iPad Screen Size in Safari
I was very surprised when I Googled the screen size for the iPad nothing showed up. I actually had to create a DIV and experiment until I found the correct size. The viewable area in landscape mode is 980×660. You can also adjust the viewport via: <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width” /> which is what is recommended [...]
Books are not what they use to be.
I’ve struggled to put together a book idea into a coherent logical sequence. Something like: here’s the overall pattern/theme part 1 of pattern part 2 of pattern part 1 connects to part 2 like this but not like that summary of the pattern But I’ve noticed as I am reading (very popular books) that the [...]
Our Trip To London (In December)
We did not think that London would be so dark, but given it’s latitude I should have expected only around 8 hours of daylight per day. This made getting over the jet-lag very tough for us, especially Lilu. She was up most of the nights until 3, until the last night she went to bed [...]
Delta Duty Free at 2AM
We traveled to London from Columbus for an overnight flight. All was fine until around 2AM EST when the Duty Free cart came by. Aside from the loud cart, the noise of yelling “duty free”, it was the hovering around our seats for 20-30 minutes that was really annoying… I was the first to awake, [...]

Why Facebook Places is a bad thing?
Facebook places is another geo-location service, now provided by Facebook. Now combine these two things: 1) Most crime is committed by people you know. 2) Now your friends know when you’re not at home and where you are. I don’t think I will ever understand why people want to broadcast their location to the world. Maybe I’m [...]

Starting a business is not about home runs!
I was talking to my wife the other day and I realized without thinking about it, that starting a business is a lot like learning how to hit a baseball. I remember back when my father was teaching me how to hit, I wanted to really really impress him and every time I tried to [...]
Business Books and Personality Type
A few weeks ago I revisited the Myers Briggs personality test. Why? I am not sure, but this was something I remember taking a long time ago to find out why I think a certain way, and how I interact with others. I took three test, on one I came out as an INTP and [...]
The Introverted Entrepreneur
I don’t consider myself a hermit, I like being around people, just not all the time. But I especially like to go into my cave (basement/garage/home office) and work on a project and don’t like to be disturbed until I am either done with my project or I’ve achieved a significant milestone. Entrepreneurship is about [...]
