Fun in San Francisco
Posted by Reluctant | Filed under Personal, Random, Work, iPhone
Last night 3 co-workers and I left the Salt Lake City airport and landed in San Jose to attend a technology conference. Soon after checking into our hotel, we sat down to figure out the sessions we would attend the next day.
We quickly realized that we had come a day early. The first day was [...]
A doorbell for the geek in me
Posted by Reluctant | Filed under Computers, Random
I’m not sure how my wife would feel about this doorbell, but I think it’s rather elegant. A must have for any true geek. The problem… it’s not even close to available. It’s just a design concept from renown designer, Li Jianye.
Come on ThinkGeek, hope on the stick with this product.
It’s so cool, er, geeky. [...]

11:07:29 AM Emily: they were showing how corn is made
I almost shed a tear of joy… sniff, sniff.
That’s my girl!

A friend of mine recently posted a blog entry entitled “Conversating” that listed several questions/topics one could discuss with someone else in order to get to know them better. Seeing as I like to make your life miserable in the 21st century, I decided that I would answer those questions so you could all get [...]

iPhone scriptures (and more)

I’ve reviewed the iPhone in the past and although I love the device, it has it’s problems and I have my pet peeves. One of the cons I mentioned in my review was a lack of third-party applictions. And although I am waiting with baited breath for the iPhone SDK (promised by end of February), [...]

Interesting Factoid: Humber Bridge
Posted by Reluctant | Filed under Random
