Dear Reader,
I use iTunes every now and then to rent a movie for my iTouch; usually when I’m traveling. Last night I rented a movie via my XBox 360 from Microsoft and previously, I’ve rented movies from Amazon’s Unbox from my Tivo. Here is a chart laying out the basics of each of the three [...]

Dear Reader,
A while back a blogger named John wrote a snarky review of my review of Professional Search Engine Optimization with PHP. While his review was a bit on the “untrue” side and prompted me to write Just Say No to SEO, his blog was interesting enough to put in my feed reader and [...]

Dear Reader,
There is a great editorial over on iLounge about NBC pulling out of iTunes.
The best line in the whole thing:
You’d have to be stupid, lazy, or really honest to pay 2 bucks for something you can get in higher quality, with no piracy restrictions, and earlier for free.
Go take a read. Feel free [...]

Dear Reader,
I’ve been working on a project for a while now and it’s finally ready for testing. Queuebuddy.com started life as a way to help me keep track of movies I want to see but don’t feel like paying to see in the theater. (If you are really curious, email me, I’ll give you [...]

“I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow.” - Bill Maher.
I’m not sure how serious to [...]

Dear Reader,
Scott Sigler’s latest comment here on Postcards reminded me that while traveling recently, I started listening to “Infection”. Ok Scott, sue me, I’m at least a year behind on my podcasts. But I hate this once a week crap so I wait till the entire book is available and then listen to it all [...]

Yes, there is high drama on the web again. This time thought it does not involved the ever so cute but ditzy Amanda Congdon. No, this time you’ve got “Geeks in a Flamewar”. Allow me to recreate for you, if I can, the events of this fracas.

Dear reader,
I don’t often link to other blogs. Selfishly, I don’t want you leaving my page but in the grand scheme of things I figured if I found it, you have probably already found it too. With that in mind I want to point out 2 things.
First, if you are a programmer and you [...]

Dear Reader,
Anyone who knows me or has been around me for more than 5 minutes knows that I rage against the Hollywood machine and basically all large corporations that spew forth the content that most of us lap up like dogs. I hate Hollywood because
