Ecto Beta!

Ecto is without question the best offline blogging tool available on the Mac, and after a long wait the v3 beta was made available last month. I’ve tried a lot of these tools and Ecto offers the best combination of power features, ease of use, and productive points of integration (e.g. the Amazon helper).

Frontier Airlines, Just About as Bad as United Airlines

Normally I wouldn’t bother to blog about airline customer dis-service stories, they are the new normal, but today offered a full day of material.It started out when I attempted to web-check in for my flight home from Denver and the web site couldn’t find any flights for me. A quick check revealed that my return [...]

Buzzword Open Up

Adobe opened up their Buzzword online document editor to the public and it’s well worth taking the app for a spin. If I were to use just one word to sum up my thoughts it would be “beautiful”. In terms of user presentation, Adobe again breaks away from the pack and delivers something that is [...]

Dictators Unite!

Am I the only one that has noticed the level of hand wringing and condemnation over Pakistan’s repression of democracy activists this week is getting a lot more airtime than the identical events happening in Venezuela right now? Oh yeah, the same thing is going on in Georgia (country, not the state) as well.

Maybe Musharraf [...]

Meta Social Networking

I’ve been using a couple of new things lately that are taking advantage of social networking not for the purpose of creating yet another social network (YASN) but rather aggregating the activity feed of the collection of networks we use or simply bringing them to a consolidated interface.

Plaxo Pulse comes to mind immediately in this [...]

Twitter Thoughts

I twittered from the Defrag event instead of blogging it; not for any specific reason other than just trying something new. I liked it, here are some observations:.

The twitter storm (aka twitterhea) can be a little overwhelming. Fortunately for me, I’m not known for abusing my twitter privileges so I got [...]
