Confession: I’ve kind of been checking the App Store on my iPhone just a little bit too much lately.  The reason?  Like many, I am just itching for the latest edition of Facebook (version 3.0 if you’ve been hiding under a rock) to come out.  It was submitted to Apple for review last week, and since then the iPhone hype mill has been buzzing about when it will actually be approved. TechCrunch does a great job running down the list of new features that this app will bring to the table.  There’s two that I am particularly interested in: video uploading from the 3GS and access to...

Most anyone that knows me is aware that there is about one thing on my mind right now: the triumphant return of the iPhone as my cell phone of choice.  A little background for you… I was there on the launch day of the original iPhone in June 2007.  I had the phone until about November of that year, and don’t get me wrong, it was the most useful electronic device I had ever owned.  Unfortunately the financial commitment of having the phone was, at that time, a little bit much for me to handle.  I very reluctantly traded down to a Moto Razr for the rest of my contract.

I spent the last week in New York at the NACAC national college fairs in Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse.  New to these fairs was a system where students could create a profile online and then generate a custom barcode that could be scanned by a rep if they wanted more information from that particular college.  It’s great that NACAC has gotten on board with this kind of system because it generates an easy process (.csv file) for loading data (better than the traditional reply/information card, anyway).  More importantly, students are much more inclined to submit their information if it...

Admittedly Dutch: Where technology meets recruitment for higher...

My wife and I have recently been trying to rid our home of anything we don’t use on a day-to-day basis.  Along the way we’ve come across old cell phones, an old PDA, and even an ancient digital camera (it’s like, three years old).  These gadgets are usually great eBay fodder, but I have to be honest: I don’t often have the time and energy to list the item, figure out packaging, and head out to the post office to ship it.  Enter Gazelle. Gazelle is trying to keep old electronics out of the landfill (a noble effort), and they are offering cash for your old stuff.  We had a...
