The Problem With Blogging and Blog Networks

If you haven’t figured out by now, I like writing. However, if you asked me when I started blogging if I thought I could write 20-30 posts a week, while still having a full-time job, I’d think you were smoking something. Clearly I’ve figured out how to do it. Some days, it’s easier than […]

PhoneBoy’s Week That Was 6 January 2008

Finally getting out of the holidays and back into the regular swing of things. However, we’ve got two major events coming up in the next two weeks: CES and MacWorld. Not going to either, though I am supposed to be visiting Ottawa in the very near future.
Here’s what I managed to write this past week:

Multigame […]

Camera Phones Killing Digital Cameras?

I think Don Reisigner might be overreacting a tad on the fact that the Carphone Warehouse CEO says that camera phones are causing the low-end of the digital camera market to shrink. Reisigner seems to extrapolate this statement to mean the death of dedicated digital cameras on the whole.
As much as I personally use my […]

8 Things You May Not Know About PhoneBoy

This meme seems to go around every so often. This time I was tagged by The Gabby Geek. You can read my last attempt at this. Here’s another 8 things you may not know about me.
1. In my professional life, I have spent more time working from my home than I’ve spent working in an […]

97 Posts In A Week?

I have to share this bit from Luca’s Funny Predictions For 2008:
Phoneboy will blog and blog and blog and blog: the last week of December 2008, Phoneboy’s Week post will contain 97 articles
I can’t decide whether to make that a personal challenge or check myself into a 12-step program today?

New Year, Possible New Blogging Direction?

I sat down over the course of the past week or so to try and articulate what I’m thinking I’d like to do about my blogging in 2008. It seems to have taken on a life of it’s own this year thanks to becoming a blogger for Creative Weblogging and getting a bit more involved […]

PhoneBoy’s Week That Was 16 December 2007

Well, so much for this list being shorter. That happens when you see topical gadgets and good cross-promotion opportunities.
Aside from The Mobile Technology Weblog being new to my weekly roundup, there’s also one new blog on the list this week I hadn’t talked about previously: Businesspundit. Creative Weblogging asked me to do a few posts […]

PhoneBoy Makes The Local Paper

Ok, this doesn’t put me in the big leagues, yet, but you have to start somewhere.
A local reporter at the Peninsula Gateway, the local Gig Harbor newspaper, was doing a story on bloggers in Gig Harbor. She managed to find my Vox blog through a series of Google searches and wanted to interview me for […]

Blog Changes For PhoneBoy

My relationship with Creative Weblogging has changed a bit. The long and the short of it that I will be doing a little less blogging and a bit more promoting of a few of their blogs.
I will continue to blog on VoIP Weblog as I have been. I will still blog on Gadgets Weblog, but […]

PhoneBoy’s Week That Was 25 November 2007

I think I’m over the uncomfortable bits of my strep throat. There are stragglers, of course, but I think I’m back in action. It’s a good thing I blog ahead since I was pretty thin with posts this past week. Looks like I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
So without further […]

Got Da Strep

That’s not me, but that’s about how I feel right now.
Tuesday, I went in to the local Urgent Care facility to be told what I already knew: you got strep! It’s something I used to get yearly or maybe every other year until I was in my mid 20s. The symptoms were all too familiar […]

Win an iPod Touch By Making A 5 Minute Phone Call

Use the Free Conference Call application on Facebook between now and 26 November 2007, and you’ll be entered into a draw where you can win an Apple iPod Touch 8gb! You have to participate in a call for at least five minutes before you are entered, but it’s a small price to pay for a […]

An Energy Saving Tip From Nokia

On my Nokia N800 tablet with OS2008 loaded.

Blogging Anywhere

Our family is atypical. Or maybe it’s typical, but I don’t get out much, so I don’t know. But in my house, everyone has their own computer. Even my three year old has her own. Each child must login to their own computer. My daughter has an adult do it, but she’ll eventually learn. […]

PhoneBoy’s Week That Was 4 November 2007

This old intermission from a Drive In movie theater pretty much sums up my opinion on Daylight Saving Time (yes, it’s that time again in the US).
