First of all, I really don’t go in for .mp3 ring tones. I’m actually okay with just having a beepy or ringy ringtone on my phone. However, custom ringtones do serve a useful purpose. Now that essentially everyone1 carries a cell phone with them, knowing that it is actually your phone ringing is handy. Of… Continue reading Roll My Own Ringtone

Sony Doesn’t Get It
Well, it looks like Sony doesn’t get either the Long Tail of gaming, nor even the head of gaming. From a story I just seeded on Newsvine (as well as my comment): Sony Computer Entertainment of America spokesperson Dave Karraker says Wii should not be directly compared to PS3. Interviewed by The New York Times… Continue reading Sony Doesn’t Get It
WordPress on a Terminal
In light of now owning a mac, I’m also in the process of getting comfortable with using the Terminal (I was somewhat acquianted with the MS-DOS prompt previously). This is mainly for the purpose of accessing this WordPress web site for maintence, etc. So, with that in mind, I thought I’d point out this insane… Continue reading WordPress on a Terminal
We Have Officially Switched
Angela and I got a new iMac a couple of weeks ago for the home office. First of all, I have to admit we feel a little dumb buying one in light of recent events which are going to suck up all our money and time before too long. However, we really needed to get… Continue reading We Have Officially Switched
Our First Ultrasound
Angela and I went to the doctor yesterday morning to have our first ultrasound. There’s not much to see at 10 weeks, but seeing a little flutter of pixels which the nurse referred to as a heartbeat was a great sense of both relief and excitement. The nurse also quickly pointed out the head of… Continue reading Our First Ultrasound

What Is Lost About?
Damon Lindelof, co-creator and executive producer on what Lost is all about: “This show is about people who are metaphorically lost in their lives, who get on an airplane and crash on an island and become physically lost on the planet Earth, and once they are able to metaphorically find themselves in their lives again,… Continue reading What Is Lost About?
Get You’re $100 Laptop for $300
The general public in the Western world will be able to purchase the MIT/Negroponte OLPC ($100 laptop) after all. The catch? “customers will have to buy two laptops at once — with the second going to the developing world.” Looks like eBay will be handling the sales and the laptop will initially go for around… Continue reading Get You’re $100 Laptop for $300
We’re Having A Baby
Well, it’s probably the worst kept secret of our lives, but just so the whole world knows: …and we’re both really excited. We had our first doctor’s visit this afternoon and everything looks great! So, around late August the whole world will get to know baby Coleman-Dyer (or Dyer-Coleman, we’re still working that out). We’ve been dying… Continue reading We’re Having A Baby
MacWorld SF – 2007 Edition
It looks like this is an annual thing for me, so I’ll give it another go. Angela and I are ever-so-slowly making the shift (back) towards using Apple hardware and software in our lives, so I do have quite a bit of interest in MacWorld each year. Plus, it’s nice to watch the stock jump!… Continue reading MacWorld SF – 2007 Edition
