I’ve been using the mobile version of Virtual Earth for a couple of weeks now and have found it to be very handy. This appears to Microsoft’s response to Google’s mobile mapping application. The main limitation that I’ve found with Google’s software is the fact that it cannot determine my current location. [...]

While driving around in Dallas I get to see a lot of interesting vehicles. A few weeks ago on the way home from work I saw a crazy hot pink Hummer H2. On the way to work this morning I finally got to see a Lotus Elise. I’ve seen a few in [...]

Since I started working at SensorLogic I’ve been fascinated with the whole machine-to-machine space. I’ve been inspired to connect everything I possibly can to the Internet. A couple of years ago I decided to write a program for my P900 called BlueGPS, which runs on several Symbian devices. BlueGPS allowed my P900 [...]

My dear friend Auburn sent my one of the funniest links I’ve received in a long time. CareerBuilder has implemented a personalized monkey email that allows you to type a message or even use your microphone to record one. Using text-to-speech technology the monkey can then dictate what you typed. The monkey’s [...]

Push technology has been around for what seems like a decade and in the late ’90s it was supposed to revolutionize the web. It has become extremely useful for instant messaging, but there seem to be very few applications that use push in a web browser. About 5 years ago Macromedia released Flash Communication Server [...]

Sometimes I get a kick out of reading all the spam that gets posted in my blog.  It generally comes through as comments and you can see an example here:

Over the past year I’ve received quite a few emails from friends linking me to the Pandora site.  If you’re into music at all then YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS OUT.  Pandora was inspired from the Music Genome Project and its’a brilliant concept.  You basically enter an artist or song name and you’ll be presented [...]

Every now and then I like to post screen captures from my 8125. I found a great utility for taking screen captures that are saved to bitmap files. It’s called Pocket Screen Capture and is completely free. It runs on a timer so that you can prep the screen before taking the [...]

I spend a decent amount of my spare time marketing Jamie’s PolkaDachs business on-line.  If you’ve done any on-line marketing over the past ten years then you know the space has changed drastically.  Nowadays small businesses can tie into Google’s Adwords and Yahoo’s Overture services.  These are both pay-per-click advertising models, which helps drive more [...]

I posted a while back about my Cingular 8125. It’s an amazing device and has everything you could possibly need to work on the go. Now T-Mobile subscribers have access to the same device, although it has a little different form factor. The TMO version is known as the MDA.
One of the biggest physical differences [...]
