Pubcon Assistant Giveaway from GrowthPartner.com

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

PubCon Assistant Giveaway from Josh Dippold on Vimeo. Had a hand in making this video, as you can see by the credit above. Still not 100% satisfied.  The graphic at the beginning needs to be animated -- moving or zooming in some way.  And the graphic needs to transition into ...

BuzzVoice reads stories aloud

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I follow Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) on Twitter -- why, I don't really know -- and usually just pass over his copious twittering. But the other day his mention of BuzzVoice caught my eye.  BuzzVoice takes the stuff you read and reads it aloud for you. Of course a computer voice ...

Brizzly is basically Twitter.com with a few extra features

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

So after getting my invite for Brizzly and signing up and in, I'm not overly impressed with this new third party, web-based Twitter service.  Brizzly is just an ever so slightly beefed up version of Twitter.com.  The basic navigation and choices are on the left instead of the right, like ...

COtweet search fail

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Here is your error of day. Currently trying out COtweet and what do you know, the search is erroring. What a lot of good that does me.  To be fair, it could be chalked up to Twitter's API or something, but now I'm wading into something I don't ...

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

If you'd like to see a near real time photo feed of Twitpic, yfrog and Twitgoo -- all image sharing sites associated with Twitter -- click over to PIngWire. . . . Many of the images seem to break -- or not load -- after it's been up and running ...

‘We Choose the Moon’ to recreate Apollo 11 mission

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

In approximately 19 hours, We Choose The Moon will enter "stage 2" and the Apollo 11 moon mission will be recreated in real time.  I'm not exactly sure of the recreation details, but from what appears on the site currently, it looks like there could be a audio stream between ...

Further iPhone rant: Netflix, Background Apps, Audio Hardware, Multipurpose Dock

Monday, July 6th, 2009

David Lynch makes a good point here, but I still can't help wanting to stream movies from Netflix on the iPhone.  And Hulu?  Where you at? While I'm at it, why won't Apple, at the very least, allow apps to run in the background when the phone is plugged in and ...

(New) Twitter Technical Fail Page?

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

After accidentally attempting to login to Twitter with an erroneous space after my username, I was taken to twitter.com/sessions where the above image appeared. I've never before witness this clouds/attentive robot/bird/pac-man split, double fused bomb/ -- image.  It reads: Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing -- we're going to fix it ...

Twitter, where are my ‘juicy details’?

Monday, May 18th, 2009

The above image is a screen grab of someone who recently chose to follow me on Twitter.  Usually if someone follows me, I will follow back.  So I was intrigued when I found out I couldn't do so -- even though it looks as if I already have. Instead I was ...
