I don’t care which CMS you claim is the best. I’ve played with Joomla, then Modx, Wordpress, and my latest crush Expression Engine. They all have their pro’s and con’s. Some still more favoriable over another, but they are all great. Why? Because with the right support and setup there is no need to know [ READ MORE ]

Amazon Kindle the new iPod?

People still read. No really, people still read books. Where do you think so many movie scripts come from? Either way, the new wave right now is about ebooks. Just like how MP3s had their epic battle over the player and the store, ebooks are beginning the same battle.  There are the free books from [ READ MORE ]

Kindle on the iPhone

Released last night on the iTunes app store is the Kindle app for the iPhone. This software is free and allows you to read Amazon purchased books on your iPhone. The interesting part is that if you already have a Kindle, both original and new, it claims to sync with them and allow you to [ READ MORE ]

Why Open Source is taking so long to be mainstream

Its a tough fact to face that Open Source as we know it will never be mainstream. I know this is heresy for me to say. I mean I’m the Linux loving, BSD supporter, subscriber to linux journal and more. As I have stated, and will state again, the most expensive part of software cost is support. [ READ MORE ]

Cost of software

Software technically cost nothing to produce. The true cost of software is the development and support side. The cost to actually sell it would be be only the bandwidth.

I’ll be writing a longer post about twitter specifically in the future. Every company that has a customer support department, and even those that don’t, need to be on a social network. Twitter allows people to rant and if you are wise tracking or searching for your company name you can find out who is [ READ MORE ]

Groceries on Amazon.com

I’m sure you’ve bought books, movies, and maybe some other gadget off Amazon.com, but have you ever thought about groceries? I’ll admit that yes I do like grocery shopping, but thats because I like to cook. I still like to get a good deal and not pay too much. Thats why I use Amazon for [ READ MORE ]

Boxee and You

When people talk about a media center they are refering to something that can take all their media (music, videos, pictures) and have one central location for them all. Boxee is the ultimate, and free! Boxee goes one step further and not only will work with media you have locally but will stream from online [ READ MORE ]

Those of you who have an iPhone and are on twitter know that being able to post tweets on the go and read them is very important. Using the mobile twitter site, m.twitter.com, is fine for some people but I prefer using a native app for the iPhone. The first one available for download was [ READ MORE ]

Down with Flash!

Lets admit it, no one likes flash. I don’t like flash only websites, they may be pretty but they are very limiting. I don’t like flash menu/navigation bars because if they don’t degrade well they are also limiting. Flash is a pain, and that is why I removed the flash widget from Twitter and instead [ READ MORE ]
