I’m tweaking things a little by adding StumbleUpon’s new su.pr service to Pulpconnection. Su.pr is yet another URL shortening service (still under development) but has the appeal of tapping into the popular StumbleUpon “stumbles.”
Su.pr also has its own Wordpress plugin which makes configuration much easier, and su.pr even supports shortening URLs using your own domain. [...]

Can I blame ginx.com for the sudden surge of bars and URL shortening services (shorites) popping up? Ginx.com was the first service I remember that offered both services, but now it seems others are following suit. Many services usually offer one or the other, but more are offering both.
There’s the Digg bar and now StumbleUpon [...]

Old Bessie, our longtime washing machine, finally gave out, losing a battle with a waterlogged comforter. So it was off to Sears to find Bessie’s heir. We checked Consumer Reports and went looking for the highest rated Kenmore washer in the reviews (Sears has a sale on appliances this weekend). Other features we want – [...]

While on my recent Socal vacation, I didn’t have access to a computer for blogging. Instead I updated Pulpconnection using a combination of mobile devices and various Internet services. Here’s a rundown.
iPhone (and built-in camera). My iPhone 3G was the primary device for getting online. I used its okay internal camera for posted pictures.
AT&T [...]

Dang, my iPhone continually gets confused with the abundance of the default “linksys” WiFi SSID. Out of the box, Linksys wireless equipment broadcasts on a “linksys” network, and a family member has a “linksys” wireless network which I frequently used.
However, if I ever use my iPhone near another “linksys” wireless network, my iPhone associates with [...]

For an upcoming trip, I won’t have access to a computer which is a rarity. Instead, I’ll be relying on my iPhone with data stored in “the cloud.” The AT&T 3G network will be my access to the cloud.
I’ll be using the iPhone’s GPS along with Google Maps for directions. I hope to be blogging [...]

Now that I’ve been using Twitter for some time, I’ve noticed a change in the way I learn about new things on the web. I’m a believer and proponent of RSS feeds for some time, calling this technology a “game changer.”
But now, I find myself using my RSS reader less and less. I still do check my [...]

How did your Valentine’s Day go? Not good? Did you try all four ways of expressing your love? Yes, the classic four ways of saying “I love you” – buying expensive diamonds, going on a tropical vacation, carving your initials in a tree, and the newest way, buying a Cisco ASR 9000 router! Yes, getting [...]

How timely! Apple’s MobileMe got a feature upgrade allowing users to easily share big files with others. After uploading a file to your MobileMe iDisk, you can share it and get an accessible URL for the file. You can even assign a password and expire the shared file for added protection.
I needed to send a [...]

I just read about NetworkedBlogs and am trying out their new widget on Pulpconnection. Not sure how to describe this app/service other than it exposes your blog (and blogs you read) to your Facebook friends. Also, the widget displays your Facebook friends who follow your blog.

I’ve installed iLife 09 twice now (with the multi-user Family Pack of course!) and on both occasions, Quicksilver got messed up. Quicksilver is installed and still working, but it looks like its catalog of apps gets jacked.
Invoking Quicksilver to startup apps doesn’t bring up the correct app. For example, trying to run “Disk Utility” to [...]

Looks like the Switched Digital Video (SDV) tuning adapters are now rolling out in Hawaii. After an expected availability of December 2008, Oceanic Cable (Time Warner) is sending out letters to interested SDV customers to schedule installation of tuning adapters. Here’s the letter I got in the mail.
I scheduled my appointment with some confusion since [...]

The online video service VUDU has drastically lowered the prices of their set top movie player box. Normally, a VUDU box goes for $299, but as a Holiday special, the price is now $99. You have to read the fine print though since you also have to purchase $50 in movie credit to [...]

Did my Western Digital external MyBook fail? That would add to the number of failed WD drives I’ve encountered over the years. Only brand of drive I’ve had this many issues with. Time to switch to another hard drive brand…
Update: Oh wait, looks like it’s the power adapter/supply that’s failed. The [...]

Amazon recently released Amazon Mobile, an iPhone app designed to make shopping at Amazon easier while on the go.
You can even try the experimental Amazon Remembers that lets you take a picture of an item using your iPhone and Amazon tries to match that picture with their products.
