QR code, Google believes it’s a buffalo. But Google’s wrong!

Google Kills Off Those Little Square Codes You Scan With Your Phone http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-03-31/tech/29979593_1_qr-codes-android-nfc-forum Why Google is completely and moronically wrong…. NFC tech has it’s uses, buy a coke from a vending machine.  Hoorah! But seriously, the appeal of the QR code is the simplicity in use and creation – it’s ubiquitous.  ANYONE, and I mean [...]

A friend posted about Code Warm up level challenge

Well, I didn’t have much time. And haven’t free coded in ages. I had an idea but it didn’t work perfectly. Tried to do just a mock-up and even that ran into trouble. (For whatever reason, my Level Up code is broken. It was working 20 minutes ago. But now _levelUp += 1; suddenly becomes [...]

Steve Jobs: The End of the PC Era

While I may begrudge Steve Jobs on many of his and Apple’s policies. I admire him greatly as a visionary. Steve Jobs & Wozniak pretty much ushered in the era of the “personal computer” with Apple. Apple brought a lot of innovation to the PC world. One might also argue that Steve Jobs is personally [...]

Highlighting a Row in Excel

At my new job I’ve been working with Excel & VBA Script. Something I’ve not really done before. I wanted the ability to highlight the row of the active cell. Makes for easier data entry. A number of examples are out on the web. However, most involve simply highlighting the entire row and clearing all [...]

Circles – A Concept of Social Networking

Google just launched it’s Google+ social network. I was very curious, probably more so than the avg person to see their system.  The result was somewhat a “bittersweet” moment for me.  For nearly 5 years I have had a concept for a social networking site. The concept was “Circles”. I even endeavored to register some [...]

Google Botches Big

UPDATE:  So I cleared out a conflicted email, which ironically was conflicted on Google tools I never really used. But it may have come down to posting on some Blogger accounts with the same account name. The next step is uber-intuitive. Google’s addition of YouTube service to Google App accounts is not enabled by default. [...]

Third Times a Harm (iPhone/iTunes Does It Again)

It would seem that I am cursed not to successfully sync more than three times in a row. So today I synchronized my phone. The result? I noticed an old app I had deleted. Bizarre. Then I realized ALL my folders were gone. Everything is re-arranged, altered. This occurred after I tried to purchase an [...]

TRON: Legacy

I have waited over 25 yrs for this movie. A quarter of a century is a long time to wait for a sequel… So here’s my review….I will try to avoid spoilers as much as possible. The new TRON movie is a bit darker, a little less playful. If I had to describe it in [...]

“This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone”

Is there a reason that my iPhone constantly has to tell me this? I’ve already come to the conclusion that there are no accessories that are optimized for the iPhone. Forget the fact that I had to spend $50 on a stupid cable to allow me to output video to my external screen.  Clearly, it’s [...]

AirPrint = dud

Well I was excited about the possibility of printing from my iPhone. Something that I’ve always felt was a missing feature to begin with.  So I figure I’d either have to install something on my PC and have my phone connect, or that it’d be very limited printing – but printing none-the-less. I was wrong. [...]
