Starting Sunday, I will be falling off the face of the web.
I will be generally unavailable as I spend every waking moment preparing to ship iConsole Alpha 1.
What I’ll be doing is adding the final bits of code to the release, beginning the testing, and making final server arrangements with the web team to ensure [...]

About a week ago, someone asked me if iConsole would support VPN. I paused and answered flatly that yes, it would in an upcoming release… but the pause wasn’t to come up with an answer.
The real question that came to my mind wasn’t “will iConsole support VPN?” Instead, I read that question as “how should [...]

It seems like a good year since we unveiled Project Full Circle… back in September.
Since then, a lot has happened, but today marks the first day that you can sign up to tap into all that R&D that we’ve been brewing up over the past couple of years.
So, without further ado, head on over to [...]

I’ve been in Silicon Valley for the past six months, and, well, it’s been a bumpy ride. From apathy to a lot of companies ready and willing to zap our cash at MechaWorks… yeah, the economy is still pretty bad out here.
And, with that, we’ve started looking at other options. One of those, is Las [...]

Yes, I have been tweeting quite a bit, and some of the content of that has slipped through the blog. I’ll try to keep that more in-balance going forward.
But, to avoid any more slipping up, I’ve added a Twitter widget to the right side of the site, right below the link to my contact form.
And, [...]

We’re going to begin the rebrand to Newsroom Network this week, in-line with our plan to have it completed by year’s end.
CheapenGadget.com will be the first site to get rebranded, with an all-new name as well. What’s the new name? Well, you’ll have to wait until later this week to find out.
Since it’s all still [...]

Well, two weeks without a blog post usually requires an explanation… I don’t want people to think I’m getting out of touch.
We’ve been hard at work with Full Circle, taking some great feedback in. Probably the best feedback we’ve gotten is on how to avoid being considered yet another Phantom console (something I’ve coined “Phantom [...]

I decided to take on the first wave of Full Circle questions, on the AnimeNation forum of all places. I’m not a member there, but the team said they had raised some of the best questions on there… and a few “why do I want another thing like Chrome OS on my computer.”
So, I answered [...]

This weekend, PhoneCashback.net
Later this week, MobileEdition (for real’s this time, unless Apple decides to be a sadist once again).
End of the week, something completely different.
All three are relatively in the can, so we expect this to go without a hitch.
All for now… back to sitting on a beach, earning twenty percent.

Apple gave all iPhone developers some additional work to submit new apps, and we weren’t expecting that on launch week. So, MobileEdition will be delayed for additional testing… only by a couple of days (not counting the weekend). We still expect the first MobileEdition-powered sites to be in Apple’s hands by mid-week.
In case you’re wondering [...]
