The Apple iPad

Apple Hardware Tech

This is not going to be a post on how great the iPad will be. That I’ll reserve until I hold one in my hot little hands. No, it seems that the entire tech press has gone out of their way to proclaim the iPad a resounding failure or at least a wrong headed idea.

MLIGN Sense ROM

Hey, just a quick post from my G1. I am going to see if I can do most of my online stuff from Android this weekend. If I can, it will solidify my decision to maybe, sort-a-kinda think about getting a Google Nexus One. Maybe. Still in love with the iPhone, there’s just no 3G on it whilst I’m on TMO.

Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule: ROBIN WOOD AND RIO BRAVO

I saw this article and was a little sad. I had no clue that Robin Wood had passed. I had heard of him, but didn’t have much of a chance to read what he had written. I am heartened by the fact that he loved Hitchcock and Howard Hawks with as much fervor as I do. Wood’s favorite film was Rio Bravo, and it’s one of my top ten.

New Look

Blogging Fixes Wordpress

I have downloaded a new theme (Atahualpa) that, hopefully, will give me the opportunity to do a little more customization to the blog. Just didn’t want you all jarred out of your gourds.

You like me, you really like me…

Movies

With apologies to Sally Field, I’m flattered that someone liked my Movie Fans Advice article enough to get it mentioned on the IMDB. Looks like I’ll have to install the SuperCache and start taking the posting thing more seriously. I’d like to thank the folks that actually bothered to comment on my spewing. I read it all, and I am seeing that most of you find what I’m saying useful. I have an idea on the next article and once I research it, well, you know…

You have to understand, I put this up as more of an exercise in learning Wordpress. I only have at any given time, 8 or 9 folks reading this thing. I am overwhelmed at the response at this point. Thanks again.

Posterous Looks Interesting

Blogging

I have started a test blog over at Posterous (http://stevesmyth.posterous.com/) and it looks interesting. I am doing this post from my email account and it should crosspost to control, shift, cheeseburger, which will send a tweet. Here goes nothing.

Hopefully Fixed This

Blogging Wordpress

Yes, I know. Another fixit post. Why do I beat myself up like this?

If I had known that self hosting was going to be such a chore, I would have gone to Wordpress.com and had them do it for me, however, I would have to pay them to customize the blog, and pay my hosting company. This is less expensive.

Anyway, Wordpress 2.9 does impart some convenience features, like dropdown menus for category listings and better widget support. A couple of the plugins I liked like Twitter Tools haven’t make the transition yet, but they will, I’m sure. In any event, enjoy.

You don’t have to register to comment but it helps. Also, if you want to be notified by email of new posts, please use the Subscribe via Feedburner widget located to the right. It will send you one digest email of anything I post at around midnight. You can also follow me on Twitter user name @spsmyth.

Movie Fans – My Advice

Entertainment Movies

I don’t want to sound like the be all end all here, because I’m not. I do however have some guidelines on how to remain a sane, happy movie buff without yelling at the screen or throwing things at it.
