Odd question, I know. Let me tell you the story…
A long time ago, a certain web site had hidden slander forums. This was a childish, clickish group of idiots that were given special treatment, and hidden message boards. The admins of the site refused to acknowledge that they existed. Reason being, members were clickishly-childishly setting [...]

I just couldn’t end the day without saying goodbye to Tony Snow. I never met Tony myself, but I’ve watched his work since long before he became a household name.
Writing a biography of the man’s work is something I shouldn’t even attempt. But, there is one key thing he did that changed my life; he [...]

Okay, maybe a bad title for the day that MobileMe is launching, but I did realize that there wasn’t any real personal identity (to this blog, for example). So, considering we’re starting a startup… I figured it’s time to change that. You can grab the details from this post on the PhoneNews.com Blog.

You’ve had it happen before. You apply for something, you meet all the criteria, and get a canned response saying you don’t actually meet the criteria. You send a reply, explaining and asking for more details, only to hear nothing.
Or, you email that PR contact with the perfect questions… only to hear nothing back at [...]

Apologies for the lack of posts, but thinks haven’t stopped in the slightest.
I’ll leave the updates on PhoneNews.com to the blog over there, but safe to say, we’re working really hard on improving a few things. Nothing on the level of Snow Leopard, but there’s clearly some cobwebs that have cropped up over the past [...]

Making the transition to running a dot com startup is something I’m actually quite thrilled about. But, at the same time, it means I have to multitask countless things at once. In case you haven’t heard, MechaWorks is the new parent company that will be my main job. It combines the worlds of publishing, software [...]

I haven’t made it a quiet matter about being half-not-online these past 10 weeks. This actually was an intensified version of what has been happening the past four years.
But, that is now over. Because, as of today, I am a graduate of the University of California, Davis. My Managerial Economics degree is on its way [...]

I have some great news, I’ll be able to start cluing you in on what’s going on, my half-hiatus, and where things are headed… by the end of the week.
But just to tease you all, I will re-iterate one job position over on PhoneNews.com that we’re really looking to fill. If you’re a Mac OS [...]

In a little over a month from now, I’ll be announcing what has been going on, why I’ve been half-offline for all this time, and what’s coming next.
I will say one angle of this does involve publishing. As PhoneNews.com approaches its fifth birthday, it’s time to expand.
Now, publishing is just one part of what’s up, [...]

Pardon the dust… I’ve spent all the time I can this weekend on it. But, I hope you like the new look and feel.
When time permits, the top navigation and other elements will be fixed. But, it’s a huge improvement already…
Feel free to share feedback about the change in the comments.
