I just recently took this video for a spin and posted my review on the O’Reilly site, Native Video in HTML5

Overall I gave it 4 stars.  Check out the review:

I was looking at various ways to create a lookbook or flip book online and ran across some different solutions including page-flip.com, flashpageflip.com, andfreshcatalog.com</a. After doing some more searching, even looking at Drupal integration, I ran across a very cool service available online. It’s called Issuu.

A few days ago an apple employee gets drunk and forgets his phone at the bar. It’s not just any phone though, it’s the next generation iPhone not to be out for months.  Given how secretive Apple is, I’m sure this person is in a world of hurt right now.  I was kind of surprised when I saw the story on Gizmodo a few days ago, but was even more surprised when I saw it in the NY Times this morning.  Someone is going to be getting a serious spanking from Steve Jobs.

As google seeks to dominate all things digital, it gets one step closer.  This time with language translation.  It’s actually quite impressive to see the results.  I read this article from the NY Times and was pleasantly surprised.

I ran across this bacon air freshener today.  Get your fix of fatty goodness when you are on your commute to work.  Forget about the trees, try out some bacon!  http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/bacon-air-freshener.html

If you came to this site in the last month or two you might have noticed some weird things happening.  You look at a post and then you are redirected to some random site trying to sell you something.  Turns out I got hit by a hacker targeting WordPress on Media Temple.  Almost 1/4 of all WordPress blogs on my host got hacked..lucky me!  If you are running WordPress don’t forget to keep up with security updates and keep your server perms in check.  I haven’t posted on johnarroyo.com for months because of work, but that also meant I hadn’t properly updated my WordPress installation in a while either.
