I got my first Amazon S3 bill: $0.62. Awesome.
Somehow the creation of the Share This/Share Icon forums seems to have corrupted a table in the forum database. Luckily, I’m backing up my database archives to S3. Connect to S3 via JungleDisk on my laptop Grab the backup Verify the table is ok Restore the corrupted table That was much easier than trying to…
All excited about my recent experience backing up some critical files to Amazon S3, I asked Adam Tow if he’d considered using S3 for his photo backups. Adam and I have talked about backup strategies a number of times over the years, so I was curious to get his thoughts on the S3 option. For…
Since I’m already being paranoid with my backups, I figured a little additional offsite backup for the really critical stuff couldn’t hurt. The simplest solution is often the best: Amazon S3 JungleDisk rsync I’m storing a copy of my important MySQL data (my Tasks Pro™ data, the data for this site, the King Design site,…
Since December 2008 I’ve been using the same Dell 30″ display. Today I upgraded to a Samsung 34″ curved display in anticipation of getting a new MacBook tomorrow. I might have been able to get the dual-link DVI to talk to an HDMI port via a variety of dongles and adapters, but a native HDMI…
The ear buds that Apple provides with the iPhone have always fallen out of my ears. I embarked on a journey of discovery recently and tested out a set of Panasonics and a set of Samsungs. Both work well and are under $15. I’m littering them in strategic places around the house and in my…

This is the first time I’ve done an interview like this…
I am quite enjoying The Newsroom, but the most recent episode (Bullies) definitely brought the Sorkinisms video to mind. The flashback-as-conversation-with-therapist thing is a fun storytelling device, even if it seems a little familiar…
I’ve been using a Canon G10 as my everyday camera for the last few years. It’s a great camera, feels wonderful in your hand, lots of manual control – it’s like a mini-SLR. Unfortunately, it’s not a mini-enough SLR, so carrying it all the time is hard. This is the constant struggle with cameras, small…
Should The Twins Trade Nathan? AaronGleeman.com – tough one here, some good points. Better Elevation – Forbes on the Magic Mouse – one of the things I like about my Logitech MX Revolution is the built in rechargeable battery and charging dock. John Resig – Google Groups is Dead – I’m pushing more stuff into…

Take a look at the post about the plugin on MailChimp’s blog, which includes a very cool video. It’s pretty slick, and useful – though I may be…
Since the Air is a little light on hard drive space I’ve been a little bit picky about what I install on it. It’s a good way to figure out what your “must have” apps are – this is what made the cut for me: LaunchBar – this is the very first thing I installed.…
There are two kinds of people in the world, those that have lost a hard drive and those that are going to lose a hard drive. Ever since my hard drive snafu a while back, I’ve been a lot more cognizant about backups. My email is sent to both FastMail and TuffMail, just in case.…
