So, as you probably know the new OS4 software update for the iPhone comes out on June 21st, but if you’re like me there are lots of cool features that I really didn’t want to wait for! A friend of mine posted a link today on how to upgrade your current iPhone to run OS4 now, so with little hesitation I took the plunge, and I have to say…so worth it! I’m going to tell you how I did it since I had to jump through a few hoops. My issue was that I sync and make backups for my iPhone on my PC although I do have a MacBook Pro. Well, the only way to get the OS4 update was to run it on iTunes on a Mac, so there was my issue, but have no fear, I’m going...

So, I’m on the road again…this time I’ll be traveling to California for WordCamp San Francisco on May 1st. I’m excited about this event, as it’s the “end all be all” of WordCamps, and I’ve never been to this one before. I look forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces and meeting a lot of new ones. Also, the whole 9seeds crew will be in attendance, so that’s pretty cool as we don’t get to see each other all that often. If you haven’t gotten a ticket yet, you really should, as it’s going to be a great time! From San Francisco, I’ll be traveling to Chicago to speak at CMS Expo on WordPress plugins....

So it’s been announced. The iPad is here. It’s supposed to fall into a category between the iPhone and a laptop, which it does perfectly. It basically has all the functionality of an iPhone or iPod touch, but other cool features (and size) that throws it into the laptop category… Information available at this point says the iPad does not have a camera, which for most I think is going to be something that makes it less appealing. I think that the app market will benefit from this though, as new and more powerful apps will become available for the iPad that are not now available for the iPhone or Ipod touch. It can be held in any direction you want. It looks...

So, this past weekend I attended and spoke at WordCamp Boston, and 9seeds also sponsored the event. First, let me say what a great event it was. It was held at the Microsoft New England Research and Development (NERD) Center and wow…what a place! They did not hold back when designing and building this place…it was as amazing as you can imagine! Just a gigantic piece of technology disguised as a building on the river. So for WordCamp…everything from registration, to presentations to lunch…everything was covered to the T by the organizers (Amanda Blum, John Eckman, Kurt Eng, Jake Goldman and others I’m forgetting). I received a text message 15 minutes...

So here it is…new site, new blog. I thought for a while about importing all my posts over to this new site, but I just decided to start it fresh 100%! So, with that I’ll do a short wrap-up of what happened this past year and we’ll go from there. January 2009, I go to Las Vegas for WordCamp and speak on WP Ecommerce. There I meet John Hawkins and Todd Huish. June 2009, I go to Raleigh, North Carolina for WordCamp and you guessed it…speak on WP Ecommerce. I left from Raleigh and headed to NYC for a family vacation. The rest of the summer was fairly uneventful..just normal stuff. September 2009, I go to Los Angeles for WordCamp and again, speak on WP ECommerce....
