I read this article for a while at work today, and it's spot on. I've tried to program against Linux before, and it was a nightmare.  I chose to try using a C# compiler from the Mono project, and a free (because everything for Linux is free) IDE called SharpEdit (or #Edit, or something like that). There were no fewer than 30 steps that I ...

I'm pretty sure I want this.   Introducing... the HTC Touch HD - MoDaCo

I told Marc about this a long time ago, but I totally forgot to blog it.  And, since I have nothing else to talk about, I figured now would be a good time. About a month or so ago, I was at a doctor appointment to get a refill on my antidepressants.  The office where my head meat doctor works is … interesting.  It’s actually in a ...

Emmi and I are at a wedding for one of her best friends this weekend.  We're staying in this awesome bed and breakfast (aside:  I've never stayed in a "BnB", as I've heard them called, before.  I have no idea what the protocols are.  Also, ".com" looks like ".corn" when I don't have my glasses ...

Emmi is out of town for the latter part of this week, so once again, I am temporarily a bachelor of sorts. Now, you might ask yourself "Mike - how do you spend your time now that you're temporarily a bachelor of sorts?", but that would be stupid of you.  You should be asking me, because I know the answer to that question.  ...

Fuzzy sent me a link to this video: I really don't even know what to say about it.  I actually watched the whole thing.  I've long been of the opinion that, if you took all of the time that people have used to create things like this, and devoted it to other things like, you know, cancer or AIDS or space travel, the human ...

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 store, not at home, just like every other cell phone out there.  That’s sort of the pain in ...

I've been sober for a year. Wel, not totally sober - I've had a beer every now and then, but compared to the amount that I used to drink it's hardly worth mentioning.  In all honestly, I could probably count the number of beers I've had in the last year on one hand (using base-2). I say that I've been sober for ...

Our first week in Vietnam has come and gone, and it's still great.  We just got back into Saigon from a trip to Nha Trang, which is an ocean-side city about 45 minutes (flying) from Saigon.  It was fantastic.  We spent two whole days sitting in front of the ocean on beach-chairs drinking cheap drinks and eating fresh ...

For those of you playing along at home, that's a reference to a series of blog entries I did in a past life about a trip I took to China.  It has nothing to do with this post. Emmi and I have landed in South Korea, and we're sitting outside of an internet cafe that has apparently forgotten to secure their wireless internet ...
