Rolling PEzHedz

Web 2.0 is all the rage. I don't even know what that means. Anyway, welcome to my depository of random thoughts and strangeness that I stumble upon every so often.

Twitter and My Phone

I haven’t posted much at PEzHedz, but I feel that’s all about to change. Up until recently I was using the web interface via WAP on my “dumb-phone.” Now that I finally got a smartphone (not an iPhone, mind you) I think I’m gonna go all mobile/citizenjournalism/vigilante-for-the-mundane.

I have been doing more twittering lately. I like having that capability at my fingertips. Being new to Windows Mobile, I was looking for something akin to the iPhone’s twitter apps. This brings me to Twikini by Trinket Software. It does everything I would expect for a Twitter client. I have it also set to only check for new tweets every hour, so I can get real work done instead of staring at 140 characters all day. Another cool feature is that Twikini is integrated with twitpic, so posting photos is a snap.

If you use twitter a lot and have a winmo phone, I say give Twikini a shot!

» What is a great place for Jeopardy fans to waste time?

How much fun is this place! Clearly there isn’t the same tension as being on the show, doing the math to earn a dollar more than what the opponents have in order to say “ha-ha, you shouldn’t have waged so much on Russian Literature of the 19th Century, Loser!”

» Why Twitter Matters

No sooner do I blog this item over at Fliptop, Robert Scoble sends this Businessweek article around on Twitter.

I feel so “bleeding edge” (yeah, with a service that’s been around for years.)

anyway, Thanks Scoble (http://www.scobleizer.com/)

» Joining the Twitter Revolution

I’m finally jumping on the Twitter bandwagon. Actually, I’ve been sending tweets (yeah, learning the lingo too.) If you’re not familiar with Twitter, it is considered “micro-blogging” where each…

Nothing new really, just want to say I'm here.

I guess i’m starting to get more involved with trying to keep up, so here I am, updating my tumblr. There’s not much to say, so i’ll just try to keep it to a few bullets:

I hate allergies. I’m stuck with them, and didn’t take a (generic)Claritin all day. My wife thinks it’s all in my head. I know my head is SERIOUSLY stuffed up, so maybe she’s right.
I just came to the realization that it’s been 10 years since I was in FL at Full Sail. wow, I guess it’s changed a ton since I was there.
I finally washed out my mug that sits on my desk. it was half full once… I let it evaporate into this syrup, the this black tar, then this hardened crystaline layer on the bottom. I can finally drink out of it again.

Diving into Ubuntu, I found this tip to speed up my internet connection. Maybe this is why video isn’t working?

Uses the following:

comment out net-pf-10 (w/#)

Then change to off. Gonna try this at home.
