Welcome!
If you’ve visited my site before, you may recognize a major overhaul. While I like to think that my site was clean and simple and easy enough to navigate before, I know that it was also a little lacking in the style department. I hope this new look adds some style and improves your ability to browse my apps.
But I also have some other reasons for this overhaul: I want a site that can let me post more than just 140 characters. You’ll notice my Tweets show up in here too, but occasionally I’d like to share a product review, or an interesting code snippet, the result of a weekend’s (or more) work. I want to post pictures, code, videos. I want an RSS feed, so those who are interested can follow along.
My day job is Product & Technical Manager of Mobile Products at Phone.com (a mouthful, right?). I’m lucky enough to be pursuing the dream I’ve had since before the mobile web existed (see my first mobile apps: Quad83 and ZCasino). So as part of my job, I get to play with lots of new toys all the time, and dream up new uses for them. I always love to talk about it too, so if you want to talk, don’t be shy!
Antennagate
Certainly you’ve heard of “Antennagate” by now. It’s all the hype surrounding the fatal flaw in the iPhone 4′s genius new antenna design that causes it to lose quite a bit of signal strength when you hold the phone. I haven’t tried it myself, but I have tried holding a couple of my other phones in a way that would consistently make them lose signal strength.
Interesting fact #1: No matter what I do, I cannot get the iPhone 3GS to lose signal strenth. Even if I completely surround the phone with both of my hands.
Interesting fact #2: I can cause my HTC EVO 4G to lose signal strength consistently, by holding it in a way that I would never actually hold it. Holding it in this position also disables the camera. Good thing there’s a backup camera up front
