For years I’ve complained that the only time I think to blog something is when I’m away from my computer and, hence, nothing gets blogged. My blog frequency certainly supports that. Now that WordPress for the iPhone is out, perhaps that will change and you’ll hear more from me here, as well. Time will tell.

Macworld’s Peter Cohen offers some sage advice to iPhone application publishers, warning them not to ignore the value of a true marketing and advertising plan. This advice extends way beyond the iPhone to really anyone who has a product they intend to sell. I highly recommend reading the article. Though Peter works for the competition, […]

We came back from our Memorial Day weekend away to find an urgent message from Citibank. My wife’s Debit Mastercard had been fraudulently used down in Mexico for a number of days, and Citibank wanted to start the process of canceling the old card and issuing a new one. This certainly isn’t the first time […]

Playing this evening with pick-up cover band KnockOff at Overtime Sports Bar and Grill in Beverly, MA. I think we start around 9:30 or so, but I’ll be there earlier than that to setup and maybe grab a bite. If you’re in the area, come by and say “hi”. KnockOff is a female-fronted, four-piece classic […]

I have not one but TWO MUG appearances this month. The first is in person at the Seacoast MUG here in Rye, New Hampshire on Tuesday, May 13th. I’ll be presenting my “Running Your Mac Lean, Clean & Mean” session that I did this past Macworld Expo, and perhaps adding in some stuff we simply […]

Tomorrow night (that’s Saturday, May 3rd) I’ll be playing with Ghetto Fabulous at the Lo Kai in Dracut, Massachusetts. Here in upper New England we have a slew of Chinese restaurants with attached bar/club rooms complete with big stages and sprawling dance floors. It’s quite odd to me, but hey, it works, and that Lo […]

Monday night I fly out to San Francisco for some meetings and also to attend ad:tech. This ad:tech is a bit different in that we (the Association for Downloadable Media) are presenting our proposed ad standards as well as guidelines for audience measurement. And, as it turns out, the former will be introduced by yours […]

The audio and slide-video from the “Running Your Mac Lean, Clean, and Mean” session I did at Macworld Expo 2008 is now freely available online.

On Friday night I played at The Peddlar’s Daughter in Nashua, NH with Knock-off, a band with which I used to play full-time, and now pick up gigs with occasionally. It’s a female-fronted, 4-piece classic rock outfit, and the gigs are always a lot of fun. But, for me, Friday night’s gig was more than […]

Last night I had the pleasure of joining Tim Robertson, Guy Serle, and David Cohen for a segment on MyMac Podcast #177. Truly was a blast. I also neglected to mention that I did the Mac OS Ken Day 6 podcast with Ken Ray a few weeks back, and it, too, was an enjoyable experience. […]
