If you’ve been reading PhoneNews.com, you’ve noticed I’ve gone back to breaking news again, on a regular basis. Basically, I’ve been busy working on a new project, and I’ve left the staff to take care of the news. Why? Well, it would make sense if you saw what I’ve been working on (this is where […]
Within the next 30 to 60 days, video podcasts will be coming. I haven’t really gone in-depth on what they would consist of, so I’d like to take a few minutes to expand on that. First, I guess I should point out where I come from on video podcasting. I don’t listen or watch many […]
In case you’re wondering where I’ve been the past week, I’ve been busy. I’ve been traveling back and forth between Sacramento and Silicon Valley, preparing for the big move next month. I’ve run into countless brick walls… and about half of them ate up the time I would have spent writing here. The good news […]
Back in June, I decided that it would be best to stay in the Sacramento area, as a means to weather the economic storm. And, that has worked, up to now. I should insert the common Geico-inspired “I just saved a bunch of money by not living in the Bay Area…” remark here. However, we’re […]
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this economy has not made an “employer’s market.” It certainly isn’t an employee’s market… just check the job listings on your favorite tech company. But, one of the things we’re struggling with the most, is finding people to work for MechaWorks. Part of […]
I didn’t really understand what all the fuss was about, when people told me that covering CES was so physically draining. I mean, CTIA is a three day show, and it fills the Las Vegas convention center, so a show one day longer shouldn’t be a big deal. Oh, how I was wrong… I have […]
You may have already read the open letter that I wrote on CentralGadget.com. You might be asking what broke today? Well, for starters, our server went down at 5 AM. Just for point of reference, I finally got settled into my room and went to bed at 3 AM. Two hours sleep… so you might […]
Last week, I noted in an article comments how my Windows Home Server blew up right before Thanksgiving… literally. With that in mind, I returned to my office this morning to back up my main workstation using Vista Complete PC backup. The backup hung. So, not giving up, I went to install Acronis True Image […]
With the latest iPhone update, I’ve found myself doing something I didn’t do before… listening to podcasts. Like many, I just didn’t see the need for them. If I want to watch a video, I’ll search for it on the web, download it… and usually watch it in higher quality than via a podcast. I […]
Where have I been this week? Good question. The tough financial times prompted our office space’s administrator to delay installing our new carpet… until after we moved in. So, I’ve been taking the past few days to empty everything out of my office, so that tomorrow the new carpet can be installed. That’s no small task considering […]
