The intertubes of the Web are abuzz with talk of the new, open-source Google Chrome browser [two articles here and here]. I will not presume to wade into the debate of whether it is necessary, or what strategic business goals Google has set that rely on having its own browser. I will limit my comments [...]

I have a problem: I like to collect GSM phones. Right now, I have seven.

Ugh.

I have been playing with my personal site, Pierzchala.com, and finally set the re-design loose last night. The last time I touched the layout was 2002 (I think), and it was all done in tables. The new design uses CSS, and makes controlling the layout so easy.
And, thanks to Matt Mullenweg, the header logo rotates [...]

Did we mention that the layout doesn’t work in Firefox or MSIE 7?

Oooops.

When I got to the London office, I started talking about how I had an addiction to sexy GSM phones, and showed off my collection. I then noted that the Motorola Razr seems to be a pretty hot commodity these days in London. My colleagues laughed, and one of them pulled his old Razr out [...]

I will admit it.
I have a problem.
I am addicted to GSM phones.
From L to R: Samsung R225m, Motorola V188, Treo 600, Sony Ericsson K700i

My Jimi Wallet

My Jimi Wallet arrived today. And it is exactly as advertised.
Small. Compact. Solid.

It forces you to seriously consider the items that you need to take with you on your everyday. I narrowed it down to exactly what I thought it would in this post.
What I am waiting for are the hacks that are sure [...]

Scott Johnson writes about how we all want to drop our mobile provider every once and a while. [here]
I have the same provider that Scott does: T-Mobile.
I am a complete T-Mobile lover. The coverage is great, and the use of GSM makes it so perfect for my travel needs, which includes the occasional trip to [...]

I have been shopping around for a new, unlocked GSM phone. I live in the US, so these are not as readily available as they are in the rest of the civilized world.
The criteria I have can be summed up easily:

Candybar/brick: I have learned to hate flip phones
Tri-Band: 900/1800/1900 (no 850 for me!) for largest [...]

I have been making some changes to this blog and MSIE continues to gibble the CSS layout.
Well, too bad for them.
Get a real browser.
This blog no longer supports MSIE <= 6.x.
