    ‘Tis the season! Hey again everybody, it seems that the Christmas season is upon us again, which of course means that it is a great time to reflect on the important ideas of peace, love and harmony, and to spend time with friends and family. It is also a great opportunity to reflect on the…

    What should the next hangout be?

    Okay, I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback about the first hangout, and though I know there are a few kinks and issues, as well as some unfortunate timing for a couple of people, I’m very pleased with how it went, and for those of you who are interested, the link to the video on…

    iMessage (a wonderful life, when it works)

    Last year, upon the release of iMessage, I described and suggested to friends a method wherein users of iPhone and iPad/Mac computers could receive messages on both their phone and other device, so long as they used their email address with iMessage, since sending an iMessage to a phone number only resulted in the iPhone…

    Unboxing of the new iPad (4th Gen. Wifi + Cellular)

    Welcome indeed! Okay, so I have been looking forward to reviewing new toys I get, and since I was sitting at my computer while opening my new, 4th generation iPad with wifi and cellular connectivity, I decided to take some pictures of the unboxing process, so I can discuss the iPad, how it has changed…

    Hangout: Saturday, December 1st @ 1PM – Smartphones

    Alright, the date is almost upon us. In trying to prepare for the discussion, I think it would do well to come up with some sample topics. I could probably talk about cell phones for hours on end myself, but that just would not be interesting to anyone but me! I think it would be…

    The Time has Come

    Okay guys, I have thought about this enough, it is time to act. I have decided on a time for the inaugural vodcast I mentioned in a previous post here. If anybody would like to actively participate (i.e. join the video chat directly) I will be coming up with a set of instructions on how…

  • When I grow up, I want to be _______

    Okay, I got a fun idea for a little mini-series that will let me kill two birds with one stone, given that I want to write as much as I can in ways that will be helpful to my future careers, as well as round out my online résumé. On that note, I am going…

    When I grow up, Part 1: Research Scientist

    Why I would like to be a research scientist: The jobs I feel this title encompasses includes (but is not at all limited to) doctor, astronaut, researcher, science officer, engineer. Since I was a very young child, I have always been fascinated with Science. It is a field of extremely useful and relevant insight into…

    Writing on the Internet

    I would like to dedicate this post to Matthew Inman, creator of the Oatmeal. He wrote a really wonderful and beautiful post today about writing on the internet. You can see it at the link above, but basically it outlines why he loves writing and cartooning and comicing on the internet. It really is a…
