First run of the Year!

I’m starting this year off on the right foot. I wrapped up this weeks running with almost 20 miles, and I was able to get in a 5K this afternoon. Of course the rain started immediately when I opened the door to go outside to start, but I was not going to let that stop me today. I have a goal this year to really increase my milage. I’m not sure what that means for numbers and distance,...

An Unexpected Encounter . . .

I was out on my run today and I was not planning on heading to downtown Phoenixville. Then at the last minute I changed my mind and headed down the big bridge into town. I rounded the corner and headed toward the Historic Colonial Theater. As I approached the theater I saw a couple of guys talking with each other and as I got closer realized they were both barefoot. The one was showing the other...

2 Weeks Until My First Half-Marathon

This spring has flown by! I cannot believe tomorrow marks only two weeks to go before my first Half-Marathon in Wyomissing, PA. The Half-Saur Half-Kraut will be held on June 13th. I’ve been training for the last couple months and I am feeling pretty good. Last summer I almost had to hang-up running all together. The pain in the arches of my feet was so bad that I could barely run 2-3 miles every...

Apple announced today that they will be releasing the next version of their mobile software this summer - iPhone OS 4.0. The announcement came on the heals of the highly anticipated iPad launch.

AT&T, iPhone & MMS

It’s here, finally, after 3 years we iPhone users finally get to journey back to 2003 and use that ever so simiple service some of you call MMS (picture messaging). I’m incredibly excited and for what reason? The rest of the world has had MMS on the iPhone since June and non-iPhone toting users never missed a beat. Oh well the joys of using AT&T continues.

iPhone Facebook 3.0 App is HERE!!

Finally!! After 11 days with the Apple App approval team the Facebook 3.0 app for the iPhone is here. After just a short couple of hours with the app I have mostly good things to say. I’m glad the links work correctly in this version of the application. When I see that one of my friends has commented on a photo I can click the comment, and actually go to the photo, not my friends page. This...

DDOS Attacks, Purchases and Open Search

The internet has been going crazy the last week with news of DDOS attacks on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. As you might have heard by now Facebook has purchased FriendFeed, Mashable Article (Which in my humble opinion is a HUGE play for Facebook), and last but not least as of last night Facebook has opened up their search to cover the entire Facebook site. Twitter better watch it’s back for...

July WineLibrary Tweet-Up

Last night my good friend Matt and I attended the Second Tweet-Up at Gary Vaynerchuk’s Wine Library in New Jersey. Gary shot a WineLibrary.tv epsiode, had a wine tasting and finally invited us all up to his office. When we got to the office we had the awesome opportunity to talk business and web 2.0. Gary also recorded some great thoughts about a “new” player in the internet. I...

One of the largest barriers to entry when starting your own business is cost. The cost to start a traditional business could be several hundred thousand up to several million dollars especially...

Apple Update

Apple pushed out several updates this morning. The world woke up to tweets and blog posts about the apple store being down… after brewing a pot of coffee and some patient waiting we now have updates to the Mac Mini, Mac Pro, iMac, and a small bump the the 15” MacBook. http://store.apple.com/us I still feel that the price point for entry on the Mac Mini is a little high.
