Goodbye Wikimedia Foundation

It is with a heavy heart that I’ve decided to leave the Wikimedia Foundation. There are a number of reasons why I’ve decided to move on, but they really aren’t that important in the grand scheme of things. Like any job, there were times when I was stressed and there were times when I was…

Hands on review of the 4th generation MacBook Air (Mid 2011)

MacBook Airs and I have had a tenuous relationship for many years. I have had an original first generation Air (Early 2008) unit loaned to me for the last several years. Sometimes I’d use the machine a lot and sometimes not at all. My main issue (besides my lack of love for Apple) was that…

My first impression with the unit is…

Woah, I should get Mom a Samsung Fascinate (Phones for the older folks?)

Nexus S CC-BY-SA-3.0 Luca Volpi No, I don’t actually have any plans to get my mother a Samsung phone. For those living under a rock (or don’t have cable), that’s the recent tag line from a Verizon commercial. It’s a rather amusing commercial about a dude deciding that he should get his Mom a smart…
