Exploring the Sony SmartWatch 3
Reading Time: < 1 minWith all of the hype around the LG Watch Urbane and the Apple Watch recently, the Sony SmartWatch 3 has largely flown under the radar.

Revisiting the Google Chromebooks
Reading Time: 2 minJust over four years ago, I first shared my experience with a Google Chromebook. Now I have a new one to play with and I’m quite impressed! For Christmas my wife picked me up an Acer C720, a very affordable and portable Chromebook. It sells for around $200, and was the top selling laptop on […]
Trying out the Google Chromebox
Reading Time: 2 minNearly four years ago I first tried out a Google Chromebook, a laptop that essentially only runs the Google Chrome browser. You can’t load any other software on it at all, which is both good and bad. The good is that it makes the machine very fast (considering their lower power and low price) and […]
Thoughts on the Google Chrome OS laptop

Gowalla destroys FourSquare when traveling
Reading Time: 2 minBefore I left for Disney, I considered Gowalla and Foursquare to be about the same. They both let you “check in” at various places (restaurants, stores, etc) and both have a bit of a game aspect to them. Foursquare is based on cities and addresses, while Gowalla is based entirely on GPS. While I’m in […]
Reorganizing my lifestream
Reading Time: 2 minLately I’ve had a hard time keeping up with what services cross-post to each other. If I send a status update to Twitter, does it auto-post to Facebook? If I send a picture to Posterous, does it go to Flickr? What about FriendFeed? I had I set up so many different tools that I was […]
Keeping up with life while at Disney
Reading Time: 3 minTony Dye had an interesting question for me: Aren’t you @ Disney, with the fam? How in the world are you doing this much research and twitter work? I’ll try my best to answer it. First, it’s important to realize where your time is spent as Disney World. The chart on the right should help […]
