Since May 2012 I've been using blog.com and finally got frustrated with site availabilty, or lack of it.
I'll move some posts here that I think are still relevant. Some that I still like I'll simply link to this post. Hopefully blog.com cooperates when you actually want to read any of these.
I love gadgets, and played with the Ubuntu Phone OS (before it was fully featured) and I also got two of the early Firefox OS phones.
I also like playing with hardware. I used to get into breadboarding and soldering up circuits. I built a very slow wireless modem using an IR emitter and detector pair, I forget what chips I used for signal processing, was a while ago. Assembled many computers, more recent hacking has been limited to fixing retro game consoles and playing with hardware kits.
And of course pet peeves like Zombie Commuters and a beer review of a Trappist Beer, sometimes called the best beer in the world, by a non-beer guy.

- Ares Pi : I played with a Raspberry Pi kit and used it to compile and run the webOS Ares IDE
- Upgrading the Acer C7 Chromebook
- Tick Tock is a dead simple app that my goal was to package on as many systems as possible. It's in the Chrome Store and the Mozilla Marketplace, before the webOS Catalog was shut down, and also installed and tested on Windows Phone 7 & 8, iOS and Android.
- Open webOS : HP, as badly as they screwed up webOS and the devices, they did try to salvage webOS, even when it was evident they weren't going to get back the Palm investment. They rewrote parts of the OS and released an open source version of webOS.
- Goodbye webOS : I seem to say goodbye a lot for some reason. As much as I enjoyed working with webOS and Enyo, I needed to focus on making a living with Java, JavaScript and of course Angular.
