The weight of technology

15, Apr 2007

I recently came across this incredible video on one of my favorite blogs, “Shlog” written by Nashville musician Shaun Groves, and I got involved in a mini debate in his comments section.
I have experienced this shift firsthand: Online, I found Adam, we found and later sold our cars, we found our house, our travel companions, [...]

Voice123

27, Mar 2007

I haven’t really talked about my emerging career in voiceover here on the blog, but I’ve been doing it off and on for a while. I really enjoy doing it and it’s beginning to pick up.
I just signed up to be a voice actor in Voice123.com’s pool of talent. What they’re doing is really pretty [...]

Meow. JungleDisk is hot.

31, Jan 2007

Two days ago we had a hard drive catastrophe. I fired up iTunes and pressed play on the Party Shuffle. iTunes started hiccuping out the track and then up came the dreaded spinning beach ball, telling me wait since it was thinking really hard about something. This was not normal.
I waited for a bit and [...]

On Processor Speed

23, Jan 2007

Here’s a recent posting I made to a discussion in the Society and Technology class I’m taking right now at DePaul. Nothing highly novel here, just my thoughts on the future importance (and unimportance) of processing speeds.
Partly I’m posting this since I’ve been so dry lately on the blog front and figured it was time [...]

Over the river and through the hood…

We were having trouble getting our video-embedded posts to show up here on the new site (since the re-design also involved moving to a self-hosted WordPress site. The old version which was a patchwork of Rapidweaver and a self-hosted Blogger site, and a Flickr iframe page, if you happen to care.), but I found a [...]

RSS Feed Has Changed

2, Jan 2007

Our major renovations came along side a move to a new server, and a bit of restructuring. Thus, our old RSS feed is now dead. If you subscribe to our feed, please update your RSS reader of choice by clicking on the big orange button below or using one of the many-flavored subscription buttons to [...]

Share your acorns with the world

18, Nov 2006

I have to be careful what I say on here- we wonder sometimes, but it seems people actually are listening to us. The other day we got the following email message in our inbox:
Hi Adam and Jessica,
I came across your blog for the first time today and have really been enjoying it. I love the [...]

Changin’ Up Tha OS Game

Scrybe
Originally uploaded by Adam & Jessica.
Companies like the soon-to-debut Scrybe stand to put the smackdown on the Microsuck, er, Microsoft camp. Scrybe is a suite of web-based, personal organization software that is not chained to the web like Google Docs & Spreadsheets or 37 Signal’s Backpack. Offline functionality has been one of the weakness factors [...]

LibraryThing rocks.

19, Sep 2006

I can’t believe that I’m just now finding out about this. LibraryThing is a way cool web service/community/social networking thingie for geeky bibliophiles. If you know me, you know that I no doubt qualify. I found it on a site called MoMB that my buddy Daniel turned me on to, that lists the newest and [...]

Coming out of the closet

16, Sep 2006

Some of you know that I am a little bit computer geeky. I haven’t shared any of this sort of musing here publically, so unless you and I happen to have chatted about Web 2.0, RSS feeds, OSX, HTML or what-not, you may not even know I care.
I actually spend quite a bit of my [...]
