Tumblr is a new blogging platform which focuses on simple, quick blogging called tumblelogs. A tumblelog is a blog of very short posts, maybe just a photo, link or quote; a slightly richer form of Twitter.
The Tumblr service has an elegant design focusing on simplicity. I was impressed with it and for a few days [...]
Photophlow is a pretty cool new way to interact with photos and people. It ties into Flickr and allows you to view photos simultaneously with other users and chat in real-time about them. You can select a photo and everyone in the chat room sees the photo and can comment on it.

A follow-up post on the Leopard bugs I previously discussed.
My biggest beef is that tar is still broken.
User Error: The terminal tabs shortcut keys was my mistake, they are curly brackets so I have to hold down the shift key to switch. Between Safari, Firefox, Terminal, and Adium there are just too many [...]
I ended up upgrading to Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) and I think that was a mistake. I should of headed my low expectations and not even bothered. There are many annoyances and a few bugs. The biggest bug which is actually impacting my work is also the oddest, some how they broke “tar”.

Ok, I’ve posted way too much about the iPhone, I think a few people might actually be reading and subscribing to my blog. I’m actually getting comments too. Time to nip that in the bud with a post about obscure unix commands.
I was reading a tutorial on setting up an IMAP server and the guy [...]
I’ve had my iPhone for a few weeks now and here are the real issues I have come across.
1. No MMS Text Messages. I do not know of any cell phone which can not receive photo messages, except the $600 most advanced phone on the market. This one just baffles me. I [...]
Here’s a simple how-to for making your own Tyvek sleeve case for your iPhone. Yes, it’s odd that I’m willing to spend $600 on a phone and then make my own case.
Tyvek is a magic material made by DuPont [more info]. It is used for mailing envelopes and house siding. I even have [...]
