I’ve been keeping an eye on what folks are saying about their WordPress 3.0 upgrade experiences and it appears that most folks are finding the upgrade to be a pretty smooth sailing experience. Kudos to everyone who contributed to 3.0, this is not a small accomplishment (especially considering the fundamental changes in 3.0). If you…

The tickets for WordCamp Boulder 2010 went on sale today. The discounted early bird tickets have been flying off the shelves – it’s great to see such an enthusiastic response from our local tech community. I wanted to publish a quick Q & A to answer a few things I’ve seen circling around: What is…

I didn’t post many details in my previous update, and I’d like to visit some of them now. At the time that post was written, it looked like the user experience for Twitter Tools was going to look something like this: Download, install and activate Twitter Tools. Click a link to twitter.com where you would…

Acer beTouch E130 kicks it BlackBerry-style, but runs Android 1.6 (video) — Engadget – give me a fast processor and FroYo in this form factor and I will give Android another shot.

Received this gem via email (thanks Jim). I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was…

Yesterday I switched my phone number from a Palm Pre Plus to a BlackBerry Curve through the Verizon website. This was a pretty painless process, but only because I had a friend who had done it before and because I had some technical knowledge that made it trivial to track down the necessary information. I…
