A year into my work as a copy editor for the Appeal-Democrat, I started a technology blog for the newspaper. Among the accomplishments were covering both the 2009 and 2010 Macworld shows in San Francisco and liveblogging Apple’s final keynote address at the event in 2009.
I decided I’d give the DRM free upgrade option a shot, but it seems to have disappeared from the store as of about 10 minutes ago. A bit of an oddity. The store is riddled with broken links. Odds are it’s the result of slammed servers since everyone is trying to upgrade their music. As you […]
This is on my list of “things I want to do if I ever get the money together.” The Axiotron Modbook has been out officially for about a year, but its roots began at Macworld two years ago where it took the Best of Show award. The concept is simple. Take a Mac and make it into […]

Or may find this being broadcast to followers around the world. We’ve been assured that CNN’s Rick Sanchez didn’t call into work because he was high on crack, but his Twitter feed was hacked into. It’s unrelated to a phishing scam that’s been going around and hijacking Twitter accounts. This is as good a time as any to remind […]
Yep, we’re officially on Twitter, you can add penlinks to your feed to get all sorts of wonderful updates, news and information. What’s Twitter? It’s a form of micro-blogging (or short writings) where people can update others with what they’re doing with 140 character posts. In other words, it’s a place for people to answer […]
It feels nice to be right once in awhile. Steve Jobs isn’t on his deathbed after all. In a nice day-before-keynote surprise, Apple’s CEO announced what’s really going on with his health. It turns out it’s a hormonal imbalance causing weight loss which he expects to recover from by May or June. Whether or not it’s […]

Well, technically it’s not a basement, it’s in the actual expo hall, but I call it a basement because where I’m at is below street level. I’ll give a more visual tour later, but for now, I’ll just be […]
