It’s hard to believe I’ve been working out of a home office (off and on) for almost five years. At times I am incredibly grateful for my situation. I can work in my pajamas (although I rarely do), listen to NPR all day, throw in a load of laundry every couple of hours, and never have to worry I’ll find my boss standing at my door.

The way I’ve always seen it: painfully slow loading times + tiny screens = why bother? But after a week of testing the T-Mobile G1 with Google, I’ve reversed my position. iPhone […]
From Our President: Turn Off the TV
