Quitting smoking (or day 3 without my iPhone)
About 3 weeks ago I dropped my iPhone. The screen cracked, but it still worked and I bought it at Best Buy for their $15 a month protection plan that allows you to get a new one if anything happens to it. (Other than submersion; which I don’t get. An accident is an accident.) I took it in to get it replaced and it was back-ordered. So I held on to it until they had some in stock. I finally...

I guess I should start with some stats around the iPad to help illustrate the hype they’re referring to. 1% of all Internet...
How is Tron Legacy like good social media?
Yes I know the movie has been out for a while. I’ve been busy! I was actually watching some of the DVD extras and found out that Joseph Kosinki, the director of Tron Legacy was an architect. My bachelors degree is in architecture and I understand that mindset. The job of an architect is to create the potential for relationships to occur. They create spaces, lighting and texture that...
