Adam
A New Name for an Old Blog
If you look closely, you’ll spot that I’ve retitled this blog. It’s the third title in the history of this site and in my opinion the best one yet. What once was Adam Pieniazek, and then was Prose of a Pol, is now: Dot Boston Prose of a Pol was always a bit clunky. Sure […]
ClickToFlash: A Must Have Safari Plugin
Do you ever have issues with Safari going crazy? As mentioned in my 45 Free Mac Apps list, I love Safari and spend most of my browsing time in its friendly confines. But every now and then, the safari turns ugly as fans blare, beachballs spin and cpu and memory use skyrockets. And the problem […]
We MUST Go to Mars
Last night I watched the first episode of Cosmos. Having read the book while in high school, I was excited to watch the video of Cosmos, especially as I’ve heard a ton of good things about it. Plus, space absolutely fascinates me. While deciding on possible college majors while in high school, Astrophysics/Astronomy kept bouncing […]
Music is Math
You might not know it from reading this blog, but I’m very intrigued in the overlap of science and arts. While on the surface they seem to be completely unrelated, in practice logic and creativity tend combine together in both areas. In my mind, Einstein’s theories are artistic just like Picasso’s paintings are scientific. Neither are about randomly creating something out of intuition, nor are they solely focused on following an algorithm to success. […]
Michael Flaherty Now Engages on Twitter
Though blogging and social media are quite old now, many people still doubt it’s power. Well, what if I told you that a blog post here may have encouraged a Boston City Councillor and Mayoral Candidate to not only re-vamp their strategy, but to do so in just one day? Would you then begin to […]
Let’s Share Feeds
Now that NetNewsWire has synced up with Google Reader, I’ve found myself using Google Reader and it’s shared items functionality heavily. Not only do I love sharing items with people I’m connected with on Google Reader and FriendFeed, but I also really love seeing what other people are sharing and liking. For that reason, here’s […]
Michael Flaherty, It’s Not About You, It’s About Me
Here’s the problem with comparing yourself to an iPhone, if you don’t back it up by actually utilizing new technologies well, you come off as insincere and gimmicky. That’s the spot Michael Flaherty, one of the candidates for Mayor of the City of Boston, has placed himself in, at least in this blogger’s eyes. This […]
Five Things the Boston Globe Does Well
Long-time readers of this blog will know I rag on The Boston Globe a fair amount. Well in today’s post we’ll visit the other side of the coin and talk about a few things the Boston Globe does well. Now, this post won’t be full of praise. Rather, I’ll point out a few areas where […]
More Awesome Animation by Steve Scott
Remember the Birdy Nam Nam video I posted here a little while back? Well, here’s another awesome animation video by the same guy and his team. This video is called Exos and dare I say is even more wierd and even more awesome than the video for Parachute Ending!
Check it out:

UnGoals for PodCamp Boston 4
In an article for Directory of Boston about PodCamp Boston 4, I talked a bit about some of the big names leading big talks at #pcb4. Though I’m sure the “A-team” will deliver great presentations and lead engaging discussions, they’re not what I’m most excited about PodCamp 4. Rather, it’s the impromptu discussions that’ll develop […]
