Sunday, July 3rd, 2011This is a Mac-specific tip, if you don’t have a Mac, it might just be an interesting read for you.

Whew! (WordPress Upgrade)
Sunday, May 1st, 2011Well, that was strange. Some of you may have noticed my blahg was down for a day or so. I tried to upgrade WordPress (to the latest 3.1.2) using the built-in function that I’ve used many, many times now and it did not work.

AT&T, Tethering, Data and my other devices
Wednesday, March 9th, 2011So, today I bit the bullet and gave up my iPhone 5GB “unlimited” data plan with AT&T. Previously, I was grandfathered into the “unlimited” plan, from the early days of the original iPhone. I looked back at my data usage since I upgraded to my iPhone 4, and only once have I gone over 1GB. [...]
It’s Official… I Am Now A Mosso / Rackspace Employee.

The good news is that they’ve replaced them with a new series. If you’re looking for an equivalent to the 2605dn, check out the new P2055dn. Hopefully the [...]
KilaDesigns.com is now live!
Monday, September 8th, 2008I’ve been helping my wife set up her web store so that she can sell jewelry on-line. We’ve been working on the store for a few weeks, and it’s now ready to go. Check it out! The store is powered by Zen Cart, which seems pretty nice. Buy something for your Significant Other! http://kiladesigns.com/

Dear Steve Jobs, The 3G Launch Sucked
Friday, July 11th, 2008Dear Steve Jobs, Next time you have the chance, kick someone over at AT&T for me. Thanks. Then kick yourself for allowing AT&T to dictate how you sell product. Thanks. Wow… purchasing an iPhone 3G was so not the experience I expected from Apple.
Apple Store Opening, Northstar
Thursday, July 10th, 2008Thanks, Stephen! Stephen twittered today about the Northstar opening… reminding me that I took a few pictures of the event, and promptly forgot to post them! Check them here.
Gigabit
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008I finished upgrading my home network to Gigabit today. I installed the final switch behind my entertainment center (if you can call it that — it’s more of a TV Stand / Audio Rack now).
