Regarding the Mac Tablet
I’m laying at the beach writing a rough draft to this entry not because I want to but because I can. Because there’s finally a device that has cemented for me what it means to handle minimal computer task effectively while not being in front of one. I’m referring to the iPhone.
Responding to an email is simple. Browsing the web is painless (depending on which model you own),...

Simplistic Approach
There’s nothing more that Patrick Rhone loves than a clean, uncluttered and distraction free computing experience and for that reason he recently launch an online project entitled Minimal Mac where he features, reviews and catalogs anything Minimalists and it got me thinking of how my computer experience falls in line with the whole simplistic approach.
One of the biggest lessons in...

Shake It Photo - Instant Photo on your iPhone →
This ¢99 app has by far become my favorite app to use for impromptu photographing on the iPhone. It’s snazzy tag line of “take it, shake it, share it” really does make the act of taking a photo that simple and it certainly makes up for what the default camera app doesn’t have.
The fun part comes after you take a photo where you’re required to treat it as an...

Keeping the Kindle focus
I think it’s normal to expect every handheld device to have capability to explore the web with a full featured browser, to keep you entertained with classic games, to keep you connected with every social network there’s is to possibly join and these qualities are the ones a friend expected to get when he tinkered with my Kindle 2.
The concept is nothing different from what an iPhone...

New e-book reader to use AT&T network →
The Kindle has really opened and dominated the entire market place of electronic reading devices and much of it’s popularity has centered around the convenience of downloading books, periodicals and magazines wirelessly. But now Plastic Logic has released more details on their eReader which is set to launch in 2010.
Plastic Logic’s device will be able to use Wi-Fi. AT&T has an...

Twitter Blocking →
The majority of my Twitter participation takes place via Tweetie for both the desktop and iPhone but very often I visit people’s official page to gain an idea of what their contribution to the service looks like.
In the past month, I’ve gain a significant amount of followers, all of which I’ve welcomed because we each enjoy the casual ego boost but have you ever personally...

Taking Notes
I wish I could have that kind of open affair with my Moleskine like every other proud owner has had with their notebook. I own quite a few, each varying in size and paper formats and my intention investing in them was so that they could serve as an invitation to pour out casual ideas while on the go but lately I’ve done more carrying than writing with it. I think I’ve become just...

On Free
As soon as it became available, with just a simple keyboard shortcut, I logged onto the Kindle Store and downloaded Chris Anderson’s new book Free: The Future of a Radical Price, for free as it was promised from the author. If you don’t own a Kindle, Scribd has available a digital copy to download or if you prefer the modish touch of a book, then you’ll have to pony up $26.99 for the print...

Managing my Feed Inbox
Putting aside the value that one gets from an RSS reader such as avoiding the chore of visiting each site you read the most, lately it’s been more than stated that going through that same information that one craves is not something everyone looks forward to because of the overload aspect of it. Each person has their software of choice and routine for how they handle the influx of content...

ID Tag Your Camera
Not to sound too cynical but I can’t ever imagine a complete stranger safely returning an expensive piece of equipment such as a Nikon D90 if I ever accidently misplaced it during a random outing. Not to say there are not any honorable people left in the world but for those few that would have intentions of contacting the owner, how would they even know who to reach?
After reading about...

“The title of photographer can mean so many things these days that I have come to...”
– Clever reply by Jon-Paul Douglass interpreting his craft –
Whenever friends or acquaintances come across my photos on Flickr, their immediate comeback is how much they take pleasure viewing the photographs and end with asking if I’m a photographer. With much humbleness I state that...

Introducing Fotovine →
Digital photography has revolutionized the way we take photos. This new method of chronicling moments has spread so rapidly that equally impressive are the slew of services, software, books, gears and iPhone Apps that can all add excitement to how we take our photos and what we can do with them afterwards.
My natural passion towards anything related to the field has led me to share these...

The Fred Factor
I must have watched every single episode of The King of Queens at least a dozen times and it continues to make me laugh with it’s comical cast but in between all the laugher, there’s one episode that made a huge impression on me. In it the main character Doug, delivers packages as a profession for a company equivalent to UPS and at one point he feels his job is diminished because...
