September 30, 2007 I had decided, a while back, not to buy an iPhone. The move of Apple to use software update to break hacked and unlocked phones is somewhat ironic, given the attitude of Jobs toward DRM , and the open source basis for OS X. So what am I going to replace my current phone with? No, but they are getting stupid.

Experiments, snafus and stumbles December 17, 2007 I seem to have lost my head. You know why I started to twitter.

When I first started myspace.com/nonprofitorganizations almost 4 years ago I had no idea that it would evolve to become as large as it has, or that the brand/community/concept would spread to Facebook , then YouTube , and now Twitter. I was able then to tap into that community when I expanded into Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

July 9, 2007 So I talk a lot about both open source software, and the preciousness of one’s own data. I used to have this great system where I used the Mac Addressbook, which would nicely sync with my cell phone. It sometimes tastes yucky. I rail against vendors who promote lock-in. I tout the benefits of open source software.

The eePC is a great example, as are cell phones, media players, etc. And, of course, there are some other situations where Linux also shines: kiosks, internet cafes, computer labs and email/web workstations. I’m intrigued with your thoughts on Linux shining in dedicated devices like cell phones. 3 Seth Schneider 06.24.08

I would also argue that a petition to the phone carriers to increase the $10 limit on text-to-give in the United States would have much greater impact on the nonprofit sector. Yes, I get that. However, very few would argue that designing for the entire mobile web has much more reach and bang for the bucks invested.
