A blog on Life, Love & The Pursuit of Techyness
This past Thursday evening, I was giving a presentation on how technology/the web has advanced since the “PC era” and how we got to this age of Twitter, Facebook, Cloud Computing and awesome mobile applications.
During this presentation, a member of the group asked me to explain what a mashup was (because it was on my [...]
I must have some sense of twisted sense of congratulatory celebration, as my moving date happens to fall on the same day as my 24th birthday.
Hopefully this move won’t include similar stories from my last move — movers who asked me if I wanted to “party” later or go hit up the bar across the [...]
Don’t lie and tell me you haven’t typed it into Google.
I know I have (does that make me lame?) Anyway, regardless of my additions to Google search trends, I’ve come up with a short list of places that I search in order to find stuff to do on the weekend.*
Source #1: Twitter
First, you can [...]
Some believe that technology is better left at home while one is attending formal events.
But what about gadgets that define elegance?
While at a black tie event in Baltimore over the weekend (and trying to stuff gadgets into my small clutch) I realized that having elegant gadgets are part of the overall “look” at one of [...]
Last weekend, I found myself in the city for a few days. And while I was there, I realized that when you combine NYC, Hot Guidos and a few (hot) chicks on twitter, your total # of followers can increase substantially (and you’re going to have a lot of fun).
And the best part about all [...]
Posing with the Mascot for the 2010 Expo in Shanghai
Everyone (I’m being serious) loves Haibao, the mascot of the 2010 World Expo ( 2010上海世界博览会).
Sure, you may think he looks very much like a character made out of toothpaste (the hair flip, mainly) but he’s everywhere in Shanghai.
Today’s “Expo” is the modern version of the World’s [...]
Ni Hao (hello in Chinese) from China. I’m here, alive and enjoying bringing the techyness to Shanghai, China.
Top Techy Observations:
-For some reason, it’s okay to text while riding a bike. People don’t seem to have an issue with this, but I do.
- The fake iPods do not run the same OS as the real [...]
Tomorrow morning will mark an international move: Techyness is heading to Shanhai, China for work!
I can’t wait to share the photos (I’m taking the Canon xsi dSLR) new gadgets (it’s going to be ridiculous) and the pearls (oh yeah) that I will find and purchase during my time in China.
So, readers of the Techyness, I [...]
For as far as I can remember, my friends have given me a hard time for talking to strangers.
“There’s nothing wrong with making friends,” I would say.
Some things never change.

First off, my apologies for the delay in posting to the Techyness. Instead of researching fun techy things for you readers, I was laying on a beach.
And of course, I got sunburned. Which made me think of what types of gadgets I wish I had with me since I couldn’t spend any additional time at [...]
