Well it’s almost here… My yearly sojourn to San Francisco to geek out with Mac and iOS users. This year, I decided to focus on iOS development while I am there, and am taking a full day intro class on iOS programming. You may ask, why take an intro class? I like to understand what […]
I was able to make the local Triangle DevOps meetup this week. The topic was how local email marketing company, Bronoto, has evolved their deployment processes over the last few years to address their incredible growth. Listening to Doug Hairfield talk about how the system admin team has changed from managing their production hardware as […]
So, what have I been up to lately? Shortly after my last blog entry I got sick. Very sick. The kind of sick that you basically lay around for two or more weeks, and can’t even think straight enough to read. What a pain. The good news is, that’s over now. The other news is, […]
One of the things that I try to do, every month or so, is work at a co-working site. My current favorite is Bull City Co-Working. The reason I like co-working sites, is that you feel a vibe in the space, of people doing great things. People who come to co-working sites, realize that while […]

The New York Times has been providing both Digital and Printed material for some time, and has erected a paywall around much of their digital content. It seems that their […]
After a week of work overload and ending up getting sick on top of it, I finally had a chance to watch the video stream of Monday’s Windows Phone 8 announcement – Thank you TWiT specials for hosting a stream I could watch after the fact. I got to see Joe Belfiore present via the stream, […]
Well…it has happened, Microsoft has launched windows phone 8(?). Unfortunately I missed the event, and have been a bit overloaded with my day job. I plan on trying to do as much reading Ho in the news this week, and try to distill it for the blog here. (Now I just need a few more […]
Well today I had a bit of time to watch the Microsoft Surface announcement from New York, and I have to say, I was impressed by what I saw. I’ve been hoping that someone would help push Apple on the tablet side. The team did a great job of building excitement during the presentation, and […]
