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
September 10th, 2009 
Seth 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
August 13th, 2009 Seth 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
June 26th, 2009 Seth 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
June 11th, 2009 Seth 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
June 1st, 2009 Seth 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
March 23rd, 2009 Seth 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…
July 24th, 2008 Seth 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 [...]
