What was supposed to be a simple, five minute procedure… turned into an hour-long debacle. I wanted to print out a door sign for the MechaWorks meeting room at E3. Simple, right? I opened up iWork Pages, dropped the MechaWorks logo (in TIFF format) in, and the MechaWorks icon (in EPS format), sized them to […]
Since moving to Silicon Valley, I decided to give AT&T U-Verse another spin. I was using it in Sacramento before leaving… but of course I didn’t pass up a chance to tear Comcast a new one. I signed up for their teaser $20/month-for-12-mbps tier (which of course expires after a few months). And, of course, […]
I will definitely be attending WordCamp SF this year. Hit the contact links in the widget on the right if you want to meet up. E3 is also in the works… more details soon.
Here’s the deal. You’ve voted quite clearly that you don’t want MechaWorks sites to become glued to Twitter. And, I personally think that’s the right call. I don’t find Twitter to be of much use. That said, I do want to stop having to reply to the litany of “can we talk on twitter?” Which […]
It’s time for MechaWorks to have a social life. We’re going to be putting together some social events, and I thought it would be great to give readers of my own blog first crack at suggesting where they should be. So, sound off in the comments. What are some great tech-centric events that you’ve been […]
Let’s rewind a few days. Back when we started talking about HD on iPhone. The web site MacRumors posted coverage of our article, but the last paragraph pretty much sent the time into outrage. The last paragraph read: “PhoneNews.com has not been a regular source of Apple rumors and their last try wasn’t accurate.” Immediately […]
Between a depressingly slow GDC and an outrageously depressing CTIA… I caught something. Hopefully it’s a 72 hour bug. But it was icing on the crud cake that made the 10-day expo week I’ve been on. I’d like to hand off uploading CTIA photos to someone else, but the whole team is busy… and apparently […]
I’ve decided to try something new. We’re going to post a liveblog of all the stuff going on behind-the-scenes when announcing a new product. The catch is, we’re not actually going to talk about the product. Stay tuned at 10 AM for that. So, if you think this is all easy… take a seat. Members […]
The move is almost done. We’ve got a few things left to move… and a lot of stuff set up. The problem is the drive. Things have to stay operational, so it had to be done in chunks. Each drive is a five hour round-trip trek between Sacramento and Silicon Valley. Add in sleep… plus […]
The move, that is. I’ll be rather unavailable for the next week, as my entire world gets completely thrown into boxes, U-Haul trucks, cars, and (eventually) to my new home, and our new Silicon Valley offices. However, everything is set up there… wired for sound, internet, Wi-Fi, TV, power… it’s good to go. I just […]
