Who Knows the Secret Identity of the Playstation 3?
The number of articles I have written over the past year that have, unfortunately, painted a negative picture of Sony's management direction of the Playstation 3 product line have reached a...
I decided to present myself a challenge: could I build, install, and fully test a new Main Tower build in the three days that I was on the ground at home before flying out again on Sunday. It was...
In some 8 years of being a techno-geek, I have suffered few financial setbacks...ok, not in the global sense, but in terms of money blown or lost on a particular gadget or upgrade. I've had one bad...
I recently watched Hugo Ortega's video blog of him picking up his latest UMPC, the Raon Everun. Although I do not care for this particular device (more on that another day), one of his comments...
Strange things happen on travel. I have a friend, a real computer genius as opposed to my poser status, who frequently comments that he does not see how I get much return on investment from my...
I'm in for a quick 3-day stop over the weekend before I hit the road again. A lot has changed in my equipment loadout over the last couple of weeks, coupled with some, somewhat quirky, but in the...
I have been in Panera Bread for some 4 and-a-half odd hours, for predominantly one reason: yesterday I went and bought my first Mac. Well, ok, in actuality a buddy of mine bought it for me using...
OK, I took off from work yesterday afternoon to see Spiderman 3...a perfectly justifiable reason for an afternoon out of the office. Besides , I needed the downtime after the two week install trip...
My cubemate and I were having a conversation today about reserve tanks on motorcycles. I told him that it wasn't the reserve tank that bothered me, it was the fact that most bikes without a...
I've had my Blackberry 8700c for about 15 months now. Cingular has an upgrade model out now, the 8800. The phone functionally does nothing more than the 8700c...it's just slimmer, and I...
So I made a blog entry at the first of the year...and none since then. I've done a lot of flip-flopping on where I am on this whole hobby...gaming, computer technology, mobile tech, etc....
Well, the new year has come and gone without much ado. I finally finished my rewatch of the Lord of the Rings trilogy this morning, and plan on watching Red Dawn this week. This is one of those...
As I headed into the Thanksgiving Day weekend, and for the remainder of the year, my sessions on XBL were not as good as they had been through the first three-quarters of 2006. I just think the...
Since my workout partner did not want to meet this morning until 7:30 to lift weights, I had an extra 30 minutes in my morning routine to squeeze in some time with Star Trek Voyager Elite Force....
Well, I did get some playtime in with Prey yesterday. unfortunately, I spent my first 30 minutes or so troubleshooting. The game hung-up in the pre-load screen every time I tried to start it. I...
Well, I am back. 550 miles at just about exactly 8 hours. I did wind up finishing Soldier of Fortune II, and got a couple of hours in on Company of Heroes. It's amazing to see the small level of...
Well, today is Christmas eve. My brother is still hanging out with his psychotic I-don't-know-what-I-want-out-of-life on-again-off-again girlfriend. Mom is still running errands and starting preps...
I'm over at my bro's house again using his internet connection. I put about four more hours into Soldier of Fortune II and I think I'm pretty near the end. But I am stuck, so one of the things I'll...
Feh. The SCAD students living in my Mom's neighborhood have perhaps gotten smarter, or else there are just more of them with crappy equipment. Since my Mom does not have broadband, I get my...
I'm getting ready to get on the road and head home for the holidays. Going into my technology bag for the trip are my: Asus Z96J Laptop (w/ Soldier of Fortune II and Company of Heroes) Gateway...
