Today Rackspace announced the availability of Jungle Disk for the iPhone. I can now finally access all of my files backed up on Amazon S3 while on the go, pretty cool! Unlike the desktop version, however, the iPhone app is only for accessing files already on your S3 account. You can delete files from your [...]

UD Flyers in the NIT Final Four
My Dayton Flyers are heading to New York for the NIT Final Four after beating #1 seed Illinois! This is the first time UD has made it to the semi-finals of the National Invitational Tournament since 1968 when they won it all. They looked great against the Cincinnati Bearcats on Monday night (a victory which [...]
Spring Training 2010: Recap
6:48am (MST): I’m at my gate in the Phoenix Sky Harbor airport waiting for my flight to Houston. My brother just boarded his flight back to Cleveland. We got to the airport a little later than planned thanks to overnight construction on I-10 that required us to take a detour. Then when we got into [...]
Spring Training 2010: Day Three
9:21am: we just finished breakfast at the Black Bear Diner and are now heading over to the Player Development Complex at the Goodyear Ballpark to watch the Indians’ morning practice. 9:49am: we’re watching some of the players warm up, listening to their chatter. Good natured ribbing is also going on which is fun to hear. [...]
Spring Training 2010: Day Two
8:15am: we got up early, refreshed (and adjusted to the 3 hour timezone difference). We’re eating breakfast at the Paradise Cafe and then heading over to Camelback Mountain for some hiking. 9:18am: we’re at the head of the Echo Canyon trail of Camelback Mountain. Parking is ridiculously limited, so we had to drive around to [...]
Spring Training 2010: Day One
It’s finally time for my annual Spring Training trip! Three days of baseball, beer, and brats. My tech arsenal this year consists simply of my EeePC and iPhone. Between the two of those devices I should be able to handle any work-related emergency that might arise and still stay “connected” while traveling. The iPhone apps [...]
WIJFR: The Wizardry Cursed
Once upon a time, Major Mick Gilligan, USAF, didn’t believe in Magic. Nor, had he been told of it, would he have believed in the elf Lisella, or cared that she had cursed master programmer Wiz Zumwalt, later of Cupertino and now of an alternate world where magic works like a computer program. But that [...]
WIJFR: Blue Mars
Using the last 200 years of American history as his template for Martian history, Robinson projects his tale of Mars’s colonization from the 21st century, in which settlers successfully revolt against Earth, into the next century, when various interests on Mars work out their differences on issues ranging from government to the terraforming of the [...]
Ah, spring … baseball is back!
It was a beautiful day today at Brighthouse Field in Clearwater where we saw the Tampa Bay Rays beat the 2009 NL Champion Philadelphia Phillies in 10 innings in front of a sell-out crowd. We had pretty good seats, right down the third base line. We were in full sun the entire game, so it [...]
