I’m finally ready to purchase a smartphone, but I have a lot of options to consider.  A couple years ago the obvious choice was the iPhone, but for a number of reasons I have decided to never get an iPhone.  That’s not to say that I’m rejecting the best possible option, arguably the iPhone was great when it initially launched, but the competition is better than ever.

So I’ve narrowed it down to several phones either available now or coming soon.

Social networks have invaded the internet by storm over the past decade or so.  There are way too many to count, but only a few cater to a general audience of any background.  The obvious ones are the big names like Facebook or Twitter, and even MySpace (yes, people still use MySpace!).  There are many more that cater to a select demographic: religions, ethnicity, political opinion, location, … the list goes on.  What we lack is the “one site to rule them all,” let me explain.

First, here’s a little background: I have been an avid Google Reader user for well over a year now. I subscribe to about ten news feeds of sites that I would previously visit on a daily basis.

I bought a really nice new webcam, but I can’t find any good PC software for it. I’m considering attempting to make one myself that suits my needs:

It’s a high resolution camera, but ultimately I’m only going to upload low-res shots online; therefore, I want it to be able to do digital zooming. Not even zooming really, it’s just that most software I found, whether I have my camera running in 1280×1024 or 800×600, it records the same area. What I want is something that can record 1280×1024 and clip out that part in the middle that I want to be 800×600.

Web integration, Java or Flash based, just somewhat real-time.

That’s actually the easy part, the hard part is what the hell am I going to record with this thing anyway?

This is the return of Enter-Key.net, my blog that has gone down and up repeatedly over the past 5 years. This will be the central location for the various projects that I work on including websites, applications, games, photography, and art. I’ll try to keep my rants to a minimum because that’s what twitter is for.
