Unless you’ve been living under a rock you all know that the official biography of Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson was released on Monday. I am quite a few chapters in, and it’s really good. While I…

jschnell:
I’m pretty big on not link baiting, or so I thought. As it turns out, some of the Macgasm readers, and one in particular, seem to think just a little bit differently. According to a message on Twitter (the sender shall remain anonymous), paraphrased of course, Macgasm is pretty much turning into…

I love this.
Changing my tumblr.
I have so many outlets for my geeky musings that my tumblr was being ignored. I’ve decided to embrace my artistic side and feature geeky art, including my own on here. If you were following and you’re not into this, that’s OK, unfollow, I’ll still love you. Hope you enjoy the new and improved tumblr!

Where everyone knows your name.
There’s something nice about going some place, not waiting and just having the first available person help you. I have those times where I know what I need, they can give it to me and it doesn’t matter their level of knowledge or if they are personable or not. Quick and dirty, get it done.
For other things in my life, especially where there is trust or satisfaction involved I build...

Should you buy a Verizon iPhone? →
While many AT&T users rejoice today at the news that they no longer have to be chained to a single network, there are considerations that must be made. Before you make that leap to Verizon please…
Usability
In my work I get to configure email on quite a few different smart phones. I think being an Apple girl has spoiled me some. With the simplest of direction (touch, swipe and pinch) I was able to pick up my first generation iPhone and navigate and figure out everything I needed. In the past 4 years smart phones for my clients have been on the rise. Half of them have iPhones which is easy- plug in,...

In Real Life (IRL)
I have more friends now than I have ever had in my entire life. The odd thing is, some of them I’ve never actually seen in real life or even talked to on the phone. Trying to explain this to a “normal” non Twitter person just makes you sound insane. I adore my twitter friends. I “talk” to some of them more often than I talk to family (husband excluded as he is on...

the iPhone doesn't make you a photographer...
I recently read a post on the forkbombr.com that had an excerpt from a tabloid tech blog I shall not name, about how a couple fancy filters on the iPhone don’t make you a photographer. I don’t know if there are masses of people running out and getting business cards stating they are a professional photographer because they have the Hipstamatic app. Nor are they taking on jobs to...

I would love to be able to buy every iPad case that looks interesting, unfortunately they are a bit more expensive so it would be hard to justify. Luckily I have access to quite a few Twitter friends…
iPhone 4 Case Mini Reviews from The People →
As much as I would like to try every case available for my new iPhone it starts to add up after awhile. Not to mention that it gets a bit disappointing. One of the worst things about a new iPhone…
Can we stop with the "Get Targeted Twitter...
I am positive I will have someone say “Why do you care who follows you?”. I will tell you why, I love twitter. I love my twitter friends. I love my twitter community. As it stands now it’s really hard to follow back people as I don’t know who’s “real” vs “who’s just trying to get tons of followers”. I’m fairly positive these people...

#FightTheHype iPhone 4 is not as bad as they make...
I’m over this media BS. For the amount of people that the iPhone 4 antenna thing is actually an issue vs the many that are not is ridiculous. I keep throwing it out there “Is the iPhone 4 antenna issue a deal breaker for you”, I’ve only gotten one person to tell me that it was. I am positive that most of the people bitching about the antenna issue don’t even own an iPhone 4. I’m not going to say...

Stop holding on to old shit. Yep, I cussed.
So since this is my tumblr and not my official work blog I’m gonna let you have it. Do you know why computers and electronics “don’t last like they used to”? It’s because they shouldn’t. Technology moves fast. If you’ve had a computer for 3 years it’s nearly an antique. The ONLY exception to this rule, and truthfully it only gives you like an extra...
Why I won't be buying a 3rd party iPhone 4 case on...
This iPhone 4 launch is not my first iPhone I will have on launch day. In fact it will be my fourth iPhone purchased on launch day. With this work related obsession I have learned a few things along the way.
Apple is secretive, well big duh there, right? This means they are not shipping prototypes off to your favorite iPhone case manufacturers so they can start producing for launch. So...
iPhone users on AT&T Family accounts.
Last year I was shocked to find out that I was NOT eligible for the $299 price of the iPhone 3GS. How can that be? My husband and I bought the iPhone 3G on the official release day at the same time. AT&T must be confused. Turns out it was due to me being the secondary person on our Family Plan. Apparently there’s a certain percentage of your monthly plan amount that goes into paying off...

So you think it's ugly?
At this point the entire world has seen what the next gen iPhone looks like. It appears to be going back to it’s flat back roots but this time it has edges. Apparently these edges are enough to really upset some people. “I don’t care what is inside it’s ugly and I won’t be upgrading” Really?? Put a better camera in there and throw in some speed an I don’t...
