I am really excited about some sound gear I have ordered. Allow me to take you on a tour. As valuable background information: I will be moving in a few weeks and will have some rooms that I don’t have speakers for. My current surround sound setup will go in the basement with the [...] February 4th, 2010
I take note of the headphones that people are wearing while they are listening to music while riding public transit. For the most part I do not judge people based on the headphones they are using, though I admit that I often confirm my judgements based on them.

Have you ever noticed a tendency for Windows application developers to assume that their software is the One True Reason that you have a computer? It puts an icon on your desktop, in your quick launch bar, at the top of the Start menu, and in a new program group in the Programs folder. [...] January 28th, 2010
If you are reading this on the Internet then you must know what the iPad is. Sure, there’s lots that could be written on that topic but really I’d like to write about mobile data. We all have mobile phones, and almost all of them these days have data service. A lot of us [...] June 18th, 2009

Windows Media Player has this smart functionality built in that will allow you to update metadata, including cover [...] June 11th, 2009
At work I use the Mozilla Firefox web browser with the Flashblock add-on. This wonderful add-on will prevent flash objects from loading on a page, but still allow you to click the object to load the flash. This is wonderful for blocking those ridiculous flash adverts that consume more resources than the page [...] June 8th, 2009
Prepare for a little bit of geek-talk. I’ve been thinking a lot about backups lately. I have regular backups, but not of all of my data. What’s worse is that the data that isn’t regularly backed up is the data that would be the most difficult to replace. Currently my only personal computer is my [...] February 8th, 2009
“I feel like I look ten years younger.” It’s not me saying this–it’s my web log. Some of my eldest readers might remember a time when I was using bBlog to publish my web log, using the default theme. Eventually I found a theme very similar to the theme I use today, only with [...] |
