I’ve found a new best friend as a parent – Hulu. My twin boys have been watching movies all afternoon. That was a welcome rescue since they’ve been trapped inside all day. — Post From My iPhone

So far I’ve been pretty pleased with Chase bank. The tellers are generally friendly and the online banking site is pretty good – so far. About 2 weeks ago, when I ported my Verizon number over to AT&T for my new iPhone, I noticed that I stopped receiving text alerts from my Chase account for transactions. I logged into my …

As most of you are aware, I switched over to an iPhone a couple of weeks ago. I’ve got to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Just the Google Sync (calendar and contacts) feature alone is worth the money spent. Then there is the Apps Store – this is arguably one of the most addictive things for the iPhone. …

Well I’ve had my iPhone for a week now. So far I love it. There are a lot of cases where I don’t have to take my laptop – I can just take my phone. This is my first test from the iPhone using iblogger. We will see how it turns out. I tried blogpress for the iPhone but it’s …

Well I finally bit the bullet and purchased an iPhone. That means I had to port my phone number from Verizon to AT&T – so you may have gotten an “out of service” message yesterday between 5pm and 6pm while the migration took place.

Well, it seems that I now have another reason to NOT recommend Carbonite for backup services. As most of you know, I have been using and recommending JungleDisk as my backup service of choice. So far, I’ve been very pleased with its performance, features, and support. It makes recovering from disaster very easy. I can also use it for version …

I don’t want to let my home phone number go, but, I’m tired of paying att too much just for local calls. I know you use Skype and have been using it. I know you like it, too. Is it worth …

I just reviewed a great interview with Brendan Eich, CTO of Mozilla. If you are using Firefox and are interested in how something free is organized and directed, this is a great video to watch. It takes about 10 mins. http://video.zdnet.com/CIOSessions/?p=347 Brendan discusses organizing open source contributors, how Google Chrome is affecting the Firefox strategy, and other things.

This is one of those little aggravating things that I finally decided to blog about. Have you ever been to a convience store (or some merchant) that required you to purchase at least $5 in order to use your credit card? I’ve encountered this a few times when I stop to get my kids a Dr. Pepper or something – …
