Google TV

Posted on May 21, 2010
Interesting announcement by Google. Hopefully this means that I can get rid of the AppleTV which can only play Apple-approved formats.

My Thoughts on Pakistan?s Response to ?Everybody Draw Muhammad Day?

Posted on May 20, 2010
I can’t remember the last time I wrote anything remotely political (I usually focus on technology and the law) but I am making an exception here. I don’t care whether someone draws Mohammad.  What truly offends and frightens me is that  the Lahore High Court ordered the Department of Communications to block Facebook through the end of [...

Baby Update

Posted on May 01, 2010
Phew! It’s been a long day and things are finally calming down. Lots of phone calls, voicemail messages, emails, etc. We promise we’ll call respond to each one. We have Skype set up in the room so we can talk (and show you the baby) during the day tomorrow...

Posted on May 01, 2010
Thank you all for your congratulatory notes! We sincerely appreciate all the warm wishes. I still haven’t figured out yet how to share pictures with friends and family without making them publicly available. If you have any suggestions about how to do this, please let me know...

Avoid ?Sync in a Blink? if you have 500+ Contacts

Posted on March 09, 2010
I found “Sync in a Blink” in the iTunes app store. At first glance, it seemed to be a good solution to synchronize my Exchange and Gmail contacts. However, the application did not work for me. When I attempted to synchronize all my contacts, it would crash...

Are You ?Excited? About The Baby?

Posted on March 02, 2010
Ever since we found out that we were having a baby, friends and family have asked me whether I was excited about it. I ended up answering in the affirmative because that was the response expected of me. Truthfully however, I have been more worried than excited...

The Taxi Ride to Midway Airport

Posted on March 01, 2010
Unless you enjoy witnessing gang violence, when the taxi driver offers to take you to Midway airport via I-290, just say no! Stick to I-55 regardless of traffic. For about a minute, I was worried about never getting to see my kid. Fortunately, the event featured only rocks and baseball bats...

Reaching Out to IP Attorneys ? Part 1

Posted on January 31, 2010

Finally saw L.A. & Hollywood

Posted on January 04, 2010
A couple of friends offered to show us around Hollywood and Los Angeles.  The “tour” took about 3 hours and started out with a drive through the UCLA campus which was definitely the highlight for me. Then, we hit the major tourist attractions — Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the Walk of Fame, the Hollywood sign, etc...

Narrowed it down to the Samsung and the Toshiba.

Posted on November 28, 2009
My 6 year old Panasonic plasma TV died a few weeks ago. I had been considering getting a new HDTV anyway so this was somewhat of a coincidence. After asking around, I have (I think!) narrowed it down to the Samsung LN46B630 and the Toshiba REGZA 55ZV650U...

I’ve been taking way too many photos with my iPhone. Even though the image quality is downright horrible, the reason I end up taking pictures with it is because it’s always with me. The DSLR along with the heavy lenses sits at home, unused for months at a time...

Simplification – Part II

Posted on June 19, 2009
A couple of days after that last post, it occurred to me that simplification need not be limited to physical objects. My life is cluttered with plenty of other distractions such as email, social networking sites, and even people. So, I used Rescue Time to track my activities on my personal laptop...
