A whole two days early, my G1 arrived on my doorstep. And now, for your viewing pleasure, the unboxing, and for your reading enjoyment, my first impressions of this snazzy new phone and it’s Google-developed OS, Android.
I will say right now that this won’t be the first or last of Android unboxing posts, and as [...]

Admittedly, I’m an Internet n00b (does anyone even say that anymore?) Sure, I was chatting away with the best of ‘em on AOL in 1995, but it’s only within the last year (since I began work at an internet marketing company) that I’ve thought to embrace any browser other than Internet Explorer, any email client [...]

I realize that everyone’s probably already sick to death of hearing about Chrome, but I thought I’d chime in anyway.

My awesome Lorem Ipsum shirt provided by TeeFury, makers of fine, rare designer tshirts.
First off, it was great to see everybody again! I had missed the last two Media Makers events and kicked myself pretty hard both times. Thanks to my cat and the fact that I have a memory like a (rusted) steel trap, [...]
