    I’ve been looking for an Apple-style wallpaper for my iPhone 4S for a while. I couldn’t find anything that both matched the existing UI and was subtle enough to look like it belonged there, so I made my own. Using the standard Apple pattern and a few round-cornered rectangles, I think it turned out good…

    This past Sunday, Paul and I took part in Automattic’s second annual wwwp5k. We walked all around the east side of Providence for a total of 4.7 miles. Paul met a bunch of new puppy friends, the weather cooperated, and we had a lot of fun!

    If you say “Call me %” where % is your name, Siri will say your name instead of just showing it on screen. This works for any phrase and does not need to be in your address book. Siri currently calls me “Captain Awesome.” Other fun phrases I found: I’m sleepy. I love you Siri.…

    This afternoon Paul the puppy and I laced up our retro Nike Shox and took part in the World Wide WordPress 5k. Our goal for today was neither speed nor endurance, but rather to get our butts off the couch on a Sunday afternoon and explore the neighborhood. These are the results, tracked with RunKeeper…

    I ordered two of the Twelve South BackPack’s so that I could hide my Mac Mini and the two 1TB drives I have hooked to it. While I was getting everything situated, I zip tied some cables together and took some shots of the rest of the work bench. As you can see, my battery…

    A few months back I jumped on the iPod-Nano-as-a-watch bandwagon, and have been waiting for a suitable watch band ever since. I tried a few and none of them really felt solid enough for daily wear. I even made my own out of a $6 X-Men wristband from Hot Topic, which lasted an hour until…
