One of the simple reasons why I do most of my dev work on a Macbook is because OSX terminal windows just work way better than Windows command prompts. Notably…
Apparently Linux 3.11 has been named Linux for Workgroups. How awesome, even if it is not really meant in tribute. This was the first shipping product I worked on at…
CircuitLab — worth watching. Today it is kind of a toy, but if this could grow, say, into a tool that would let me design and emulate SOC-based systems, and…
I have the attention span of a gnat, and too large a hardware budget, so of course I ordered a “Surface”:http://www.microsoft.com/Surface/en-US day one. I got my Surface on Friday. 64G,…
OK I have been diligent in using this phone, I really want MSFT to have a competitive offering in the phone space, it would be good for me as a…

I’ve decided to move away from the iPhone for a while, I just got the new Nokia Lumia 900 and am filling it up with apps right now. Why? Well,…
I’m playing with Windows 8. If you are going to go down this path, some “tips to get started”:http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2012/03/where-is-the-windows-8-consumer-preview-product-key/. I’ve had lots of troubles installing. The “same error repeatedly writing…

My Macbook had a motherboard failure two weeks ago. Both USB ports on left side blown, wifi chipset blown. (Blame Tekkcharge but that is another discussion). Discovered this at about…
PogoPlug Buggy With Drive Letters: Pogoplugged. Trying out pogoplug, key note here — you can’t control which drive letter pogoplug will grab easily.
* Scanaroo. The idea of something to manage all my cards is cool — one place to see account numbers, 1800 customer service numbers, etc etc etc. But this isn’t…
* Tweetdeck. Duh. * ECMerge. I complained to Scooter Software about the lack of a mac version of BeyondCompare, they kindly suggested ECMerge or Araxis Merge. Araxis is way too…
* Downloads: Fences is a Seriously Awesome Desktop Icon Organizer. This thing is pretty useful. Kind of like the “group items” feature in powerpoint. Wish there was a Mac equivalent…
