The company I work for, PAQ Interactive, just finished putting on the InfoAg 2011 conference, and it was a blast. Tons of attendees, great presentations, and some pretty cool exhibitors. The best part was that this was the first conference we offered a companion iPhone and Android application for, and the coolest part was the [...]
So for Valentine’s day, my amazing girlfriend got me a Kindle 3G+WiFi!!! It is my first eReader, and I have to say, I’m absolutely blown away. I’ve tried reading on my iPhone and various Laptops / Macs, and have always had to go back to paper print. Not so with the Kindle. The contrast is [...]

Or, are you a programmer who is curious about where your skill level is, but can’t seem to find a good means of measuring it? If so, then you should totally check out this bad boy. [...]
For my first ever blog post, I thought I’d share something simple, sweet, and just plain awesome. First though, some background is in order. I own a MacBook. It was my first introduction into a *nix based OS, and finally allowed me to push from seeing Linux as a novel idea, cool and breaking of [...]
