January 28th, 2011 - Cool Apps, In the News

This is pretty interesting, I was in my gmail this morning, and noticed a message that I can enable desktop alerts just by using Google Chrome.

Apple Nano Watches?

November 17th, 2010 - Apple, In the News, Thoughts & Rants

This is ultimately pretty cool, but very unusable as an every day piece.  I really like my watch for the simple fact that it is always reliable, I never have to worry about charging it, the battery dies once in a blue moon (every couple years), plus I don’t own a Nano, and if I [...]

Found this on Slashdot, and found it really interesting that the ‘top of the line’ microprocessor is only 128Mhz with 3mb onboard flash memory.

/rant on So I’ve been a loyal LOST viewer for the past 6 seasons.  I almost gave up on it last season, as it was getting boring, and nothing was being answered and more ‘questions’ were being put up.  But I held in there, I held on tight, and I thought to myself.  It will [...]

Drag images into your email messages using Gmail

May 13th, 2010 - In the News, Javascript, Thoughts & Rants

I read this morning that Google added the ‘drag-n-drop’ feature to image attachments to mail.  Which is pretty exciting because if you think about it, you are really dragging an image INTO a browser.  I’m really curious what type of Javascript handling you need behind the scenes in order to ‘capture’ the image / attachment [...]
