The Problem
After about a year of enjoying how well my Ubuntu Linux home server downloads, organizes, and serves video files to my TV, I started to think harder about serving up music to devices around the house, and to my phone and/or PC while I’m at work. In the past, I’ve made my music library [...]

I received the D-Link Boxee Box yesterday, tested it out, and posted a thorough review on Amazon.com.
I like the product a lot; it completely blows the WD TV LIVE I have out of the water in all areas, and it offers a lot of good content that I otherwise not know anything about. Even the social aspects [...]
I bought a Kindle 2 last month and joined the e-book revolution. I love e-books for various, practical reasons:
1. Books pile up around the house. I don’t have room to keep all of them. Selling, training, giving, or donating them is a pain. Throwing out books makes me sad.
2. Books deteriorate. I typically purchase used books, and [...]
I hate getting up in the morning, and have long had trouble falling asleep at night. These two apps by Mobitobi work together to make it a bit easier.
Gentle Alarm
Thanks to the Motorola Droid’s dock and clock (ahem, “Multimedia Station”) mode, my phone became my alarm clock the day I brought it home. (Of course, [...]
If you have a consumer-grade camcorder, such as the Flip MinoHD (2nd Generation), like I do, you probably should use a tripod of some sort to stabilize your shots. Obviously, if your camcorder is smaller than a deck of cards, you probably aren’t going to lug around a full sized tripod. Luckily, mini-tripods exist, which [...]

The first app I installed on it was Locale, which promised to automatically set the phone’s volume, wifi settings, and so on, based on its current location. I thought this was a great idea: I could automatically silence my phone at the [...]
The record industry is dying, and that’s fine with me. It’s most important function, aside from distribution, is content selection. Record label A&R (artists and repertoire) acts as a giant content filter, which has its good points (you don’t personally have to listen to 1,000 lousy songs before hearing a good one) and its bad [...]
I just received and wrote an Amazon.com review for the Flip MinoHD 2nd generation camcorder. Here is my review.
This camcorder is meant to be used on the go, to capture fun or spontaneous moments, and share the videos with friends and family. I wouldn’t bother using it to record a school play or a religious [...]
NewsRob is a paid app* that I use every day to access Google Reader. You might think that it is a mindless luxury, because Google Reader actually has a decent mobile site. That said, the Android Browser is pretty slow, and loading the content often took more time than was worthwhile.
NewsRob solves the loading time [...]
