  • Freshly Roasted Cylon

      I got this mug for the Schultzter for Christmas and when we went down to the Starbucks in Place Bonaventure the Barista’s totally freaked out and wanted to know where to get them. So Awesome Starbucks Baristas: Thanks for the Beans and Click Here to get this mug and support us Dads. Picture via Instagram…

  • Data Congestion Warnings for 2012

    In fact, according to a new report from network management firm Arieso, iPhone 4S owners use twice as much data as their iPhone 4-using brethren, and nearly three times as much as iPhone 3G users. The data is part of an overall trend of growing data usage among smartphone owners, with Arieso warning that data…

  • Building a Better Tablet

    “In 2012, XYZ Co have to build a better tablet [..] A REAL iPad competitor” I hear this far too often, and for all the wrong reasons. Whether it’s from die hard Google-Lovers like Gina Tripani, BlackBerry-centric tech-blogs or Apple haters, the top item on everyone’s agenda is to release an iPad level tablet at…

    Dungeon Hunter ]|[: The End of a Franchise

    I’m not a big gamer, I am much more of a gambler with fi.slotzo.com, but just like the rest of the Dads, I’ve been waiting a long time for the release of Dungeon Hack and Slashers: Diablo III and Torchlight II (not into Skyrim yet). Up to now, I’ve been biding my time with iPad…

    Those in the know understand the draw of the East End of Long Island. The Hamptons, sitting on the South Fork of the island, are a group of hamlets, villages and towns lying along the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Evernote vs. Springpad

    As you know from reading my last post, Arc the Herald Angels Sing, Glory to the Sony Ericsson! I’m still looking for a good note taking and task management application. I figured I’d be using Evernote since that’s what everyone else is using. But a comment from a co-worker made me take a second look…

  • Arc the Herald Angels Sing, Glory to the Sony Ericsson!

    Yes, I know, I’m going straight to hell. But then Lord Jobs probably wasn’t going to let me in to heaven anyways! It’s been over a week now that I’m using a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and I still always try to spell it Experia! Unlocking the phone to use on my network was the…

  • Neven Mrgan on Apple TV with Siri

    But the idea that Siri would be the main interface of Apple TV is as silly as making Siri the main UI for the iPad. Siri is good at letting the user submit hard-to-categorize, multi-part, uncertain inputs in the most expressive and effortless way we humans have: spoken language. I think TV mainly revolves around a…

  • John Gruber and The Verge on Native Apps

    The intersection of exquisitely-crafted native apps with ubiquitous networking and cloud-backed storage.  [..] Used to be that native apps felt best but anchored your data to the device, and web apps running in a browser offered you ubiquitous access to your data but had a crummy front-end experience. We’re getting to a point now where…
