Over at ModMyiPhone there’s a post about new software called IntelliScreen that allows you to load widgets onto your iPhone’s idle screen. While I’ve made it this far without jailbreaking my phone (and I can certainly make it another month), this brings to light a need that has until now gone suspiciously unmet in my […]
I can’t tell you how many stupid injuries I’ve sustained by the traditional Fort-Knoxian approach to blister packs. Nice to finally see an elegant solution to that problem. Just pull on the little tab that says “Pull” and your labeler is released from its confines. Easy peasy.
And yes, that is a brand new, Brother P […]
This morning Gabe sent me a link to this absolutely beautiful piece of audio gear - Lasonic’s iPod Ghetto Blaster. I cannot express to you how awesome I think this is and the fact that it got such a stellar review is even more exciting. The price is a reasonable $170 but sadly there’s not […]

It’s a top notch approach to customer service that does a great job at leveraging current technology as well as current social community behavioral trends […]
Weather Underground has been my go-to source for weather on the web for the past 5 years ever since my buddy Gabe introduced me to it. At first the site felt way too information heavy for me but after giving it a chance I’ve grown to love all that data, partly due to the care […]

If you want to see, in 5 quick minutes, how these industries are changed forever (in a way that makes them infinitely more interesting than they were before), watch this presentation by Paul Isakson . Frankly, if it wasn’t for these changes, I wouldn’t be so interested in doing […]
A colleague at work recently pointed me to Newsvine’s concept of “vineacity.” For them, “vineacity” is a quantifiable measure of your behavior on and relationship to, the Newsvine community.
That behavior boils down to 6 key metrics that get represented as branches on a, you guessed it, vine. These vine icons, concisely denoting varying degrees […]
