I just have to say, that in this day and age of cold, calculated, cost cutting and crappy customer service, DreamHost chat support is outstanding.
First and foremost, it’s effective. I just migrated my blog from joonsookim.com/blog to blog.joonsookim.com. I’m not particularly technically savvy — plus, I’m told I can be . . . well, [...]

Android (Nexus One) Irony
Alright, I don’t want to get anyone in trouble here, especially after what I sort of consider the kindness of strangers, so I won’t disclose too much detail.
I’m in NYC. I bumped into a couple Google folks — Google folks working on the Nexus One launch. Sincerely, I congratulated them, knowing it was a big [...]
iPhone Relief Part I: Battery Life
I know I’ve been complaining a lot about my iPhone. Apple products are supposed to just work — that’s their brand — and this one just hasn’t, at least not for me. But I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of technology torture, and just about everything’s working now, if not the [...]
Apple Screws Up With the iPhone Yet Again
Some of you may know that I’ve been having myriad problems with my iPhone 3G, mostly around rapidly deteriorating battery life and inability to restore from backup.
Today, Apple released the new 2.1 firmware, and it’s broken my Exchange integration. Right now, I have no calendar, no contacts and no email — the unit is useless [...]
Product Review: iPhone 3G Second Impressions
I’ve been the proud, delighted owner of my 16MB white iPhone 3G for a week now. I love it. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its drawbacks. And I find that many of my complaints are around the absence of functionality I had on my BlackBerry Pearl. Following my first [...]
Product Reviews: My Favorite Third-Party iPhone 3G Applications
Here’s what I’m loving so far:
Evernote — This is a pre-existing capture-organize-search application new to me. Take notes, photos, voice notes. Among the many potential uses, I’m taking photos of random scraps of paper I’ve had lying around, tagging them for Evernote and then tossing ‘em. Love it.
WritingPad — You’ve got to [...]
Product Review Postscript: The [Original] Jawbone Revisited
Over a year ago I endorsed the Jawbone Bluetooth headset with unbridled enthusiasm. At the time, it was clearly superior to any other Bluetooth noise reduction headset. Not too soon after I bought it, my enthusiasm subsided and I reluctantly acknowledged a few concerns. Yet I remained satisfied.
Now, over a year later, [...]
Product Review: iPhone 3G First Impressions
After 6 hours spent at 6 different retail locations over 3 days from Southern to Northern California, I finally have my iPhone 3G!
I switched from my BlackBerry Pearl once Apple removed my primary barrier to adoption — lack of push email and calendar — and I am overlooking the challenging keyboard and lack of [...]
Should I switch to the iPhone?
I’m thinking about it. Thinking about it hard. And I don’t know that I’ll have the strength to resist my consumer impulse.
I’ve loved my BlackBerry Pearl and its predecessors over the past few years. I love the synchronization with my work Outlook; I use email and text messaging constantly, the phone, notes, [...]
Google Reader’s Email Function Forces Use of Gmail
Inspired in part by my colleague Adam Nash’s post on Google Reader, I made the switch a few weeks ago to Google Reader and have been entirely pleased with the clean UI and overall ease of use.
I’ve been using the Email function (see screen shot above) recently but, silly me, just fully realized that Google [...]
