Blackberry Storm 2 trying to get noticed
Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
Hey, over here! The release of the Blackberry Storm 2 on the Verizon’s network, yesterday, seemed to be the least publicized event in quite some time. This product that has the ability to hold or expand RIM’s market share (currently at approx. 40%), but with the marketing and pizazz of a Kleenex commercial, fails to [...]

This is something that I thought people who use twitter would enjoy. There are many Twitter-isms and specialty formatting items associated with the micro-blogging platform. You can also check out the Twitter 101 site. Searching for something: Operator Finds tweets… twitter search containing both “twitter” and “search”.

Posted on 28. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
All browsers crash. I don’t care what anyone says. But running Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Beta 1, I found a cool little feature. Previously, when your browser crashed, you would have the option of restoring upon restart. Many browsers (IE, Safari, Opera) are offering this feature now.

The Morning Commute- Teaneck to Brooklyn
Posted on 20. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
I thought it would be a little fun to make a video log of my commute to/from Brooklyn. Nothing of consequence happened on the way, this morning, but there is always fun in seeing the very slow and worn system that gets us where we need to go everyday. The morning starts at 5:20am. Waiting [...]

DISQUS- Commenting platform for your Blog
Posted on 16. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
Like most people, I think the default comments section in WordPress sucks. WordPress, as a platform, is probably one of the best. I have used others, but WP is now grown into a very powerful tool-set, with so many plug-in choices, auto-install and updates. The biggest weakness for most sites is the comments section. You [...]
