My Latest Project – iphonehints.com

I owned iPhoneHints.com since last December, and it came about because I truely believe that handheld computing and pervasive connectivity is leading toward a future of augmented reality and a bifurcated self. We can exist in two world simultaneously.

Doing so of course takes a fair degree of discipline, control and patience to get systems to work the way they want.

I want to help others get those systems the way they want them to be. Hence iPhoneHints. I also just want to see the power of Drupal as a community platform in this context. Drink the koolaid, and all that.

Since iPhone is trademarked, are you concerned that you will lose the rights to the domain much like all of the iPod sites did?

Cool stuff, but using Control4 is cheating. And expensive.

This is so cool. Love that under New York is this hidden world of old.

So, its not as good in the screen, the speed, weight, cell modem, video or apps, and yet is a competitor? How?

I find it amusing that the same people who lament, mock and take glee in the demise of traditional media are very happy that one of the hallmarks of "New Media" - Techmeme - got a (deserved) profile in the New York Times.

I just had a heart attack and vowed that we will never, ever get a pool in our backyard. EVER.

Pretty much sums up my feelings on Android. I fear as well that with the rapid pace of "This is the BEST ANDROID PHONE ON THE MARKET" -- seemingly every three weeks -- we are nearly to the point where one company (say HTC) will cause an Osborne Effect on another manufacturer (say, Motorola or Samsung). It is only in each companies best interest to have the worlds best Android phone (WBAP for short). I fear its about to get nasty.

Ancillary data produced by your business can become more valuable than the profits from the business itself. Don't throw anything away.

R.E.M. should, one random day, close down College Ave between Broad and Washington, setup a stage, play, pack up and head back into their office. Unannounced.
