Seriously trivial thoughts
I’ve been playing with Slacker a lot recently due to their free one-month Premium service. I blogged about it here. I am really liking the iPhone and iPad apps a lot, and I also like their playlists. However, with the introduction of their On Demand feature, where you can play specific songs, they *REALLY* need …
I wonder if there is any relationship between Newsstand.com and Apple’s announced Newsstand service. I haven’t seen anyone mention this, but Newsstand.com has been delivering newspapers digitally for a long time. I mentioned them in my PC Mag vs MaximumPC digital subscription clients post back in Feb 2009. If there is no relationship, Newsstand.com must be …

The tire pressure monitor sensor (TPMS) light had been illuminated for a while on my 2008 Lexus RX350 even though all my tires, including spare, were at or higher than the recommended PSI. I scoured the web for a solution, but it took me a long time to sift through the many forum posts and …
I walked past this car today and *HAD* to snap some pictures. Amazing…
UPDATE 1/2/14: Click here to see my new post on cooking oatmeal I’ve been a big fan of steel-cut oatmeal, but have developed a craving for the goopy oatmeal they serve at this cafeteria I’ve been frequenting recently. I knew it wasn’t steel-cut and it didn’t seem to be regular old-fashion oatmeal either; however, my research …
I’m a big believer in writing things down so I don’t forget to do them. To help me, I’ve used many electronic to-do list apps, but nothing has ever really clicked for me. I even tried hand-written paper lists a couple years back. The Problem With To-Do Lists Apps The primary problem for me with …
