My Feelings About Ubuntu for Tablets

  Canonical released more information on Ubuntu powered tablets following the "tablet time" countdown yesterday. I was really excited to see that HTC had almost the exact same countdown clock as Ubuntu did. My thoughts were that maybe they had a full fledged Ubuntu tablet coming down the line already, but sadly the did not. Ubuntu did release Ubuntu FOR tablets though. That for in the midst of the title is what gives me conflicting feelings about this new interface...Read More

The Future of this Blog

  Hey guys, I just wanted to give everybody a little bit of information about the future of this blog. As you have probably noticed, my last few posts have only been via Wire Munch or SFI. This is for good reason. I have slowly been weening myself away from posting to much direct content to this blog. Why is this? Well, because I am taking this blog in a new direction in order to pursue different things in my life.
 
   I have decided that I would like to focus a lot more time into Wire Munch and my designing. Don't get me wrong, I love blogging still, and will be doing that with the majority of my time, just not to this blog directly. I am a graphic designer first and foremost, but also a blogger. I design and write at Wire Munch, and a little bit at SFI two days a week. this blog will not be going anywhere, just the experience will change.

  What do I mean by "change"? What I mean is that the title, purpose, and audience will change. I am turning this site into more of a tech information hub. When I post, I will be sharing that post here, but just a preview like you have seen in my last posts. The title will be changed soon, but that is the main purpose. So don't leave, just get ready for some changes. The YouTube channel will not fall, though. I will be posting more on that come March. Stay tuned!

Android 4.2.2 Initial Impressions

  Yesterday (February 13, 2013) Google began rolling out an Android 4.2.2 to all of the Nexus devices. This update was performed generally OTA (Over The Air), so it reached different places at different times. My initial impression of this process was that it took a while to reach me on my Nexus 7. So long actually, that it was 12:15 EST of today before I got it. I was getting relatively irritated and  anxious for my turn to have a go at the newest version of Android... Read More

Rumor: Is the Apple Smartwatch on its Way?

Nike's Relationship With Google

Nike recently announced that they will not be bringing native support for their Nike+ products to the Android platform. Why is this? It could be due to the already ready to go system support for Apple, or maybe it's due to the fact that Tim Cook is on Nike's board of directors! **conspiracy alert**.... Read More
