Apple, AT&T, and some crap about a new iPhone
So Apple announced their new 3G iPhone today, and I was seriously considering purchasing one.  That is until I read these two articles. This article posits that AT&T and Apple are making it so that one will need to activate the iPhone in the Read More...
Jesus Christ is a mailbox
I have absolutely nothing to write about, but I'm not going to let that stop me from making a blog post, seeing as how I haven't made one for a while. I've found this really cool application for my iPhone that looks for Wi-Fi/Cellular towers Read More...
OS X Leopard: The wow started when I installed Vista
I waited in line to buy OS X Leopard tonight, and I'm really unimpressed. It's pretty - prettier than Tiger, just by a little bit - but this supposed list of 300 new features is a bunch of bullshit. Or catshit. It's some sort of shit. There Read More...
Finally! A Robot Slave of My Own!
I recently became the proud owner of an iRobot Roomba. For those of you who aren't familiar with what this is, it's a little robot hockey puck looking thing that wanders around my house and vacuums it for me. I typically let it go do it's Read More...
I has a Flickr account
Since I'm brand new to this Intartubez thing, I just got myself a flickr account. Actually, I got it because there's an application for the iPhone that automatically uploads pictures taken with the phone to a flickr account. Oh yeah, I got an Read More...
My Operating System Odyssey
Forgive the overwhelming geekiness of this post, but - no, I take that back. If you don't like this, I hate you. Over the last week, I've made some big changes to my computing environment at home. I figured that I'd record some of my observations Read More...
Mac Mini Redux
About every six months, it hits me. Suddenly, and without warning I will wake up in the morning and say to myself "Why don't I have a Mac?" And for the next few days, I will go through all the associated shit - talking to friends and relatives, Read More...
He's doing it wrong
I was reading a really interesting article about birth-control through the ages over at DamnInteresting.com , and I came across this particular gem. Ancient Rome's foremost gynecologist – a physician named Soranus – wrote that women should Read More...
Roast Beast
And so, here I am in my apartment in downtown Seattle. Let's just get this out of the way. My main computer broke during the move, and I'm significantly pissed off about it. The USB ports would no longer recognize any devices plugged into them, Read More...
New Toy
I got a new toy this weekend. I figured that if I was going to be watching a lot of TV while I'm in pain, it shouldn't be painful to watch TV. Of course, it wasn't painful to watch my old one - it was a really nice TV. But this one's nicer. Read More...
Holy Mother Of God
... I... I would have sex with this car . Seriously. WANT. Read More...
Windows Home Server On the Cheap... sort of.
My buddy, Robert McLaws, recently posted about how he built his beta Home Server for under $500 (he says that he's using it during the beta and will buy an OEM one when it's released... I actually think that building your own is the best bet). Read More...
Things I Shouldn't Do: #2.1x10^7
I shouldn't buy this . Nope. Totally shouldn't buy it. I have no business buying something like this. At all. It wouldn't look good on my wall, above my fireplace, and it certainly wouldn't adequately replace the TV and entertainment center Read More...
Holy. Fscking. Shit.
Wow... just... Wow. Sexiest thing I have ever seen. Ever. Read More...
Speech recognition for the lazy blogger
Because I'm still not to sleep tonight, I'm dabbling with speech recognition in Windows Vista. At no point in this blog post have my hands touched the keyboard. So, assuming that my hand surgery - if I do actually have hand surgery - goes poorly, Read More...
