Here are some of the best ways to find new people to follow on twitter, without spending too much time searching for them.

Like many others, I had the problem where applications would crash and my iPod would lock up — it wasn’t an Apple experience. However, I’ve found a temporary solution to the problem until Apple comes out with a fix for these issues. The problem seems to be with the App Store application on your iPhone [...]

What Makes for a Good Blog? — Blogs make fart noises and occasionally vex readers with the degree to which the blogger’s obsession will inevitably diverge from the reader’s. If this isn’t happening every few weeks, the blogger is either bored, half-assing, or taking new medication. Well said, Merlin.

Having a large address book is great — no searching around for an email address or a phone number when you really need it, but setting up that large address book could take days. In fact, a couple of weeks ago I found myself cleaning up my address book and adding additional information for my [...]

Smokestack Growl Theme — Smokestack is a Growl style imitating Leopard 10.5.2’s grid stacks look. If you’re looking for a new Growl theme, I’d recommend trying out Smokestack. I discovered this the other day and love Growl so much more because of it. It’s absolutely beautiful.

WordCamp Toronto 2008 — For the uninitiated, WordCamp is an informal gathering of WordPress users where we teach, learn, eat, drink and generally have fun with one another. There have been dozens of other WordCamps all over the world. Toronto’s is being hosted by the Centennial College Student Association Inc., who base lots of their Web [...]

It’s time for a little bit of change, don’t you think? New Design? Nope, Not Yet, Sorry. I know, I know, I’ve had this theme since my blog launched in late 2007, but I just can’t decide on a new design. It’s very hard for me to decide on a design because I’m not even sure if [...]

Have you ever tried to share or collaborate on something using a web service and the other poor soul doesn’t have an account? It’s so frustrating for them — they need to open the site, enter a username, password, email address, agree to the terms, and more, just to get access to the thing you’re [...]

Business cards are used for two common purposes: to give to people, and to sit on your desk. However, when you take a look at the online world, you can’t pass objects to people, and your desk isn’t viewable to anyone but yourself. You need a different type of business card. A business card for [...]

New Media is great. It connects people through various channels, provides information, and it’s fun to participate in all of these different channels. However, with web 2.0 and all of the other outstanding technology we have on the web today, things pile up if you don’t pay close enough attention to it all. I’ve had [...]

Image by voreas. I get out of school in three weeks. Usually I spend the Summer doing whatever I feel like doing that day, every day. No plans at all. No projects. No nothing. This year is different. I have a few plans for the Summer. Family Reunion (And a Drive to The Cube) In early July, just [...]

Over the last couple of days the “next big thing” has been Plurk. However, many have been comparing Plurk to Twitter, and calling Plurk “the next Twitter”. I’m here to prove them wrong — Plurk is not like Twitter. Plurk ≠ Twitter As you can see, Twitter does a lot of things that Plurk doesn’t, and [...]

When I got home from school today, I was welcomed by a nice little package all the way from Santa Monica. Inside was some Mahalo schwag. If you live in San Francisco, you probably get some schwag from a company every few days or weeks. But up here in Canada, specifically on the east coast, schwag [...]

If you’re a Twitter user, you’re probably really fed up with Twitter’s downtime over the last couple of weeks. By now, you’re probably a hater of this sentence: Something is technically wrong. What To Do, What To Do…. Here are some things you might want to do while Twitter is down. Try out FriendFeed Move to Pownce or Jaiku [...]

I’ve never been able to put up with GTD (getting things done) applications. None of them work just the way I want them to. I don’t feel GTD applications should have a full interface. You have to remember, you’re wasting precious time setting up and using the application. An application that is supposed to help you [...]

Social bookmarking service, Delicious, provides you with a nice way to organize your bookmarks — through tags and tag bundles. Tags are keywords that are relevant to the bookmark. Tag bundles simply bundle these tags together, so you could see the various tags for a vague topic. After a few months of massive bookmarking, I’ve [...]

Last night I got the chance to play with the all-new Facebook Chat, because it has already been rolled out to my network. I must say, it’s pretty neat. The interface for Facebook Chat is quite minimal, as you can see above. Basically, across the bottom of all the pages you’re browsing on Facebook, there’s [...]

In todays online world, there are so many ways to find content. The problem is, most of these content sources either has a lot of bad content, or a cranky, rude crowd surrounding them. Here are some of my favorite content sources, and how I use them. Flickr — Flickr is a great source for some [...]

On April 14th, I went Twitter-free, IM-free, and email-free, for the entire day. April 13 2008: The Day Before The Experiment Why? It’s an experiment I’ve been wanting to try for a while. I want to see how much I depend on these different services — how much I miss them. This’ll be very hard for email and [...]

I just ran across this site called Random Errors. Basically, it’s a collection of error messages for when you don’t know what’s wrong (or you just want to lie about what’s wrong). Here are some of my favorites that I’ve seen so far: #101: Problem lies between chair and desk. #-6: 1 not found; using 0 instead. #463: [...]
