Well it’s official, my little Adobe AIR application is finally in beta, and available for you, your friends, and your spouses to download.

  • Posted: January 24th, 2008

3 Ideas to make the photo app even better.
1. Improve your tagging system.
Tagging photos isn’t such a big deal when your working with 5-15 photos but once you go up from there, it can be extremely time consuming. There’s times when I’ve snapped 50 photos at the same party with most of the same people. […]

What happened to my favorite browser?

  • Posted: December 11th, 2007

I’ll start by saying, I love Firefox. I love Firefox’s community, the plugins, even their logo kicks ass. But lately I’ve been getting real fed up with it’s unexpected shutdowns. Is it just me or has Firefox been notoriously buggy the last 3 months? Everyday it crashes a minimum 2-3x. I find consistently on any […]
