Talking Tech to non-techies
This entry is part of a series of #moznewslab posts that I’ll publish over the course of my time as a participant in the Knight-Mozilla learning lab. On the merits of a video idea“that will improve the way that online news is produced or experienced” I was invited to the second round of the Knight-Mozilla Fellowship....

Still waiting for Photosynth 1.0 and now they’re dangling 2.0 as well
I wrote about Photosynth last year, with great excitement and at great length I might add (with too much length and excitement some of you might add) and after all this waiting and not seeing anything come out of it, I’m now getting all excited for the next evolution of this software. The idea of...
I finally get Twitter! I believe! I believe!
I was an early adopter of Twitter, signing up for it in the wake of the buzz it created at South by Southwest 2007, but I didn’t write anything for a couple weeks, unsure of what I could use it for or even who would care what I had to say. At the time I...

Newspaper’s biggest failure and for some reason we continue to ignore it
The biggest failure of the newspaper industry has been failing to change and adapt with its audience. We all say that readership is down and that newspapers are dying (a moment of silence for our brothers and sisters at the Dallas Morning News) and frankly subscribers are dying (old age) and we aren’t getting new...

Another one bites the dust
No I’m not talking about Alberto Gonzales and the mass exodus of the Bush administration, I’m talking about my laptop battery. Yup, it can’t hold a charge anymore, and I’ve been very limited in my online time. Darn. I thought that only happened to Apple folks, seriously how many of you have not had to...

It’s like clock work, Canon announces the 40D
Yeah it’s basically an advertisement for Canon, but the 40D has finally been made official, that’s awesome! (Time to pick up a 30D on the cheap?) It brings the Live View from the MarkIII, bumps up the pixels to 10 million, brings over the dust reducing sensor shake from the Rebel XTi and is just...
