Everyone is still all gaga over the newest release of the Apple iPhone 3G. We can’t seem to stop talking about it.
And while 3G battery life seems to be the biggest complaint, the biggest win—without a doubt—has been the release of iPhone Apps and the Apple App Store.
And tonight at Mobile Portland, long-time Apple proponent […]
Sometimes, I get scooped. I admit it. I’m not always on the “breaking news” ball. This is one of those occasions.
A few weeks back, I saw news on Versionista, a tool that allows you to track the changes that occur on publicly accessible Web pages. It seems that the McCain camp had used the product […]
Last Friday was podcast day for me. And for as nervous as I was, I think they turned out pretty well. No doubt thanks to the talented people actually managing the whole podcast thing and me just having to spout off every now and again.

And not Lunch 2.0.2, but rather Lunch 2.0 also.
Josh Maher started a chapter in Seattle a little over a year ago, and they’ve been very active at both large and small hosts. I contacted Josh early this year for any tips and advice he could share before starting a chapter.
If you travel up to Seattle […]

I got an interesting call this week from Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB). Specifically from the Think Out Loud team. They knew that OSCON was in town this week and they were interested in doing a show on open source.
“Oh! No problem,” I said. “I can recommend plenty of really, really smart people to whom you […]
Vidoop supports the Open Web
Via the Vidoop blog “Over the coming months, Vidoop will be delivering new services that not only take advantage of these new specifications but also make them easy for users and companies to use. The reality is users shouldn’t need to know about these technologies but they will be the underpinnings […]
Today at OSCON, David Recordon officially announced the formation of the Open Web Foundation.
The Open Web Foundation is an interesting step in the ever evolving world of technology “openness.” What started with open source code and moved to open data has now evolved to the open Web.
And that’s an important step.
What is the Open Web […]
Wow. That just flew by, didn’t it?
