Last night before bed while getting very sleepy from some medication I'm taking I wrote this:
if you've ever wondered what's best about the things you are offered, know this:
sometimes I need to unplug. not so much from technology, in general, but from the internet and my expectation of response from it. it is clearly an [...]

A few months ago, the fine people at WOMWorld lent me a Nokia E71 for review. I've been putting off publishing any sort of remarks because my mom always said "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." But, lately, they've been insistent. So, here we go.
First the good.
The phone is beautiful. [...]

In this Tech Tip of the Week (TTOW, get it, almost seems like a feature, doesn't it?), I will present, once again, Intense Debate, a centralized commenting system that has benefits for content authors and readers alike.
Earlier this year I looked at both Disqus and Intense Debate. I weighed each of their merits and drawbacks. [...]

In short, I have a new site you can read: http://revjim.tumblr.com/
There are hundreds of sites begging people to put their cool links into them (delicious.com and the like). But none of them really let you customize the site and make it your own. On top of that, almost every piece of social networking software has [...]

Yes, it's that time again. That time where I bitch about my web presence and how it annoys me.
I want this website to die. I should elaborate "this website" since I have no idea where you're reading this from. I want revjim.net to die.

I think I'm a target for broken things — broken anything. From techology, to things bought in various stores, to that too-emo-for-my-age feeling that even most of my relationships are broken in some way.
I go into a Starbucks with a simple purpose: get some Caffiene before going back to work so I don't fall asleep [...]

Maybe it isn't Vista's fault. Maybe it's just software developers not implementing their products correctly in Vista. But, much the same as Linux or, to some extent, the Mac, software is what makes an OS useful. If the software doesn't work then the OS may as well not work.
I can't seem to get my iPod [...]

It seems that more people hated them than there were people who liked them. So, at least for now, the tweet digests being sent by LoudTwitter (my posts titled "yesterday, in brief") have been suspended. If this pleases you, please feel free to sound your cheers in the comments below. If you would prefer to [...]

So I bought a laptop.
My employer — heretofore known as the Great White Devil (as coined by Joel Watson of HijinksEnsue) or GWD for short — was giving me some after my request for a RAM upgrade to the impossibly small 512kb that I have now due to the new Encrypted status of my laptop [...]
