Why I Switched from an iPhone to the Nexus One

January 10, 2010

Despite appearances, I’m not particularly an early adopter. I may be interested in new tech toys, but I generally don’t take the plunge right away.

Is there such a thing as too many comments?

January 8, 2010

Recently I was reading a blog post that sparked a thought in me. I felt compelled to comment; and honestly, this isn’t that frequent a response in me. So I started scrolling down to the comment section… and scrolled, and scrolled.. and scrolled. The entry box to leave a comment was at the bottom of [...]

It’s Just a Phone!

January 8, 2010

Today my new Nexus One arrives in the mail. I’ll admit, I’m a bit apprehensive about it. I’m nervous about giving up my iPhone.
What? Really? It’s just a phone!

6 Reasons Your Organization Needs Google Voice

December 22, 2009

I’ve been trying out Google Voice for about 6 months now. I like the service, most notably the voicemail transcriptions, but I know I’m not taking advantage of the majority of the features of the service. You know who would, though? Smaller volunteer-run organizations.
I’ve spent several years in such organizations, and I just took on [...]

Should Twitter be Banned at Conferences?

December 16, 2009

Yes, according to Joseph Jaffe. In episode JJTV #60, Jaffe pledges to personally escort disrespectful tweeters out of any conference he’s attending.

It’s a known fact that I dislike online video, but I was curious to see what Jaffe’s reasoning was. Was it that attendees are too busy on their phone to be fully paying attention? [...]
