In the world of photography, I am a Canon guy. It’s not only that I like Canon photographic products, but I have a big investment in Canon lenses which makes it difficult (read: expensive) to change to cameras from other manufacturers. My current photographic weapon of choice is Canon’s 5D D-SLR (Digital Single [...]

This will be my fifth year riding the Pan-Mass Challenge, a charity ride benefiting the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. It’s a great ride that raises gobs of money for a fabulous charity and a truly worthy cause. The ride is a two-day event that takes cyclists across most of [...] Fortunately, I’ve never dropped my cell phone in a puddle or poured coffee on my laptop, but I know loads of people who have. Typically, they spend a few days with a blow dryer trying to bring their electronic gadget back to life. Sometimes it works, but most often I hear that it [...] [Update: Mr. Gullible once again ignored the old adage - when it's too good to be true, it probably is. Thanks to Ron and John who pointed out that this was, in fact, an ad for Gatorade that was never televised. It's still very cool. I wonder why it never got airtime outside of [...] Many people, including me, have espoused the idea that wider use of diesel-fueled vehicles could put a major dent in fuel consumption in the US. One can look at virtually all other countries in the world and recognize that this is patently obvious. It’s easy to find diesel vehicles in the EU, for example, [...] In the last few months, 2-Speed Labs has been inundated with a virtual tractor-trailer load of new gadgets. I hope to review many of these over the coming weeks for your dissecting pleasure. Having just completed my second book on Amazon’s new Kindle, though, and with thoughts about the device fresh on my mind, [...] Who knew, right? One of the biggest sporting events in the world and, potentially, the most grueling, and I can’t even watch it on TV. My local cable provider has opted out. Such a shame, it really is a terrific event, even if you’re not a cyclist. Of course, the economics of carrying the [...] Long time friend and cohort, Lorne Cooper, has two new posts up on the AccuRev blog that are must reads if you’re in the software development business. Aside from his role as CEO of AccuRev (I am a board member and investor), which develops and sells software for software developers, Lorne has a long [...] My family and I just returned from a two week, if it’s Tuesday it must be Venice, death march through Europe. We packed as much stuff as possible into a two week “vacation.” My wife and I thought this might be the best time to introduce our teenage kids to people who don’t think [...] Saw this comment on several blogs today. Perfect! If you tried to get a new iPhone up and running or, even worse, tried to get an old iPhone or iPod Touch upgraded to the new iPhone 2.0 software, you understand this completely. For all the bashing Apple does of Microsoft for screwing up releases [...] |
