Adobe launched a new ad campaign today along with a response to Steve Jobs’ declaration that Flash will never be supported on iPhones, iPads, and iPods last week.  (In fact, they’ve added a whole new Freedom of Choice section on Adobe.com.)  There are a few amusing (and somewhat contradictory) statements in Adobe’s open letter (like this one: “If […]

matt mullenweg’s keynote speech from WordCampSF 2010 p.s. i’m a shameless matt mullenweg fanboy

watched mike moore’s capitalism: a love story last night.  this speech from FDR stuck with me.  in fact, i cried as i was watching it.  what if FDR had been able to enact these propositions?  would sarah palin exist?  would g-dub?  would we be billions of dollars in debt and our entire economy and social structure […]

don’t get me wrong: facebook is — despite everything…or, at least, despite most things — an incredibly useful app and is — right this very second — changing the web.  where, once upon a time, we found links that were designed to be useful to us based on a highly complex algorithm, facebook wants to show us […]

i’ll spare the discussion of how Flash is dead because Steve Jobs says it is. while i agree with him on all of his points, i’m not really into the all bow to the great and mighty Steve camp, even while the rest of the industry bows to the great and mighty Steve.  (i may […]

i was listening to the replay of the teleconference hosted by WPSecurityLock (with special guests from GoDaddy) in light of the recent wave of website hacks that affected hundreds of sites not once, but twice.  it was actually when they were talking to a customer (one who had been hit twice) that a concern was […]

We’ve been wanting to talk about art more.  As artists, we’re always interested in new and innovative things that other artists are doing.  Occasionally that applies to websites, but occasionally that applies to, you know, real art — tangible art you can look at and (possibly) touch and smell and experience.  I’m hoping that this […]

it’s finally happened. months after Oracle’s acquisition of  Sun Microsystems — developers of the free Java platform, among other things — the formerly free alternative to Microsoft’s Office suite is now the cheap alternative to Microsoft’s Office suite. anyone who knew about the acquisition wouldn’t be too surprised by this, however it’s still sad to see.   OpenOffice was […]

Once upon a time, a long time ago, you could buy a new computer and not have to worry about what type of virus scan software you needed to load onto it.  Firewalls were things only extreme geeks and intrepid hackers knew anything about.  Adware, spyware and malware weren’t even words.  Those days are so […]

Recently, there was a malicious attack on GoDaddy-hosted sites. It’s tough to track down the exact date of the original attack — I was first able to find a mention of it on Slashdot from 4/26, and I found a topic in the WordPress support forums that supported that approximate time. However, I also found […]
