What I’ve been up to…
26 October 2008Not that anyone who finds my blog will actually CARE what I’m up to, but it’s my blog and I run this dog & pony show!
My projects as of late have mostly been electronic in nature. I’ve actually had three projects on the burner:
Replacement of the capacitors on my Mortal Kombat 2 arcade [...]
Apple Genius Playlist — It’s like Pandora for your IPod Tunes!
3 October 2008I finally took the time last night to setup the Genius Playlist option for my iPhone. Basically the Genius playlist option now lets Apple generate a playlist with songs in the same fashion that Pandora does for it’s Internet Radio streams.
For example, I selected the new Ben Folds song Hiroshima and it created the following [...]
WWWinamp v4.2 Build 2990
9 March 2008Well, after about a week of off and on work the latest version of WWWinamp is ready!
I’ve taken the “beta” tag off of it as it seems the recode of the HTTP request processing seemed to work without issue and no bugs were reported (other than the ‘paging’ issue, which really was a defect in [...]
WWWinamp iPhone Compatible Skin — COMING SOON!
1 February 2008Ever since the Apple iPhone was released last year, I was blown away by the multimedia and browser capabilities of it. I started wondering from the get-go about the actual usefulness of a software development kit that only allowed for development of applications in a mobile browser.
It was then announced that the official iPhone SDK [...]
MacBook Air: First Impressions With The Solid State Drive
1 February 2008Today while on our lunch break a couple co-workers and I ventured over to our local Apple Store here in San Diego. We had seen on a few Apple related sites that the new MacBook Air had been showing up in Apple Stores so we decided we needed to take the latest laptop from Apple [...]
Apple TV: Another Internet Asshole’s Opinion
21 January 2008I recall walking through my local Apple retail store a while back while purchasing my wife’s Black MacBook. One of the products that caught my eye was a little white box plugged into an LCD TV. It was my first exposure to Apple TV.
I was looking through the features and was somewhat interested. It seemed [...]
Bugs in the iPhone Firmware v1.1.1 that have been annoying me
12 October 2007For the most part, I couldn’t be happier with my iPhone. After using several phones over the past two years from Nokia and RIM, the iPhone is hands down the best phone I’ve ever used. BUT, there are several defects in the latest version of the iPhone Firmware (v1.1.1) that are starting to annoy me:

As an early iPhone adopter, am I upset that they dropped the price to $399?
6 September 2007My answer: Not really.
I think people are making a big fuss out of this because it was a big announcement and people who already owned iPhones are taking it as an ‘in your face’ move from Apple.
I spent over $1,200 purchasing my wife and I iPhones when they were released back on June 29th (roughly [...]
My Little iPhone Review
14 July 2007I know there are a flurry of iPhone reviews going around tech sites and blogs, so I’ll spare you the technical details or rehash things that have already been covered time and time again.
I thought it would be interesting to just share my experience over the past week of iPhone ownership. A first hand accounting [...]
