What’s your user experience so far with Siri?

Greg Wiegand — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 16:49:11 +0000

Siri is stirring a lot of action on social media sites. User experience has been varied as to how well it seems to recognize a command and provide appropriate feedback. Apple still has this software as “beta” state, so that leaves room for improvement. I’m very interested to see how your experience has been so …

Shades State Park with my iPhone 5

Greg Wiegand — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 15:37:26 +0000

What’s that saying? The best camera is the one you have with you. I just happened to be hiking in Shades State Park in western Indiana and suddenly found myself with some perfect light, a still Sugar Creek and lots of winter foilage. All I had with me was my iPhone 4, several iPhone photography …

Sunday’s trip through the Indiana Flood of 2008

Greg Wiegand — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 03:11:00 +0000

I spent Saturday, like most people in Indiana, checking TV reports to see all the flooding in Indiana. Although I live in Carmel, IN and we managed to miss the heavy rains on Friday night and Saturday morning, I also have a house on Sweetwater Lake in Brown County. Also, my parents and many friends …

I’ve now had a couple of days to play around with the Wii Fit software and accompanying Wii balance board. So, now on to games. It’s going to be interesting to see what kinds of games develop that really utilize this new controller device. Skiing seems like the most obvious, but what other activities mostly …

Well, last night UPS did indeed deliver my brand new Wii Fit from Amazon.com. In anticipation, I also hit Target on the way home and snagged a copy of We Ski, because a guy has to have a little fun along with his fitness! The Hardware My first impression of the Wii balance board was …

Harley LED lights: Safety or sparkle?

Greg Wiegand — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 03:37:00 +0000

I recently upgraded the rear lighting on my 2007 H-D Road King with LED lights. Safety first, you know. Changing out the turn signals so that they illuminate while stopping gets you more attention from the cars behind. Add to that the fact that LED is much brighter than standard incandescent bulbs and you have …

Managing your Money with Mint.com

Greg Wiegand — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:26:00 +0000

I recently had a high school classmate recommend a new site to me. She said it was started by a friend’s son, that it was very easy to use (much easier than Quicken) and it had received some very positive reviews. So I decided to check out Mint.com, the “refreshing money management” site. This site …

Did Blu-Ray win?

Greg Wiegand — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:42:00 +0000

I am normally an early adopter. I jump on things probably before I should. I bought my HDTV way before LCD. It is a CRT monster that takes several grown men to move. I bought one of the first TiVo DirectTV units (which I had a great time hacking and is still running!). However, I …

New blog started!

Greg Wiegand — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:25:00 +0000

Greetings and welcome. As part of my 2008 NY resolutions, I will attempt to keep up a blog. What do I have to contribute to the blogosphere? I’ve been in publishing for over 15 doing technology publishing and very integrated in information technology. I’m not a programming or technology geek, so can’t add much new …
