Wanted: An E-reader for Comics

Although the Apple tablet has yet to prove itself as fact or fiction, I hope the new speculation about tablets for periodicala will include the thriving comicbook and manga businesses. Websites like Zuda and Marvel successfully translate the comic reading experience to the web but to be honest, the last thing I want to do [...]

Google Your Google on Your Google With Your Google

If there were ever a company that had a real chance of becoming Skynet, it would be Google. Let’s hope that ‘don’t be evil’ mantra still permeates the company in twenty five years when Google AI robots are cooking your dinner or tending to other things. Today Google announced it’s own alternative DNS resolver. Google’s [...]

On Silicon Valley, Changing the World and Pizza

I just came across a great article by Nathaniel Whittemore at change.org about whether or not Silicon Valley can really change the world. I have no doubt in my mind that there are some fantastic people in the Valley that, can will and are working towards doing just that. But I also know those are [...]

Feedburner: A Service Yahoo Should Own

So today, I intended to triumphantly return to the world of personal blogging with this blog but I failed. My first post pushed out today was actually this one below from 2008:

Once upon a time I used to write photoshop tutorials, graphic design tips, etc and prior to that this was my travel blog as I backpacked around Europe. Now it’s where I’ll talk about everything I don’t write about over at Appfrica.net. [...]

Locked out of BBPress?

So I just spent the last fifteen minutes trying to hack my way back into my BBpress forums at code.appfrica.net. The problem was that BBPress doesn’t consider admins the ’super users’ of the account. The ‘administrator’ rank just allows you to moderate the forum, not it’s look or anything else. To do [...]

Hahlo or Twitterific To Follow Summize Acquisition

Now that Twitter has purchased Summize and corrected some seriously boneheaded moves, their next major moves need to be in the mobile space.  VentureBeat makes some interesting points on this very subject. If I were the powers that be at Twitter I would be looking to snatch up all of the best thirdparty applications using [...]

T-Mobile/USA Hijacks Open Ports

If you’re a developer who likes to go to coffeeshops work with people around, stay away from some places that offer Wifi on T-Mobile. This is pretty silly because T-Mobile is one of those wifi providers that you still have to pay for. Yet, I’ve got less functionality than most free alternatives. [...]

Blog Networks is a social networking application that esentially turns Facebook into a massive database of blogs not unsimilar to Yahoo’s MyBlogLog.  The idea is to encourage reading by the casual reader.  I just signed up GosDot and Appfrica which you can check out by clicking the links.

Push Button Publisher

I promise there will be some regular updates to this space soon. Due to my increased level of work with Appfrica I’ve been neglecting this blog but don’t worry updates are coming soon.  I recently started blogging/writing for a pretty big magazine out of the UK so I expect to focus the direction of [...]
