This is a very ambitious project that looks to create a lightweight operating system focused on streamlining the average user’s computer experience. Chrome OS consists of ONLY the Google Chrome browser running on a small linux kernel and some [...]

I’ve been spending a lot of time during the past two weeks watching baseball. This is pretty unusual for me since I’m not typically a baseball fan. There’s just something about the playoffs that gets my attention. Since I’m not a huge fan, there are still a lot of things about the sport that are [...]

Ever since Wave launched an invite-only preview on September 30th, the internet has been buzzing with questions, tips, and invite requests. Google Wave has been a trending topic on Twitter for weeks, and tweets requesting invites are still pouring in. My own blog [...]

About three weeks ago I began searching for a new hosting provider. Currently, all of my websites are hosted on a shared hosting account with Lunarpages. I’ve been hosting with them for about 6 years and I am still extremely happy with their services. I’ve been looking for a new hosting provider with some more [...]

MobileMe is a rebranding of Apple’s .Mac service that has been around for 7 years. The new service promised some cool features and most importantly, “push” email, contacts, and [...]

If you’re anything like me, you love to look at stats! I love charts, graphs, tables, pretty colors… etc. Google Analytics is one of the fun places I like to go when I’ve got time to kill on the web. Last week I added the Penn State Snowboard Club’s site, which I built two years [...]

I’ve been exploring the new Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system for two weeks now. With the help of some blogs and discussions with some nerdy friends of mine (you guys rock!), I figured out a bunch of small but powerful tweaks that were included in this version of OS X. Today I want [...]

I took the day off to travel to Albany, NY for the weekend. Our flight landed in Albany just before 9:30am and we made it to the Apple store a few minutes after 10. I picked up my copy of Snow Leopard and the whole experience was a little anti-climatic. I was in and out [...]
