I’ve been cleaning the basement computer lab, and have some stuff to give away. I’ll use free cycle if none of you claim items on the list below… Three Practical Peripherals 288 V.34 Minitower II Data/Fax MODEM with power supplies. One Supra 14,400bis SupraFAX MODEM with power supply. One Practical Peripherals PM1200SA Mini MODEM with […]
So it turns out I have led a rather spoiled life, racking up system time on big-endian systems from a variety of UNIX vendors… I am baffled by some of the little oddities of x86 architecture. I’ll buy beers for the geek that can help me get my Norhtec Microserver GP+ (SiS 55x series x86 […]
I am about to find out if there is such a thing as a free thumb drive. Buy.com and Google Checkout have a deal going where you can knock $10 off the price if you sign up for Google Checkout when you buy something from Buy.com. Last week a co-worker (you rock Ben!) found this […]
For the last few years I have always wanted something that was shown at Macworld San Francisco by Apple. Last year it was the Apple TV that lets me watch internet content on my big screen television from my comfy chair. Most expos they release 3-5 new products that are interesting, but not personally compelling […]
Well – I am not quite finished replacing my old dual 500MHz G4 PowerMac running 10.3 (Panther) with the new 20″ iMac dual core monster running 10.5.1 (Leopard) yet, but getting very close. Here are the remaining issues: 1) Plucker Desktop 1.6.0.1 (yeah, no one has touched the Mac version since 2003!) has a bug […]

Here is a batch mode update… This morning I had an unexpected adventure, just as I was finishing breakfast and feeding the fish, I discovered that my 30 gallon marine aquarium was […]
Apple delivered my shiny new 20″ iMac 2GHz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of Ram today. It has been fun to get it set up and running. Since I just helped a friend set up her MacBook a couple days ago, I thought I’d share some of the stuff I routinely add to a Mac. […]
This looks like a pretty useful list of applications for iPhone users. http://www.macworld.com/2007/08/firstlooks/iphone_apps/
This is a proxy review of my partner’s brand new iPhone. I am impressed. My biggest concern was that this new “smart” phone would have loads of features and suck as a phone. This would be like 99% of the “smart” phones on the market and thus no big surprise. I am thrilled to announce […]
As predicted, the update to AppleTV was available this morning and I downloaded and installed the update via remote control… it took about 12 minutes. YouTube is now a menu option and we enjoyed some Robo Chicken Star Wars spoofs as a test. Navigation of YouTube is going to be interesting; I have to figure […]
