  • Backup Your WordPress Blog With VaultPress
    by James
    Posted June 28th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
    It's been months in private beta, accessible only to a select few (even I didn't get a Golden Ticket as much as I begged Matt). But irregardless of that, the Automattic designed VaultPress backup solution for your self-hosted WordPress blog is finally exiting private beta. For some background on the product itself, check out a post I wrote back in March on THE Tech Scoop here. Essentially, VaultPress is built on the compute grid that serves the over 11 million WordPress.com blogs and ...
  • Make A Difference With Touch To Give

    During my weekly search of the latest and greatest in the Apple App Store I happened upon something that actually caused me to pause and reflect a bit. An app that allowed you to give to charity. A bit of background as to why I liked the idea of this app so much. When holidays and my birthday comes around, I typically tell folks instead of buying me material gifts take that money and donate it to a charity in my name. For a while my family couldn't grasp that and I'd still get the package of...
  • Why WordPress 3.0 Will Be So Good
    by James
    Posted May 11th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
    Fresh on the heels of  WordCampSF many of us users, enthusiasts, business people and developers are anxiously waiting the forthcoming major release to WordPress. Version 3.0 will bring about some much sought after functionality to the CMS/blogging platform that has seen tremendous growth in its user base within the past couple of years. There are numerous enhancements, but here I'm going to focus on what I feel are the Big 3 (in no specific order). 1. Multi-Site The functionality th...
  • PlacePop Review

    Review post courtesy of @Dr_Malcolm on Twitter. Ok, here I sit reviewing a website as a guest blogger for @ErinBlaskie, and of the 3 sites she was looking at I drew Placepop. It's basically a mish-mash of FourSquare and Twitter, and so far as I can tell, it doesn't do either of them very well. I signed up only to find the damned thing has a city in Ghana as the default hometown of everyone who signs up. It took me a whole 5 minutes to realise this though, and a further 2 to change it. I ...

    Most of us are already thinking ahead to the summer and you might be thinking about getting that body in shape for bathing suit season (whether you're a man or a woman)!

    by Erin
    Posted March 12th, 2010 at 8:24 am
    The hosts at Macgasm brought me back to participate in another video podcast and here's what we did this time! From their site: In this episode we chat about Aperture 3, 1Password, and Apple Care. We also compare Run and Canabalt, and by compare I mean we raise our voices a couple octaves and argue which is better. The outtakes are pretty funny so make sure you stick around for them. Please subscribe to our videocast in iTunes. Make sure to check out Macgasm.net and follow them on ...

  • Review – @Adobe Photoshop.com App
    by Chris
    Posted February 23rd, 2010 at 9:31 pm
    I'm hoping that everyone is as excited to read this, as I was to use this app. I'd like to dedicate this app review to everyone of us nerds who can't go a day without using Photoshop! This app review is of the Photoshop.com application available on both the iPhone and iPod touch. Now, before we get started, I should note that this app has a partner in crime. It's not the full fledged Photoshop CS4 that comes in handy daily. In my opinion, this app is more for those editing quick pictures. To vie...

    Posted February 19th, 2010 at 9:29 am
    Gowalla is an excellent social app that allows you to check in to locations all around the world. In each location, you also have the opportunity to drop and pick up items to possibly become a founder of that location. It connects up to popular social media networks also to share your location with others. If you'd like to friend me (Erin Blaskie) on Gowalla, check out my profile here.
