Anyone else notice how in the tech world, when the “future” of something is being discussed, usually that future is death? And usually, the words uttered from the company’s mouth is that is not dead; it’s got a long future of support ahead of it; we’re just restructuring. Well, this isn’t one of those posts.…

I just got done reading the Steve Jobs bio, a huge theme of which was this battle during Jobs’s life of open systems vs. closed systems.  Let me promise you, this is not going to be a post about which one is better, but I do hope that I can cast a bit of light…

When i was in college and the banking crisis was at its peak, I remember reading a comment on Digg that explained that my generation was going to upend this status quo of how our economy works because we saw this disaster firsthand and we are about to take the world into our hands and…

A couple days after the death of Steve Jobs Twitter was abuzz with a quote from Richard Stallman: As Chicago Mayor Harold Washington said of the corrupt former Mayor Daley, “I’m not glad he’s dead, but I’m glad he’s gone.”Nobody deserves to have to die – not Jobs, not Mr. Bill, not even people guilty…

After having seen Touchanote for Evernote I got rather excited for what NFC might bring to our lives.…

I’ve created myself a Rackspace account and I’ll be moving icanthascheezburger.com to Rackspace in the next week or so. If I do this right, you won’t notice a thing. Even your RSS feed will keep working. But keep an eye on my Twitter account.

It’s that time again. We’ve got an Apple event coming up on Tuesday morning at 10 Pacific (side note: I LOVE living in the Pacific time zone, because it’s two hours less waiting that I have to do to see the event. Woo!).  My past performances with iPhone predictions are decent.  This time rumors on…

I was reading this article about an aviation company near my hometown that is growing and came across this gem: However, he told the airport authority that property taxes are the company’s biggest challenge and that a 10-year tax abatement on the paint facility the company built in 2003 is about to expire.
