Switching from Time Warner to Verizon FiOS
I’ve decided to switch from Time Warner to Verizon FiOS. In doing so, I’ve done what most people would consider exhaustive research, and decided I should share my findings. Unlike many other users, I use a TiVo Series 3 HD DVR, which requires two S-Card CableCARDs (or one multi-stream M-Card). From my chat with Verizon,…

Propellerhead Reason 6 – Pay What You Want Upgrade
For those of us who have Reason 5 + Record 1.5, we have the opportunity to upgrade to Reason 6 for any price (over $1). Some Record users feel they were used as Beta testers of the recording functionality of Reason 6, and they see this as the least Propellerhead Software could do to thank…

Netflix Renames Its Online DVD Rental Qwikster
Netflix can’t win. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a fan of theirs for a long time. I used to get new DVDs in the mail several times a week, and I was thrilled when they added streaming. They were on the right path: become the best source for movies, documentaries, TV series, and pretty…

WECK 1230AM on iPhone
I recently wanted to listen to my cousin Nick’s WECK show on my iPhone. For those of you looking to stream WECK on iPhone or Android, get the TuneIn Radio app. It’s that simple. The app is only 99¢ as of this posting, and includes over 50,000 radio stations worldwide. Not bad!

The Hip-Hop Talk Show
Although I may listen to a wide variety of music, hip-hop is always on heavy rotation. Back in the early ’80s, my brother and I made “pause tapes” before we knew there was a name for them—I’m pretty sure we thought we invented the technique. I never stopped finding ways to manipulate songs, I produced…

Starbucks New Logo
For whatever reason, Starbucks decided it was time to change their look. I think it looks a little too corporate. Part of the charm of the older logo was its lack of minimalism. I think it seems almost amateur to pile element upon element—mermaid symbol, green ring, white text, outline ring—but that’s what helps make…

Buffalo Bills Rap – New for 2010
My cousin, Nick Mendola, is something of an AM talk-radio superstar. He recently left WGR 550 in favor of WECK 1230, and in the wake lost the instrumental of his Buffalo Bills Rap. Not one to let a family member be left high and dry without a beat, I fired up Propellerhead Reason and made…

RFID for Fun, Profit and Eavesdropping
Imagine this world, sometime in the not-so-distant future: All consumer goods will be embedded with RFID chips. You’ll be able to catalog all your worldly possessions, and find them whether they’re in your house or on loan to a friend. If your child goes missing, you’ll know their outfit(s) based on what’s missing from the…

Gotham is Everywhere
I’m not sure if this is just one of those things that you only notice after you’ve bought one (like when you buy a new car, all you see on the road are other cars just like yours), but I keep seeing Gotham everywhere I look. I started using it about a year ago for…

Twelve Hours in a City
I’ve been working on some branding for a couple of guys who are traveling around the United States for 31 days, spending 12 hours in each city. Sean Gregory of Time.com thinks they’re crazy, but the local media here in Buffalo, NY seems pretty optimistic about the plan.
I doubt the button below even works.
