my lip singing debute with ijustine

I was doing my usual freelance work at my favorite coffee shop and was graced by the ever ridiculous presence of my buddy iJustine. The usual techy, twitter, new media chit-chat ensued as well as some friendly competition of dinglepops and blockles and finally though some strange turn of events this was conceived. Enjoy!

Rave: Verizon Plays nice with Twitter (finally)

This is a response post to my post from November about how Verizon hates Twitter.

This past Monday I returned from a 2 week backpacking trip around Europe, covering Spain, Germany and Austria. On my return I received one of the greatest gifts ever, Twitter and Verizon now play nice and I get all my updates even the ones with "@" symbols.

Thanks bunches people at Twitter for taking care of this issue in a somewhat timely manner.

Google Maps: Street View: Leprecon!?!

I've been away from the internets for a bit, just returned from a 16 day back packing trip around Spain, Germany and Austria. I get back to check out some Google Maps Street View and what do I find a little Leprecon instead of the usual yellow guy we all are used to. I think he is quite fun, thanks for brighting my day a lil, Google.

Adobe Stickers: A Fashion Trend?

Me being a proud Adobe user and getting a slew of stickers recently(see this post) was surprised to see that Lee Brimelow has the same taste in stickers. Check out Lee's video about MacWorld over at his blog. At around 2:15 is where he shows off his MacBook Pro.

I got some Adobe Stickers!!!

I saw this post from a lady over at Adobe. So I followed the directions, and sent a self adressed stamped envelope to her and a week later I had my stickers. So Thanks Heidi from Adobe.
