“There’s the iPhone and then there’s everything else.” – Sean Alamares
After weeks of trying to find an acceptable replacement to my Verizon Treo 700w, I’m throwing in the towel.
iPhone, you win.

Justin, you win.
02-Aug-07Comcast, Boo!!
25-Jun-07I just switched from Vonage to Comcast Digital Voice and noticed the following under Status on digitalvoice.comcast.net portal:
Firefox is currently not playing back voice mail messages correctly. Please consider an alternate browser such as Internet Explorer or Safari while we address the issue.
Seriously?
Driving barefoot.
19-Jun-07This is a rare non-Mozilla posting but worthy enough to share (IMO anyways).
I’m a Mac toting, blue leaning, carpool-loving Prius driver and tend to average about 47.1 mpg on my commute from “outer” East Bay (Pleasanton/Dublin). However, the past week’s weather has been much warmer and I’ve been driving mostly barefoot.
I was surprised to [...]
I’m a Mac? and why the open Web rocks.
22-May-07With prodding from co-workers I’ve shed the final vestiges of my Windows life. A couple months ago I switched my portable computing platform to a black MacBook that no one wanted (it seemed the perfect size to take with my on my trip to Amsterdam) and now I’ve replaced my desktop with a Mac [...]

Saturday’s highlight, if you may, was cycling up the the gates [...]

After failing to complete a single century last year, I set my sights on the daunting task of completing a double instead! The Butterfield Double follows an [...]
Ride Around the Bear
13-Jun-05This ride was hard. 100 miles, 9,000+ feet of elevation gain. Many hours on my bike.
What’s a Buff?
09-May-05Some of you have asked what a Buff is. Well now you know.
Hindsight
09-May-05I’ve been thinking a lot about Saturday’s race and what I could have done differently. Two things come to my mind most immediately.
At the top of Jack Rabbit trail, I should have just taken off my shoes and socks and ran through the big mud “lake”. I would have saved at least 10-15 [...]
