I will be one of the two co-chairs for the Executive Branch of UNC Student Government's Technology and Web Services (commonly abbreviated Tech and Web) committee. I'll be working with my fellow committee member from this year, Andrew Phillips ( Read more... )

I suck at updating this. Not that this bears repeating. I've been using Twitter somewhat frequently as an announcement/micro-blogging platform; but those two goals are at odds (if I want something announced, I can't micro-blog when I feel like it).

I read this New York times article about the fact that Obama is an enormous Blackberry user but when he becomes President he'll have to give up e-mail since no president is allowed to send e-mail. Isn't that horrible?

This is a blog post about Adobe's horrible Mac installer. This is an excellent example of things that Mac users care about (at ( Read more... )

So here are random news snippets and thoughts I've had over the past few weeks. It's getting quite long! I am majorly neglecting this place.
