Google Buzz is the new buzz from Google

So, the new killer social feature hinted over the last couple of days is called Google Buzz. it’s an integration into gmail that let’s you easily share links, photos and videos with your network. snazzy thing is that your network is built for you automatically based on your email contacts. It supports public and private [...]

The Apple iPad

So… I was right. Not to gloat (ok, maybe a little bit) I called it on December 26. The iPad would be just a big iPhone. I even managed to post the name they would eventually use, the iPad. Looking at the device now that it has been released, it does have some new native [...]

The Roku Player

My brother bought a Roku HD Player for my parents this christmas. It’s easy enough for my parents to use. The quality wasn’t great, but I’m chalking that up to the wireless coverage in the living room being spotty. I’ve been looking for a neat Netflix streaming set top box for a bit. Been toying [...]

The Apple Tablet

I am excited about the rumors of the Apple Tablet / iSlate. I’ve talked about what I want in The Perfect Hardware Device and, clearly, this is not exactly what I described. I want an open device. We don’t know much about this tablet, but if wild speculation can be trusted, this will be another [...]

WebApp Developer Call to Arms. The Romans are Coming!

Just got done reading an interesting article over on TechCrunch entitled Google, Rome, and Empire. It was a very interesting post in an analogy-stretched-too-far kind of way. But the more I’ve been thinking about it, the more the analogy fits. The analogy is thus(here slightly modified): Google is building an infrastructure on the web that [...]

The Perfect Hardware Device

Netbooks are the big talk these days. I hate the idea. Why would I want to carry around an underpowered laptop? They may be smaller and cheaper than the more conventional laptops… but c’mon, you are still lugging around a device that is breakable, and doesn’t fit in your pocket. Worse, it’s underpowered compared to [...]

TweepML list of Orlando Web Technology people.

I came across the TweepML website today. It’s basically an easy way to create and share groups of Twitter users.  I’ve been compiling a list of the cool people I have met or come across in the local Orlando Technology scene. I have them set up in my TweetDeck in a group for Orlando. It’s [...]

Day One of Learning Rails. Hello World Not So Easy.

Well, I have taken the plunge into learning Ruby on Rails. I’ve been toying with learning rails for the last month or so and have even attended a local user group meeting. Yesterday I finally put some real effort into it. I had picked up a copy of the (so far) awesome book Agile Web [...]

Journey into Rails

Back in early July, I visited CoLab Orlando. There, I was impressed with the new generation of web technology. It seems that I am a bit of a dinosaur, you know, being 30. So I’m looking to update my hard tech skills. I was really into ASP in it’s prime, I’ve been into PHP and [...]

AT&T Denies Involvement With Google Voice App Decision

As posted on Techcrunch, AT&T has responded to the FCC regarding their role in the App Store rejecting the iPhone Google Voice application. They disclaim any knowledge of it.

This, hopefully, bodes well for future acceptance of the app. It was widely thought that the app was declined because of the competition it would pose to AT&T’s core business. From what they say in their statement, apparently, they don’t care. Likely a bunch of BS, but now we should get to hold them to it…

Let’s get that app rolled out already!!!
