Android, Jelly Bean, the Cloud, and Google's Long Game
koppie — Thu, 05/16/2013 - 12:52
I've ranted before about Google's long game; see Google's Endgame. I 2011, I predicted that Google was aiming at a unified user interface. I was partially right. Google is still aiming at a unified UI, but their goals are going so much deeper than that. I just wiped my cell phone, and the experience gave me a taste of the future, Google style.
The Best Shave You're Not Having

The Art of Manliness says upgrading from a disposable cartridge razor to an old fashioned safety razor is like upgrading from a Pinto to a Cadillac.
It's true.
Yesterday I stopped by The Art of Shaving and picked up a blade and a brush. This morning I used it for the first time, using the Art of Manliness blog post for some direction. Wow.
Product Reviews: Sonic.net + DirecTV

Like every single other person in San Francisco, I had Comcast for television and internet, and AT&T for telephone service. And like every single other person in San Francisco, I got sick of them.
The Fight for Your (Thin) Desktop
koppie — Tue, 07/24/2012 - 03:06
For a while now I've felt that the Linux desktop isn't just "as good as" Windows / Mac OS; it's better. But is such an issue even relevant, as everything goes to the cloud? Yes - here's why.
Beethoven's 9th: The Original Mashup
koppie — Mon, 07/09/2012 - 21:41
I don't think you realize just how awesome Beethoven's 9th really is. Beethoven was a rebel in his day - the original punk rocker - and he broke so many rules with his 9th Symphony it's amazing they didn't take away his baton. (Actually they did; he co-conducted the first performance of the 9th but the "real" conductor told the orchestra to ignore Beethoven.)
Disneyland for Nerds

I went to Noisebridge for the first time today. It's this incredible, magical place. After spending all day there, I still can't believe it's real.
Open Source Legal Practice
koppie — Fri, 03/09/2012 - 21:55
I am still a lawyer, even if I don't act like it much any more. But I have a client right now, a criminal defendant, and it's time to write a motion. I haven't written a motion in three years; my new laptop is set up for web design, not legal practice. But this was one of those skills that was beaten into me very effectively, so I know what I need.

I like to cook. I like to blog. And now, the twain have met. Meet Daddy In The Kitchen (DITK).
Alcatraz: First Look
koppie — Tue, 01/17/2012 - 23:39
For once, I'm not talking about the island; I'm talking about the new show. The premise: In 1963 the prison closed and all the prisoners were transfered. "Only, that's not what happened." Now, they're coming back, and the team dedicated to finding them is made up of one corrections officer, one inexperienced-yet-plucky cop, and an overweight comic book nerd.
Thank You Comcast
koppie — Sun, 01/08/2012 - 11:12
It seems like this is becoming a common refrain on the internet. Let me preface it by saying that they're still better than AT&T DSL - I canceled that shit after one week, and I've been putting up with Comcast for over two years now. But I'm getting more and more sick of their abysmal customer service.
