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

Diddlebug For Palm Finally Updated

I am absolutely thrilled! Diddlebug hasn’t been updated in nearly four years, which is amazing. This classic Palm application is one of the single most useful applications ever made for mobile devices ever, and I’m not overstating the facts. The funny thing is that Diddlebug is really nothing more than a drawing program with an alarm [...]

I’m still on the fence about the Envy 133 from Voodoo. The biggest killers for me are Vista and its MacBook like specs with MacBook Pro pricing. The one cool thing is that the Envy 133 features an implementation of the Splashtop’s instant-on mode, dubbed the Voodoo IOS. Apparently, you can boot into the IOS in [...]

Ok. This is just plain sick/kewl/nerd to the extreme. This is a screenshot of Windows 3.1 running in DOSBox on a Nokia N810 Internet Tablet. No, this is not me.

It seems that when smart people do stupid things, the stupidity of the stupid thing increases in the volumetric value of its stupidness. I like to consider myself a smart person, but I might have to downgrade myself based on what I did this weekend. Of course, since this is teh intarwebs, I’m going to share the extent of my stupidity in the hopes that others might not delve where I’ve gone. So, what did I do on Saturday afternoon which warrants so much personal loathing and this discourse for the public good?
