While flipping through some Palm Pre apps a little while back, I ran across a gem of an app (and a service) called Pixelpipe that has come in very handy. What I was looking for was a way to upload multiple photos to different sites all over the internet. My Palm Pre only allows you… Read more »

What Happened on the Internet in 2009?
I ran across an interesting collection of facts and figures about things that happened with the Internet in 2009.

Some of my favorite stats:… Read more »

Everybody Needs an App Store
Since Apple released their official App Store in July of ’08, everyone has been jumping on the App Store Bandwagon. Every couple of weeks you see some new company releasing an App Store for whatever platform they represent. Some make sense, and some are a little far-fetched.

Where Have All the Toolbars Gone?
I noticed Windows toolbar UI elements were disappearing a while ago. I think it started with the release of Internet Explorer 7, but was reminded of it again with the first preview shots of Firefox ver. 4.0 that came out last week. Is this now a trend? Have we seen the death of the standard… Read more »
Palm Pre Review
Well, I went out an bought myself a Palm Pre. It’s a really good phone, but the major deciding factor was the great deal I currently have with Sprint. It just made it too hard to jump to another carrier to get another phone (*cough* iPhone *cough* AT&T). I held out on renewing the account… Read more »
Pilot a Ship All Around Google Earth
I just ran across one of the coolest uses of Google Earth I’ve seen. Planet in Action has created an online simulation built on top of Google Earth. You can pilot several barges, a re-fuel ship, a container ship, a cruise ship, or even a blimp. This looks to be a proof-of-concept type game according… Read more »

What if the Internet Disappeared?
Last week I was talking to a coworker of mine and somehow the conversation moved towards the possibility of the internet disappearing. She came out and asked me what I would do if the internet was gone. It’s an interesting question to think about since the Internet has become such an important part of our… Read more »
Palm Pre, Will it Save Palm?
There was another big announcement from last week’s Consumer Electronics Show that I have purposely held off commenting on. Palm announced their next generation phone, the Pre, and their new WebOS.
