I love Wordpress. It’s an excellent blogging platform. I love my iPod Touch and my wife’s iPhone. Now I get to play with them together as Wordpress has been released on the iTunes App store, and of course, it’s free.
I can’t see myself doing long posts with it as using the portrait keyboard on [...]

I’m usually the one to give the technical help, but now I turn to everyone for my own technical help as I can’t find this answer anywhere - but I’m still looking.
I am using Firefox to access Outlook Web Access and everything works just fine. But I noticed somewhere along the line, I think with [...]

This will be an almost exact duplicate of a post I made nearly one year ago about Infoworld and how they made the decision to clog my RSS reader with their advertisements, so I made the decision to unsubscribe. Today I get to say the same thing about eWeek, but their feeds are even worse. [...]
I have always relied on the design of others for my Wordpress site. There are some really, really talented people out there and I’ve been very happy with the themes they provide. But I decided to play with CSS a little and modified a Theme I found that happened to be a modification of someone [...]

Phenominal. This Touch is the best gadget I’ve ever owned.
Thanks to the creators [...]

I just read about an excellent Wordpress plugin for the iPhone and the iPod Touch called iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Theme.
It’s almost too easy. I was starting to mess around with detecting the iPhone via wordpress when someone else has done all the work with a simple theme and plugin. Fantastic job. [...]

I’m trying. Really I am. I’ve read Robert Scoble’s stuff and watched his videos for a few years now and, for the most part, I’ve really enjoyed what he does. But you know how you can say “I could eat pizza every day of the year” and then you’re sick of it [...]

I forced myself to go back to Safari when the beta for version 3 came out. I now run the nightly builds of Webkit as well. Overall version 3 is much nicer than version 2, but there is still one thing about Safari that is just driving me crazy - Wordpress. I host this blog [...]
Infoworld wins. I have read Infoworld for what seems like forever. They were one of the first RSS feeds I subscribed to that embedded advertisements in the feed, which someone probably got promoted for, but it drove me crazy. Always really disliked that. Ranks right up there with only providing just a few lines of [...]
