I’ve been writing about the iPod speaker market for some time… well, I’ve spent a good bit of time testing and using them as well.
Easily the best portable iPod speakerdock has been the iH27 from iHome.  It’s a great portable speaker, runs on batteries, and has an alarm clock built in so you can wake […]

I know this may seem like a big uh-duh for many… but I went through the trouble of multiple iPod syncs and trial and error to find a set of NY MTA subway maps that fit on an iPod Touch AND remain legible, and I thought I’d share them with you.Apple has this annoying habit […]

I’m in Narita airport on a layover to Singapore.  I slept about 8 hours on my flight here from DC, so I am only moderately loopy at this point.
Happy to report at least the area here shows no ill effects from what was otherwise a serious rattle.  Brings to mind a great Murakami collection, After […]

For me, this was easily the longest business trip I’ve had.  Probably one of the more interesting as well.  Since March 27th, I’ve roughly split time between Hong Kong and Tokyo.  About half the days in Hong Kong included a day trip in and out of Shenzhen.  All in all, we kicked off a few […]

My favorite ski resort is going mental, in a good way.
Whistler-Blackcomb is building a ridiculous gondola that will connect the two peaks of their gigantic resort.

Some facts that make this yet another man-made marvel:

11 minute ride peak-to-peak
3.5 time longer than Golden Gate Bridge
Higher than 4.5 Statues of Liberty
Peak altitude above ground 415 metres
Longest unsupported cable-span, […]

My long-time friend, Adam, and his wife Danielle, have this uncanny knack of bumping into sports greats, and somehow being non-creepy enough to snap a photo with them.  Just today, I get this emailed to me, because Adam knows for me growing up, Cal Ripken, Jr. was the MAN.

That’s Danielle, his wife, and their lovely […]

Wikipedia is doing some cool things with photos… I found this one on here

It is pouring some hellish kinda rain with thunder, lightning, the works. Doesn’t come down like this in Portland. In fact, I’ve not seen a sunny sky like this picture shows in all the days I’ve spent here. I […]

So my posting hiatus has largely been driven by my manic state of living of late.  After getting back from my Asia-hopping tour in February, I spent about a week sick in bed recovering from some kinda nasty bug, no doubt contracted by bad Taiwanese Pizza Hut, or too much airplane cabin air.  Either way, […]

but it’s microbe density is too rich for my blood. I’ve been there 3 times, and it’s gotten me three times. Projectiles in all directions… nuff said.

Saturday, I am leaving on a romp around APAC. I’ll be hitting Hong Kong, Shenzhen China, Tokyo, and Taipei. Just a couple weeks before Chinese New Years, it’s a chance to sure up some projects and make sure the hiatus doesn’t make efforts stale.
I’ll be able to visit some customers, some suppliers, […]
