Review: Couch to 10K
Ever since the initial February challenge, I’ve been running. I not only used Couch to 5K to prepare for the Bronx Zoo Run For the Wild, but I kept running even after that race. Wanting to take my training even further, I began using the Couch to 10k program in order to increase my distance and stamina.
How to Install Comic Books (And Other Files) on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
After last week’s article about Comic Book Readers, my friend Stugots thought it was interesting that there were these different apps that would allow him to read comic books on his iPod Touch, but until now had only used the Marvel Comics app. He wanted to know if it was possible to upload comics to [...]
Comic Book Apps for the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Droid
With the higher resolutions and better screens with our portable devices, the visual mediums have become more prevalent. Comic books are a century old medium of storytelling that tells stories of mythology, history, and of course spandex. While Marvel and DC dominate the comic book market, they don’t control the digital market yet.
Review: Powermat 2X
Last week at Obliterati, I was able to acquire a Powermat 2X in the gift bag. This device is not only a universal charger, but it is able to do it with minimal wires and clutter, allowing the user to do it with a minimal footprint.
Review: Couch to 5K
As I have previously written, my friends challenged me to run a 5K because I thought to attempt running again. The first time I attempted to run, it lasted less than a week (mainly due to work commitments) and wasn’t the best of experiences. Since Lucius Kwok introduced me to his Couch to 5K iPhone app, I decided that would be the program I would attempt to follow.
What Chirp and Twitter Mean For Developers
This week, Twitter made several announcements and held their first developer’s conference called Chirp. Some of these announcements mean big things for the users while others hold greater significance for developers.While we are seeing the immediate grumblings from developers we don’t know what far reaching effects it will have yet.
iPhone OS 4.0 First Impressions
One of the advantages of being a developer is to have access to things before they are released to the general public in order to develop programs in relation to them. If you are an iPhone developer, you get early access to major revisions of the operating system in order to make sure your existing programs work and to develop programs utilizing the new features in the operating system. I upgraded my iPhone 3G this weekend to try out some of the new 4.0 features.
Review: iPad
Like many others last Saturday, I purchased the latest Apple product to hit the market, the iPad. I gave my first impressions at the beginning of the week, but I have used it fairly extensively over the past week and hardened my opinions of the device.
Rooting the Droid for Wifi Tethering
I knew there was a community out there that had hacked the Android Operating System in order to gain full access to the UNIX based OS, like enterprising hackers had jailbroken the iPhone and iPod Touch, but I had no interest in doing it to my own phone. There were no advantages to my Droid usage, until I saw the app to tether my Droid with Wifi.
The Tech of Avatar
This past weekend I was among the last to see Avatar in its IMAX glory. It was everything I had heard from others. Amazing use of 3D technology, brilliant use of color, and mediocre plot. (And anyone comparing it to Ferngully, Dances With Wolves, The Smurfs or Pocahontas is less original than the plot) The one thing that truly impressed me was the technology used by the human beings on Avatar, and I haven’t heard much discussed about that.
