NSLog();

Someone sent me this. If you have thoughts, leave a comment: Erik, do you think I could use a G5, hook it up to the internet, get some software, iChat, iSight cameras, etc. and set up as a video surveillance and security system in my warehouse in [some city]? Personally I think that it may […]

Yay! And yay!

An excellent piece about the blithering dolt and longtime NSLog(); nemesis Robert Scoble can be found here. Robert, you're working for the company that raised "We rule, burn the heretics" to an art form. Oh IBM started it, and Apple may have dabbled with it a bit, but Microsoft, oh god, Microsoft has made Us […]

I have determined that MSN Search, like many things from Microsoft, sucks. I conducted a scientific study which consisted of searching for the word "Erik" - my blog was not returned within the first three pages (after which I got sick of clicking "Next"), yet is within the top ten results returned from Google. Google […]

I want to remotely control iTunes through AirPort Express. Maybe soon!

Wow. The Rasterbator can create some pretty amazing rasters. Upload an image and you'll get a PDF - 20, 84, 96, 100! pages - that you can print. I've sent a few images through the Rasterbator, and I'm seriously considering hitting a neighborhood Kinko's to have them printed. It's gotta be cheaper (and faster) than […]

It occurred to me today that there are some people that still don't quite "get" the Web. They don't understand that people use the Web for information. They don't understand that people feel more confident making a choice about something if they can type in "productname.com" or something and see pictures before they go. Today, […]

I wanted to look at the site for Bag Boy golf carts today, and believing the URL to be bag-boy.com I typed it in. Safari promptly displayed "Mac OS X Server: Welcome to your website" and the other usual placeholder text. I picked up two Express-GX push carts yesterday in silver/black: one for me, one […]

Introducing: the Halloween iPod. And other rejected Limited Edition iPods. And the Ashlee Simpson iPod.

I posted an article on The Sand Trap introducing that site's Atom and RSS feeds, and wanting to explain what in the heck "syndication" was to the unwashed masses, attempted to find a web page that did just that. The best Scott and I could find is perhaps this page. Is there a site out […]

Says Steve Ballmer, the man whose platform and OS ran Napster for quite a few years: iPod users are music thieves. We’ve had DRM in Windows for years. The most common format of music on an iPod is 'stolen'. To Ballmer: you're a friggin' idiot. Sit down and shaddup. Read more at silicon.com.

Of course, I don't filter all of my email through SpamSieve - some are "safe" enough that I just route them to the right folders: orders, email from some of the people in my address book, and so on.

Yes, like many celebrities, Zach Braff is an iTunes user. Kinda figured, right?

From an article on Wired: If Deng (Xiaoping) were still around today, he'd be using a Mac. I'd take him over John Kerry, I think. 🙂

I've signed up to be an iTunes Affiliate. Heck, if for no other reason than I can save myself a nickel for each song I buy, right? You can sign yourself up at http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/. Currently, I'm waiting to be approved. The signup process is rather lame and through another company named LinkShare, which, if you […]
