HotShoe: Can the web use containers for Flash?

// May 20th, 2010 // No Comments » // General, Techie

I just wanted to get this idea put out there, in case someone’s trying to come up with a solution for Flash on non-Flash-enabled browsers. I got to thinking: why can’t Flash objects (or just about any object for that matter) be held outside the web page and displayed within an interactive container? If there’s [...]

Two unrelated items: iPad and Facebook

// May 12th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // General, Ranting

Ever since the iPad was rumored, I wanted the thing. Even before the specs were announced, I had a picture in my head of what the thing would be like: a big iPod Touch … and that’s what we got. I’d already decided that was just fine with me. The price, though, when compared to [...]

Why digital books and not the library?

// April 28th, 2010 // 3 Comments » // General, Ranting, Techie

I’ve already resigned myself to the fact that, sooner than later, I will have myself an iPad. But, while I love the idea of reading books on the thing, my problem is this: I’m a cheap bastard, and I’d rather get my books from the library … y’know, for free.

Support your library or the Amazon Kindle?

// March 4th, 2009 // Comments Off // General, Ranting

I have my moments of being a gadget geek … oh hell, I’m always a gadget geek, though the current economy hits this brand of geek pretty hard. Recently Amazon put out its upgraded Kindle product, Kindle 2, which I’d been eying since it was hinted at a while back. The Kindle 2 is an [...]

The kitchen’s open at CliqueClack Food

// February 12th, 2009 // Comments Off // Food, General

We’ve had CliqueClack TV running since sometime in September of 2008, going “officially” live on October 1. Since then things have been going great, but we wanted to open the doors a little wider for our writers, allowing them yet another space to express themselves. Everybody’s gotta eat, and we’ve got a lot of foodies [...]

And that, grasshopper, is the key to it all
