Since I have not been able to get anyone at the Internet Archive to give me anything more than a, “yeah, we got your email” regarding their SFLan “project”, I noticed today that someone posted a question about the San Francisco Meraki WiFi project. Right now, they will give one of their repeaters to you […]

Most of the geeks have seen the YouTube video of the kid that unlocked his iPhone. He, however, did not give out the nitty gritty details on how to unlock your Apple iPhone…all of that has changed now. Apparently Collin Mulliner unlocked a phone today and it works on T-Mobile now. I don’t own an […]

Ok, I singed up for a mobile web / WAP affiliate network today called AdMob. It was painless as are most affiliate signups, but here is what is not painless. AdMob has a checkbox to email you when a new advertiser has been approved to run ads on your mobile site. I thought it […]

I guess they have already. I was just reading VentureBeat’s write-up on GreyStripe. GreyStripe is an SF based company that wraps ads around downloadable mobile phone games. Oh, you don’t have any? Well, neither do I, but GreyStripe is reporting that they have served 14 million games that are using their technology IN THE PAST […]

Ok, sorry for the crazy title. I have had a whole slew of people ask me how to get their Cingular 8125 connected to their laptop via a Bluetooth Dial-Up connection, so here is how you do it.
First you are going to need to make sure that you have connected your computer and […]

In an effort to try and keep this blog focused on the world of online marketing, SEO/SEM, blogging etc. I have decided to post my geekery items, like my new Parrot 3400 LS-GPS Bluetooth car kit review to my new tech blog at tech.golod.com. Pretty exciting huh? Yeah, I know I am a psycho.

Yipppeeee. I found a bad ass, free, Mobile IM client for AOL IM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Jabber (if you use Jabber type clients or Google Talk) for my Cingular 8125. The program is called Agile Messenger and you can check out the BETA via this forum post. NOTE: This is beta […]

Thanks to all of the friends and family who made turning 35 so much fun. Well, the stuff we did was fun, turning 35 really wasn’t all that fun. The thing that really sucks is the fact that I am so damn tired right now. Pictures posted soon of the festivities and […]

How cool is the Harmony 880 universal remote control by Logitech? For the money, I don’t think you can touch it with a stick. Let’s face it, all of us geeks have too much A/V equipment in our homes and the wife wants to crack us over the head with all of the […]

Hey Google. How about making the cool Google Maps for Mobile work with the super duper pimp Cingular 8125, running Windows Mobile 5.0. I tried to install the Java app, but it just locked up. Then I updated the 8125 to the new ROM and still no love. I am sure it will […]

UPDATE 12-21-06: HTC was nice enough to redesign their website. But, true to form, the artsy web designers have no clue when it comes to usability. They are not redirecting any of the old URLs to the new ones. I have updated the link below to the download page accordingly. Happy Holidays!
Just got […]

I have to say, this whole Cingular 8125 battery deal is starting to piss me off a bit. For the second time, my 8125 will not charge. It is really nice to have a phone that not only smokes a battery, as far as “talk time” goes, but also ends up killing the battery […]

Ok, so yesterday my new little USB GPS receiver shows up and of course I go into full geek mode. I pulled out the IBM X20 (the best thin-client laptop platform ever made IMHO) and plugged it in. I fired up MS AutoRoute 2006 and once I configured the GPS receiver with the software […]

Happy New Year everyone. Hope you all had a safe and fun New Year’s celebration. I am in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico right now and am writing this post via the wireless connection (via bluetooth) on my Nokia 6620 (Cingular Wireless). I have the unlimited data plan from Cingular, which has been a bit […]

Looks like San Francisco is one step closer to having a free citywide wifi internet system. The SF Chronicle reports today that the city will be issuing a RFP (request for proposals) from vendors and system engineers to build, what would be the second, big-city wifi internet access system. Philadelphia has been building their […]

Tivo fanatics of the world have been scheduling television shows remotely to their Tivos for over two years. Actually, even more if you were into paying them for the Home Media option (that is now free). I signed up and had it working in a few minutes a couple of years ago. I did […]

Just read an interesting article over at Investor’s Business Daily about Cingular playing the catch-up game with rivals Verizon and Sprint Wireless. Verizon and Sprint have launched their own 3G networks in most major cities and based it on EV-DO technology. This translates into average speeds of between 400-700kbps. Cingular, however, has been […]

Sprint has released the first smartphone to use the latest version of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. The Sprint PPC-6700 is a compact handset built by UTStarcom who also makes a WiFi handset for people using Vonage and other VOIP services. This is the first device to use the latest verison, 5.0, of […]

DECT (digital enhanced cordless telecommunications) devices have been approved for use in the 1920 to 1930 MHz band here in the United States. Great, what the heck is DECT? Well, basically, DECT devices like a wireless phone allow users to travel pretty far (300 meters or so outdoors) from their base. These phones are said […]

I am trying to find someone who can tell me about their EV-DO coverage experiences in San Francisco and more specifically in Pacific Heights. I am tired of waiting for Cingular Wireless to get off their asses and roll out some serious 3G technology here and I saw the soon-to-be-released Kyocera KR1 EV-DO Router today […]
