I’ve followed all of the hubbub about the iPhone tracking data story, and was dying to see what my own iPhone would tell me. I found a Windows program which would map the data for me called iPhoneTrackerWin. I’ve got to say, I’m more fascinated by what the data tells me than the whole horribleness…
This one is from way off in left field, but it explains many oddities that I’ve seen over the last 6 or more months, I think. Stick with me as I explain it. There are some goodies along the way, as well as the solution to this problem. At the very least, I get to…
These days, if you have a site running in SharePoint the odds of someone coming to it with a mobile device are increasing extremely rapidly. This is certainly true if you have an Internet-facing site, but also highly likely even for corporate Intranets. For this post, I’m going to pick on my friends at the Boston…
Those of us who use Windows computers are well used to the nearly constant security updates required to keep our software and hardware safe.

Tip o’ the tam-o’-shanter to the folks over at Blog Kindle for letting us know that there’s a Kindle app for the iPhone. Take a look at the Kindle For iPhone and iPod Touch post. If you read my recent post about my new Kindle 2, you know that I mentioned that I wouldn’t be…
I inherited the early adopter gene from my father, who had a digital calculator in the early 70s that must have cost him hundreds of dollars. He’s given me things over the years that were very cool: a briefcase stereo that played albums (remember albums?), tapes, and radio in the late 70s; a Canon XapShot…
I love my iPhone. I mean I *really* love my iPhone. I’ve had it for about a month and a half now, and it is truly an amazing piece of technology and extremely well done. As most of us who are fundamentally Microsoft folks say, “Microsoft take note”! However, here’s a little bugaboo with SharePoint…
