I Love Gadgets

→  October 13th, 2008  →  Blog

I recently started blogging with a couple of buddies over at the Xhibiting blog. The blog is basically a style blog where we post things which have caught our eye (we’re exhibiting them — get it? aren’t we clever?). While the others focus on more stylish things, I tend to populate the blog with posts [...]

Will.i.am loves him some crackberry

→  August 12th, 2008  →  Blog

I heard Will.i.am’s song “One More Chance” on the radio, and much to my shock when I checked out the music video on YouTube, I found what was practically a Will.i.am ad for Blackberry (the Curve, to be precise) – check it out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKqjRZVW5RE) Crackberry, it’s not just for consultants… Update: 13 Aug 2008 (Removed [...]

Opera Mini 4.1 Beta

→  April 8th, 2008  →  Blog

I’ve previously posted about my love for the Opera Mini browser as a great alternative to the Blackberry default browser, citing faster browsing (via Opera pre-caching and then compressing requested web pages) and a better UI as big reasons. More recently, they’ve added additional features to the newly released Opera Mini 4.1 Beta, including: searching [...]

The Blackberry’s Big O

→  January 13th, 2008  →  Blog

No, I’m not talking about Oprah or Obama or Osama; I’m talking about Opera, the web browser. Why speak of Opera when I’ve made it quite clear that I’m a big fan of Mozilla’s foxy open-source browser? The reason is that, with the exception of the iPhone and some of the more cutting edge mobile [...]

Google for Blackberry Gets Better

→  December 8th, 2007  →  Blog

Google has recently overhauled the two applications I use on my Blackberry the most (Gmail and Google Maps) and introduced a new useful one (Google Mobile Updater) as well as made a few interface changes to the Blackberry Google Talk applet. The new Gmail upgrade is the least polished of the overhauls. It’s a little [...]

Blackberry Cool, AT&T Sucks

→  October 14th, 2007  →  Blog

Alas, I know that my faithful readership has been wondering why I haven’t been posting this past week. Due to a certain internet service provider, which we shall call AT&T, being completely unable to provide basic customer service, I have been unable to access the internet from home. In the weeks to come, I am [...]

Blackberry 101

→  October 9th, 2007  →  Blog

Despite my protests to never become “one of those Blackberry owners”, I have, for the past three months, sadly and somewhat hypocritically, become a proud owner of a Blackberry Curve.   Isn’t she a beaut? After three months of fairly heavy usage, I’ve compiled a list of 12 suggestions and impressions for people who are looking at making a purchase or wondering what [...]

Addicted to Crackberry

→  September 16th, 2006  →  Blog

http://www.nysun.com/article/39212 I don’t know if this is funny or just plain sad. I know that everytime I get an email from someone that has the line at the bottom “this email was sent by my blackberry”, I think to myself “loser” or how lucky I am that, although email is a big big part of [...]
