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.
Your children may be doing drugs in their ears and you don’t even know it. Yeah I can’t seem to muster the proper level of feigned outrage over iDosing. The concept is you listen to sounds or music and they’re supposed to duplicate the effects of drugs. As usual, to 11 o’clock news will play […]
There are times when I wonder if I’m cut out for the business world. Not because I lack the skill, resolve or majestically good looks, but because I don’t think I sling crap as well as some of these things I read. I’ve avoided the AT&T microcell/femtocell story for a few months just because it […]
While many businesses were happy to hear that Windows XP recently got a reprieve from Microsoft, I was less than thrilled. It means that Internet Explorer 6 – the default browser with XP – is still alive. And not only is it alive, it’s growing according to research firm Net Applications. While I don’t agree […]

A funny thing happens when you wait in line forever and eventually get your phone. You end up too tired to remember to write about it. So what you missed at the end of Thursday’s drama was me finally getting my phone after 16 hours. Waaaaay too long to wait for anything. And as my […]
Well I thought I had the right idea when I started my search for an iPhone. I got word late Wednesday night that the Walmart in Marysville would have iPhones in stock starting at 8 am. After waiting around until 3 am, I found out from one of the managers that even though I was […]
Well I thought I was going to have a scoop today on Walmart having the iPhone at midnight tonight, but I just called and found out it won’t be in until at least June 29. I also called the Best Buy in Chico and was told if you didnt preorder between 9 a.m. and 11 […]
Just a heads-up in case you haven’t checked already: Apple has released iOS 4.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The download is free for iPhone and iPod Touch users, since Apple changed its accounting practices last year. As much fun as slogging through the financial minutia of Sarbanes-Oxley is, I’m going to wait for […]
It’s summertime in the Mid-Valley and that means one thing: It’s only a matter of time before a massive fire breaks out. Granted 2010 probably won’t be the same smoke monster 2008 was, but the danger is still there. Now, you might be asking yourself, why am I reading about fire season in a freaking […]
