This is where I write about things that interest me and I think are worth writing down. Topics will probably be about-iPhone and Android, bikes, and girls. Well my friends say that's all I talk about. But that's not true, I talk about finance too.
“What phone should I get?” that’s a question I get quite a bit. For those that don’t know, I make apps for the iPhone as my day job and my main phone is the Motorola Droid on Verizon. So here is the answer I give- What provider do you use? Do you like them? Personally […]
Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx” was just released and this marks the one and a half year anniversary of my mom running Ubuntu on her home computer. I know what you are thinking, wow, she must be very tech savvy. Actually it’s the exact opposite. My mom doesn’t know the difference between Microsoft Word and Microsoft […]
