At long last, I have ditched my trusty Palm 755p in favor of an Android phone. I got the HTC Evo and it thoroughly rocks. I suppose I could draw the inevitable conclusions to the iPhone, but I’ll refrain. I’m a big fan of the “the right tool for the right job” and “stick with [...] I recently had the pleasure of doing projection design for Gustav Holst’s The Planets. The Butler Symphony Orchestra had it scheduled for a while and the conductor, Richard Auldon Clark, and I sort of joked about doing “some projection”. One thing led to another and whadda ya know- we did it. I thought that projecting [...] Well Apple announced the much-anticipated iPad yesterday. There has been a flurry of hands-on and other reviews, but at the outset I would have to say I’m underwhelmed. The folks at OWC have been offering a tablet mod for the Macbook for a couple of years now and I’d be more inclined to go that [...] Oy! It’s that time of year again. Nutcracker is in full swing at the theatre. I have to say- before I came to work here, I wasn’t much of a Nutcracker fan….but the Butler Ballet does a pretty maxed out job. The set and a lot of the props and such are from the Ruth [...] Monday morning and I am doing what thousands of technicians all over the world are doing. You may have noticed some strange posts recently…I’ve upgraded Wordpress to 2.7 (2.8 soon) and also reformatted my phone and the “post via email” feature suddenly went kablooie. Posting to Wordpress via email, whether by phone or other, is not terribly complicated…but the setup is a little tricky. This is a really cool feature and [...] Ever since I made the switch to Mac, I’ve been using Safari as my primary web browser and I’ve gotten really used to it so I was excited when I saw there was a new release coming out. I downloaded the most recent version of Safari (public beta 4) and it is completely cool. Except [...] While this weekend’s gig was fairly painful, there was one bright spot. To make a long story short, I am required to roll a couple of DVD clips for an awards program. The problem is that there are very few pro-level DVD players that allow the type of cueing that I need- and they are [...] As many of you know, I am a complete Palm freak. I have been using the Palm OS since r2.5 on a green-screen Kyocera 6035. That was the first generation “smart-phone”. I now use a 755p and I couldn’t be happier. I even got Julie on the bandwagon with a Palm Centro. Seriously, I have [...] One of the coolest things about Google (as if it could get any cooler) is Google Calendar. I’ve been a steady user for a couple of years now (and, admittedly, I’m a Google fan…hard to tell, I know…) but now they’ve enabled sync with iPhone, iCal+Sunbird, Outlook, Windows Mobile, and Blackberry. The most interesting to [...] |
