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 just saw this over at Gizmodo.  I've loved Calvin and Hobbes since I was a kid, and I think this is a fabulous extension of it.

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 just watched the new Knight Rider movie (which was essentially the pilot episode for a new series), and wow.  I really enjoyed it.  I just recently spent some time watching the original series, and it was just as disappointing as every other show I really enjoyed as a child.  I wish I could watch those shows with the same amount ...

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 in the area, and uses that information to triangulate my location.  It's from ...

There's really nothing as dorky as playing a game like Saint's Row - where you're supposed to be a modern tough-ass gangsta, going around town and generally kicking ass and chewing bubblegum - and replacing the sound track with They Might Be Giants songs. I just had a shootout with a rival gang to the sounds of "Clown ...

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 are four of those features that I have actually found a use for. Time ...
