James M. posted an article on - Sep 29, 2011, 6:21 am
Payment statistics for the Humble Frozen Synapse Bundle are broken down by operating system. It’s worth noting that when users are asked to “name their own price,” Linux users — in this particular instance — are willing to part with more money than Mac users, who are currently second, an...

I witnessed a tornado that touched down in Windsor, VA. This is video that I took — which was aired on WAVY, FOX, and other television networks — and this was my first experience with tornadoes. I wouldn’t describe it as terrifying, but it was unbelievable. In the end, however, I can check “...

Comma Usage and Placement

James M. posted an article on - Mar 11, 2011, 11:26 pm
Not long ago I e-mailed Tobias Wolff, a Stanford professor and writer of the novels The Barracks Thief and Old School, for advice about comma usage and placement. This was his response: Dear Mr. Mowery, Good question. These days I write with more attention to rhythm than to rules, which...

78 Keys

James M. posted an article on - Feb 8, 2011, 11:08 pm
These 78 keys of Chinese plastic on my Macbook are the closest I may ever feel to an aura of divulgence that I rarely experienced before. As I sit here on my bed and depress these blocks that transpose electrical signals into symbolical meanings, I realize something — something quite import...

Writer's Block

James M. posted an article on - Jan 31, 2011, 12:10 am
I can’t write anything on this godforsaken Tumblr account without backtracking. I have ten drafts in the queue, with well-thought ideas within them all. But I can’t finish a single one of them. What is wrong with me? My last resort is to write about nothing — prepare to be blown away....

Being Better

James M. posted an article on - Jan 23, 2011, 1:57 pm
Merlin Mann wrote an inspiring piece about how to be better. In it, he noted a few things he attempts to do everyday to better himself. Some of them I already do, and some of them I believe I will start to do. However, all of these these are things that we all could (and probably should) do to bette...

The Write Stuff

James M. posted an article on - Jan 2, 2011, 7:47 pm
I don’t write because I want to; I write because I have to. I love expressing my own opinions. I pretty much have an opinion about everything — from how ridiculous politics are to how fake reality television truly has become. Writing just so happens to be the most effective medium for me ...

Mark Cuban: 'I Hate to Lose.' Cheats to Win Instead?

James M. posted an article on - Nov 17, 2008, 1:39 pm
Mark Cuban, Internet entrepreneur, HDNet owner and Dallas Mavericks team owner, is quite the tech savvy guy. Interestingly, he is someone that I looked up to — someone I believed that could achieve success and still be a normal guy. However, allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (S...

Yahoo: Critical Times for a Great Company

James M. posted an article on - Aug 12, 2008, 5:58 pm
If you want to talk about a company with problems, Yahoo! would likely come up in the conversation. The once unstoppable internet giant has quickly faded away from the spotlight, and, worse still, it has almost faded entirely from existence. With angry investors, impatient media, and one persistent ...

FriendFeed: The People Reader I Always Subconciously Desired

James M. posted an article on - Aug 6, 2008, 4:08 pm
I just had a thought about how interesting it would be to have a feed reader that was no longer focused on individual blogs, but instead, it was focused on subscribing to individuals like journalists and bloggers—the people who create the content. This would put more emphasis on the content creato...

The "Mojave Experiment" Reactions

James M. posted an article on - Jul 29, 2008, 7:37 pm
Windows has only taken small strides to advertise Windows Vista in the past, but the “Mojave Experiment” marks a significant effort to market Windows Vista as a product that users should consider (and, for many, reconsider). The advertising campaign has already generated plenty of discussion, so...

Microsoft Windows is the most popular operating system available today, and that is a given. However, Mac OS X holds a serious amount of potential for future development. This article has nothing to do with which system is better than the other, but, instead, it is focused on which system offers dev...

Twitter and Jaiku—these two similar services were battling it out for mini-blogging supremacy during a time when the average person had little to no knowledge of what mini-blogging was. Twitter came out on top, but don’t think for a second that it was because Twitter was better. Instead, it was ...
