Well on July 16th I finally received my Google Voice invite.  (Ironically I received another invite to a different e-mail address the next day).  As soon as that little red badge popped up on my Mail icon in the dock I was clicking on that invite link.  So I’ve had a few days to play around with it (wanted to give it a good once over before reviewing it) and I must say, so far [...]

With social networking quickly becoming the most popularform of communication, people are finding themselves checking multiple websites to remain up to date on all of the goings on with their friends and family.  The reigning king of social networking is Facebook but most people have at least one other social network that they belong to (i.e., Twitter, MySpace, Flickr, etc.).  I am currently signed up with about 5 different social networking sites (partly because of friends who are using [...]

I am a frequent user of Craigslist and one of the problems I run into when using Craigslist is finding a safe middle location for myself and the interested customer to meet.  Enter Meetways,  a service which allows you to enter two addresses and receive a list of meeting points in the middle of those two addresses.  For example, say I was located in the Northwest area of town and my customer was in the Southeast area, [...]

There has been lots of buzz around Apple lately.  Most of the buzz today was surrounding a recent report of Apple’s factory conditions in China.  For the most part China has a bit of a reputation for not providing equal and just treatment of their employees so the fact that this report is coming from China as opposed to one of the other sites of Apple factories is not so surprising.  What is surprising is the fact [...]

Just an FYI – every Sunday I will be reviewing an iPhone app.  I download a lot of applications onto my phone, some move straight to the front page, others linger in the last pages and never get opened.  Each week I will review the apps that I love/hate. This weeks iPhone App is Prowl.  Prowl is a great iPhone app that utilizes the new push notification feature introduced in the iPhone 3.0 software.  Put simply, [...]
