Long time, no tweet! I finally came up with an idea for my phrind.com domain, and its for kids. 5 2009/12/02
Time flies when you're not having fun. Anyway, found a great deal on 4-port USB 2.0 hubs with a power supply at Walmart. Red tagged at US$15 5 2009/07/12
As always, I endeavor to continue on no matter what. I know I have a lot of loyal readers, but it would be nice to hear from you on occasion 5 2009/06/25
I'm holding on as well as I can, which isn't very well. This economy is eating my family alive, but them's are the breaks. 5 2009/06/25
You can't get the whole app. Just one window. That's stupid. 5 2009/06/10

Damned Long Weekend

When you have kids things just generally take longer. Sadly, technology doesn’t really make it any easier. You might be surprised to discover that I am not a PIM freak. In fact, I try to use PIMs as little as possible and I’m pretty successful with that effort. I’ve never found a PIM which liked me. There are plenty of them out there, too. I just can’t find one that works with what I like, nor is there likely to ever be one. I’m a nerd first and a journalist second. I get loads of gear all the time.

The great thing about being a nerd is that you look everywhere to find out about new kit. In this case, I was watching a recent episode of Beyond Tomorrow on the Science Channel and they showed off this little gadget. This is the Yamaha EZ-AG Digital Guitar.

Dell Studio Lappies Not Crappy At All

If you were looking at these 15″ and 17″ backhinged, widescreen lappies sporting an integrated webcam and thinking, “Damn! Dell just undercut Apple big time!“, you’d be mostly right. Sadly the 15″ model ships with a 1280×800 display while the 17″ gets 1440×900, and both get connected to 256MBs of dedicated VRAM, except the lowly 15″ [...]

I’m not sure when this will become available in the US or for how much, but its kinda cool. Honlai has shown their new QingBar iPod projector dock and its looking pretty neat. Keep in mind, however, that it maxes out at 10-15 Lumens, a 200:1 contrast ratio, and 640×480 fixed resolution. That’s not so bad, [...]
