Dragon Express, buggy buggy
by
The more I’ve heard about dictation as a means of text entry I’ve wondered if it’s something that I could be more efficient by using. Nuance, makers of Dragon Dictate, are by far the best game in town. After a bit of research I decided to get Dragon Express (AppStore). At $50 it was a…

Twitter Really is the Bad Guy in this Story
by
So I wrote briefly about the censorship of a journalist that was critical of NBC and they’re Olympic coverage. Sure NBC was dumb for filing the complaint but it seems Twitter is the real bad guy in this journalist censorship story. It’s hard to remember now that Twitter was once the darling of techies everywhere.…
Most People use the Native Twitter Client Anyway
by
I’ve talked more than once about Twitter restricting it’s API. Sure most people I know don’t use the native Twitter clients, but most people I know easily qualify as power users of pretty much anything they use.

Twitter, Not Only Screwing Around with Their API
by
So not only is Twitter screwing around with user data through their API, they’re getting in to censorship now. The article on The Huffington Post has more detail. Ultimately, the email address was public. Saying it’s not is like saying my email is not public (see my contact page). NBC just through some weight around…

Say No
by
The most important thing you can do to manage your time is to say NO. Most freelancer’s I know don’t say no to almost any project. This means they end up not having time to do the work they want. I bet if you take a look how you spend your time during the average…
Stay in Touch with What Your Users are Using
by
Good story about errors cropping up because the developer wasn’t in touch with what his users were using. Like most folks in the developer community, it’s been years since I last used Internet Explorer as my daily browser. Oh sure, we all keep copies around for web development work, but Firefox, Chrome, and Safari now…
