I remember App.net with fondness. I was a paying customer and the community was awesome, pretty much entirely troll-free techie types, and I never felt awkward just jumping into a random thread or conversation. First was the great apps, and

The design app "Sketch" has an even poorer name, and they have done very well for themselves. I don't know how long it took, but they are my #1 result for the Google search keyword sketch . Also, I believe at this point in t

How many companies not named Apple are doing great hardware AND software anymore? Sounds like a cold world for these types of players... Seems more and more people who did both are simply picking one side anymore.

In many ways, Nintendo "created" Pokemon Go simply by lending Niantic their Pokemon IP. Side by side, Ingress and Pokemon Go are very similar... but the difference between being a marginal game (Ingress) and being a pop cultural p

I wonder how much of that "premium" segment is owned by Beats? Regardless of their quality, this CNN article[0] claims that beats owns a quarter of the total headphones market and over half of the "premium headphones" se

They have been doing this with headphones for a while now. I became acquainted with this when I had some headphones with play/pause, volume controls, and a mic for my iPhone 4S. After the 4S, I bought an Android phone and was sad to le

Not sure how accurate it is, but an article found via cursory Googling[0] makes it seem like a true-color photo doesn't have as much scientific value as other spectrum recording photography - different filters over the monochrome camer

I have a fantastic steel Schwinn from the early 90s, with grey splatter paint and all. A Schwinn Paramount road bike. Actually the whole story behind the Schwinn Paramount Group is worthy of its own post. The Paramount Group now makes custo

I've worked at a company where this philosophy was compounded on during the "down" days, where the company I was at was in a sharp decline. When the VPs and execs panicked, they started at the hiring level... They made a plan

I did this, but with Plex (I am a Plex user across multiple devices). I use the computer in clamshell mode with HDMI to my living room TV. Also, I use Rowmote[0] to control the computer -- an old Macbook -- from my phone and run OpenEmu[1]

Let's not also forget how certain neighborhoods in Seattle react as well. Queen Anne (Upper) and Wallingford, for instance, seem to shuttle homeless off their hills rather effectively. I work in Pioneer Square currently, and am keeping

Don't disregard arguably the best supercar of them all: the early 1990s Acura NSX. ;) Reliable, gorgeous, powerful, thrilling, and depending on when you bought it over the last couple decades ... A decent investment even.
