have been checking out allofmp3 and have been enjoying the service. So it was my surprise that this weekend I have been trying to use the service and have it give me the proverbial “Having issue with our accounting service, try again later” type of message. I didn’t have any luck with either their website or desktop...

Bit of organizing going on.
So I been doing some spring cleaning in my part of the ole’ Internet the past couple of days. I was going tiresome of having multiple hosts for work and personal projects so I decided to finally bring them all together under one roof. Centrally managed they say… I switched over to mediatemple.net where I can host up to 20 different websites now. So far, their support has been...

Made the MySpace leap.
So I finally did it, I’m one of ‘them’, the proud, the many, the MYSPACE juggernaut. I actually blame Jimmy for this whole deal since he started one and curiousity got the best of me, so I had to try it out, then I had to tweak it out and now I’m getting emails from people I haven’t seen/spoken to in almost a decade nearly daily. Catching up with old friends is...
