HATCHsoftware.com is now online.

May 12, 2010

In my yearning to be an actual application developer instead of just a project manager who can direct programmers, I’ve decided to jump in with both feet and launch a site that will be part of my online app development experience. I want to code for the iPhone and iPad, so as I experiment and [...]

Making Your Bones 101

April 19, 2010

Anyone who has followed pretty much anything celebrity knows that to get ahead, you do first, and then ask for forgiveness later. Snap a picture, sell it, then be contrite.

Zynga attains the Litigation Achievement against PlayersAuctions.com

April 14, 2010

Pretty Quiet around here.

April 13, 2010

I’m going kind of nuts looking for content and constantly writing or doing research for each site. I’m at, somewhere around, 45 sites launched so far.

AT&T is not Triple Dipping

April 6, 2010

Carmi Levy is a writer who posted on Beta News today. The article is titled “A bill too far: With iPad, AT&T attempts a triple-dip” and in my opinion, it is just wrong.

March 27, 2010

If you are user of Facebook, you have undoubtedly been hit by changes to the privacy policy over the services existence. One such change is that you really aren’t in control of your information.

People Upset Over Fake Core i7 Blame Newegg instead of Counterfeiters

March 8, 2010

I used to have a sign in my office that read: Quality Speed Low Cost Pick Two. It reminded people that although you can get something quickly at a cost, it won’t be cheap. But if you want something cheap and fast, it won’t be the highest quality possible, and if you want something low [...]

March 4, 2010

Why aren't there USB slots on Cameras?

February 25, 2010

So, I’m a wannabe photographer. I’ve shot a couple of weddings, done some portraits, nature, candids, etc. I’ve shot with a couple dozen different digital cameras, and all of them have either been CF, or SD. In both cases, I’ve also used an adapter to knock the size of my medium down to MicroSD because [...]

January 23, 2010

Well, thesixtyone.com decided to make a change to the user interface and its experience altogether and there has been an upheaval of sorts. Some people don’t like change, especially when it is a bad one. So, I thought I’d take a look at the music site. I had forgotten about t61. I’m a fan of [...]
