The adventure begins
What started out as a pipe-dream lo so many moons ago is finally a reality. Life and work just have a habit of getting in the way of these things.
In any case, I aim to one-stop-shop manage my socio-sphere, with as much automation across platforms and APIs as can be. I will use open source and free tools where possible to facilitate this, and will look to augment as new technologies emerge.
I am also a tech-geek at heart. If it’s new, I want it. I want to try it. I want to buy it. I want to play with it. I’ve had the luxury of so many great consumer (generally) electronic devices out there, I want to share my findings in hopes that it may help someone, somewhere navigate the maze.
And sometimes its just wishing really cool things existed. Like a standardized way to taxonomize and facet-filter products. E.g., am getting a Kindle, (more on that later) and was looking for a great cover. Something without the hinge (horror stories on cracked devices – ugh), something that was book-like, not a sleeve, and finally something with more than just 4 elastic straps holding it down.
Settled on this one. Not that it doesn’t look like an awesome product. Meets all my requirements. But I spent the better part of Saturday hunting for this. And really only found this.
So I hope to bring light to needs, shine the light on products and people that have met those needs, and just kvetch about anything and everything I deem worthy.
I’ll look forward to hearing about things I didn’t know existed and solutions to problems I have.
