Big Things in My Little World

A couple of things have sort of happened at the same time recently, and I’d like to share them. The first is that I’ve begun hosting a quick little segment on the newscasts of the TV station I work for.  It’s called “Plugged In”, and it focuses on everyday tech headlines.  I try not to [...]

My New(ish) Computer

I’m not sure if it’s coincidental, but my computer died over the weekend.  It wouldn’t ever post after the storms.  It might have been a power surge.  It might have been a known issue with my motherboard being prone to overheating.  If it was overheating, it’s awfully coincidental that it happened during the storms. Anyway, [...]

Good Night, Sweet Van

As Luke and Liv call it, the “Sweet Van” has been put out to pasture.  It was a good vehicle.  It was a loyal vehicle.  But, unfortunately, it was a broken vehicle.  It lived for nearly 20 years before going completely nuts.  As best I can recall, here’s a rundown of it’s more interesting flaws: [...]

Eatin’ Crow… Sort Of

My last post’s title is wrong.  Though to be fair, I did qualify what I meant later on in the post, I feel a little silly about it now. First off, I have an iPhone 3GS, and I really like it so far.  Secondly, I didn’t even pay the discounted retail price for it, so [...]

iPhone 3GS – Do Not Want

As much as I love my current phone, I’m going to pass on this new one, at least for now.  Here’s why… First off, I’m not saying that I wouldn’t take one if someone handed one to me and said “it’s on us”, but at the price point, the features it offers are not enough [...]

New Wheels

New for me, anyway.  I just bought the car featured below.  I REALLY love it.  Before getting it, I considered things like air conditioning and a radio to be luxuries.  Now, I suppose I own a ‘luxury car’.  The video was on Kenny Kent’s website, but Sean helped me pull it off, so enjoy a [...]

A Day Late & Dollar Short… but Ubuntu is Impressive

After learning that I was going to be able to get a hold of an OLPC machine, I decided to look into what it can, and cannot, do.  After realizing it needed custom, proprietary hardware to run Windows, I changed directions, and started getting into Linux, and more specifically Ubuntu.  I’d messed with Ubuntu around [...]

Web Slinger it is…

So in a landslide vote online (5-0), lined up with my own preference, I’m back to being Web Slinger, and I’m glad I did it.  There are several games that are more fun going back to.  I can’t believe I’ve been playing Oblivion on and off for more than TWO YEARS.  I had fired it [...]
