Remote PC support has come a long way. It used to be a long phone call and people would explain what they were seeing. Then we added remote desktop sharing tools like VNC. Now many sites and applications have these features. I have discussed remote desktop sharing / support apps before – http://jimiz.net/2008/07/open-source-applications/ Since then I have tried many versions. Go2MyPC, …
My wife sent me this link in an email today. http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/ottawa_county/vehicle-hits-bicycle-in-robinson-township It is tragic to see someone get hit on a bicycle. Since I have been riding into work I think about this often. I have had a few close calls, but I have not been hit. A co-worker was struck last year. He suffered a broken leg and a lot …
I’ve been involved in some mobile application development and have had the need to test a site and application with many mobile devices. During this process I have found two good iOS emulators. http://www.electricplum.com/dlsim.html and http://code.google.com/p/ibbdemo2/ I just recently learned that the ibbdemo2 was replaced by the electric plum version above. I found these to be great emulators and tools …

I decided to upgrade iTunes and also my iOS version to 5. The install of iTunes version 10.5 took about 20 min to download and install. The install of iOS 5 is taking a bit of time to install – 8 hours. Eight hours, that is one heck of a long time. I did a quick speed test just to …
I’ve been commuting to work on my bike for a bit now. I have about 7 miles to travel each direction on some busy roads. During the commute I listen to music via my Motorola s10 headphones. These allow me to keep my phone in my backpack and adjust anything via the controls on the device. I …
I had a few setbacks on commuting this week. Over the weekend I let someone borrow my bike for a race here in GR. During the race the chain broke. Thankfully we were able to get them another bike in about 15 min. I felt bad that the chain broke, especially since they were in the middle of a race. …
I have started biking into work again. It has been enjoyable and an interesting adventure. This time around I’m using my commuter, a converted mountain bike (Schwinn S9five6 – Purchased in 1995). This is one of my favorite bikes, I’ve had a great amount of fun over the years with this bike. In the last 5 years it …
