Remote control your computer from your iPad
Some say that the iPad is a magical device. I won’t go that far, but it is kinda cool, though it does have its shortcomings — especially when you compare it to a desktop or laptop computer. There are just many things done much better on a computer than on an iPad, which is why…

Tablets will be the story this holiday season
The iPad has been out for a bit now, and it’s the tablet that all the others will be compared against as they jockey for position going into the holiday season. But overall, I think this is the year that tablets finally start to make some headway into the marketplace; a marketplace already crowded with…

Protecting your tech
When ever I get a new tech device, especially one that’s small, portable, and has a display screen, I immediately look to protecting that screen and device. I’m kinda clumsy at times, and anything that can protect my hardware from *me* is a worthwhile investment. I dropped my iPod Touch down the stairs last year,…

Yep, it’s out today (at 00:00 hrs technically), and no, I don’t have a copy, yet. My wife and I have been big fans of the Halo franchise since we started playing it co-op on the original Xbox years ago when it came out. Multi-player was never our thing, but co-op, now there’s fun. So yes, I’ll…

One month with an iPad; some thoughts
I’m two days shy of my first month with my 32GB 3G/WiFi iPad, and it’s time that I take a moment and jot down my thoughts about it so far. On bandwidth. Frankly I’m rather surprised at my bandwidth usage. My iPad is with me everywhere, every day. I use it to keep in touch with…

Offline Life.
The title of this post refers to something that is kinda alien to me. Yet, it shouldn’t be. For the last 20 years or so, my life has been online, in one form or another. Yes, I’m a digital nomad, living in a digital world, confused by those who insist on staying offline. As more people…

If it’s everywhere, is it special?
Once upon a time, not too long ago, in the latter part of the last century — say the 60’s and 70’s, consuming media was clumsy and cumbersome. It seemed that you had to make a special appointment with your hardware to listen to the latest band or show some friends your latest photos. You…
