First Trip to Bali – Prep
Warning… lots of “first-world problem” venting here. So I am fortunate that I get to go to Bali for both Vacation and Work. Work is getting a pretty sweet deal considering I used my AAdvantage Miles to buy my ticket (because I wanted and upgrade, and there is no way work was going to pay […]
Fixing Bluetooth Issues on Mac
So for the last week I’ve had continued degradation of Bluetooth performance on multiple devices. My headphones (Sennheiser PXC 550’s) and my mouse (Logitech MX Master) have been in disconnecting/reconnecting loops… most notably the mouse. I’ve tried charging both; I’ve tried changing the keyboard batteries (random hope since also logitech); I’ve even tried using one […]
3 Weeks on The Road… Madrid, London, Amsterdam, San Diego
I just came back from 3 weeks on the road. I have 2 new hires, in 2 different countries, and starting at different times. Let me tell you about the “joy” of coordinating a trip for all 3 of us to Partner Training, and then some On Boarding back at HQ. Ok, there was very […]
Data Mapping Basics – Intro
This will be “just a bit” looooong and probably geeky, but I will try and make sure that it builds iteratively and has a lot of external links to expand on supportive concepts. I’m writing this as I’ve had to train numerous Employees, Clients, and Partners, throughout my Ad Serving and Tag Management days, and […]
Data Mapping Basics – Part 1 – Javascript Variables
Javascript Variables This won’t be a lesson in Javascript (though I may have one in the works for future series), but I will touch on a couple data types in examples for accessing those. As covered in the Basics of Browser and Connections post, Javascript lives along-side the rest of the data sources that follow. Javascript […]
Change screenshot location on Mac
One thing that drives me crazy with little things overlooked in OSX, is that so many trends in the interface and general design guides point to Minimalism, and yet the default behavior of taking screenshots is to clutter your desktop. Does this look familiar?
TurboBridge Auto-dialing
I dial into conference calls multiple times per day. It is super annoying to have to dial different codes, and hit # to store a name that is never used. So I started creating a dialing sequence and storing it into a contact. For TurboBridge it looks like: (555)123-4567,,,00000#,,# Of course (555) 123-4567 gets changed […]
ShareMouse vs Synergy
I’ve been a big fan of Synergy for years, using it for sharing the keyboard/mouse on my desk with multiple laptops, and often mixed OS’s (OSX, Windows, Linux). Combined with Quick Synergy, setup is super simple. With any application, there are always pain points. For me those pain points were most frequently about Shift keys […]
ANDROID TO IOS
Aka: Why I switched from Android to IOS [TL:DR]: This will be a long one… I’m a Geek. iPhone wins for Camera Speed, Continuity, and Performance. After some 10+ years as an Android phone user (with a very early sprinkling of Blackberry and Palm, for work), I have made the jump to the iPhone. Technically, […]
Skills Bars
So a trend I’ve seen – for some time, I’m just finally getting to complaining about it – with WordPress template designs is the “Skills Bars”. Basically a bar chart of “proficiency” in different skills. Now I admit, it’s appealing, and its a chance to say “We are Experts”. But lets look at the reality […]
