c25k - Week 1 Day 1
Well… For the first time in a long time, I’m going to give this whole “Exercise” thing another go. After hearing from several friends and the encouragement from some co-workers and my future brother-in-law, I’ve started the c25k (couch to 5k) workout plan. In short, it involves a 5 minute warm-up, a certain number of sets of Running then walking, and a 5 minute...

Applescript to Auto-Mount a SMB Share
I’ve tried damn near everything to get my smb shares to mount and stay freaking mounted, but to no avail. The last solution I tried involved modifying the /etc/fstab file and all that did was cause my mac to crash when the share randomly became unavailable. Yesterday, I wrote a simple Applescript that had:
mount volume ‘smb://user:pass@server/MyShare’
and everytime I noticed...

Tik Tak Zoo on Android OS thanks to Adobe!
Wow! I spent about 20 minutes changing a few tweens to work better with the Google Nexus One / Android OS (GTween works better than Tweener right now) and Tik Tak Zoo is running pretty nicely!
The intensive re-development (from iPhone OS to Android OS) process can be outlined as so:
1) Open .FLA 2) Change Target to Adobe AIR 2 3) Create Self Signed Certificate 4) Tweak code if necessary *...

Three Bookmarklets for Zuda.com's Competition...
My friend and designer of nearly every application I develop, Darrin Stephens, had his comic Aliens vs Ninja vs Samurai accepted into Zuda’s February “Zuda Contest”. If he wins he’ll land a contract with DC Comics for 52 pages of the comic which they will print and sell in a trade. This would be Huge for Darrin, so, I’m doing what I can to help him with social...

Let’s see… I don’t have any reception, so I pull out my new AT&T app to notify them of the problem. Doh! No reception to do that. And the app even nicely brings up a GPS map showing where I am. The GPS signal is much more reliable of course.
Dragon Dictation comes to the iPhone. Wow. →
To dictate on the iPhone you just launch the app, press the record button, and start talking. Your dictation can be a brief sentence, or a much longer treatise. Once the text has been created from your speech, it’s possible to email it, send it as a text message, or put the result in your clipboard. After recording your message, you can edit the resulting text before you send it off for...

In short, a critical view of BHO’s Presidency. Here’s the list, details in the actual article.
He thinks he’s playing with monopoly money
Too much Leonard Nimoy (leaving the emotional/human side out of policy)
That’s the Chicago Way
He’s a pushover
He sees America as another pleasant country on the U.N. roll call, somewhere between Albania and Zimbabwe
President...

TextExpander Touch + Tweetie 2 = Awesome Remote...
About 2 months ago, I started playing with TweetMyMac, and enjoyed how easy it was to remotely manage my computer using Twitter. I can send a direct message to a Twitter account setup for my mac and have it open/close programs, send screenshots and iSight camera snapshots, and pretty much anything else I care to write an AppleScript to do. The only real headache was the task of repetitively...

#2012 - I pray it is better in real life
This movie, sure to win the top of the box office this weekend, was possibly the worst waste of time I’ve experienced in quite some time. The special effects were pretty nice and the general idea was fair, but the story was poorly told and substantially longer than it needed to be. Think, “The Day After Tomorrow”, but longer and with John Cusack.
So, in 2012, it’d be...

iPhone Earring Giveaway = Apple Fanboy/girl...
Whilst float’n down the intertube, I happened upon a TUAW post about some jewelry made from dead mac/iphone parts. I’ve got to say, its some pretty awesome stuff for those in love with all things Apple and Geeky. The company that makes them, Powerbook Medic, is giving away 15 sets to people willing to “working girl” their social networks in an effort to advertise the...
