Just another weblog
I’ve been using Verizon’s EV-DO service for the past couple of weeks, and I have to say that I absolutely love it. Its fast…. its VERY fast. I almost never worry about trying to find a wifi hotspot anymore since I can get around 500kps on the EV-DO network most of the time (and faster […]
As I said before, I continue to tell people NOT to buy HDTV sets for various reasons… one of which is the fact that the HDTV “standard” is a bit of a moving target. A couple of years ago at CES, 1080-progressive, or 1080p, had become popular… (not there was any content for that format […]
Lots of folks in the advertising business have been poo-poo’ing the whole TiVo and PVR revolution… but I’m glad some advertisers are finally starting to adapt to the new technology instead of bitching about it: Advertisers are running into a jam. With more and more people using digital video recorders, people are just zipping through […]
If you’re running Trillian, you probably have run into the same problem I ran into with Miranda IM… please update your version of Trillian or you’ll be unable to receive messages from people with current versions of an ICQ client. AIM/ICQ patch available for all versions of Trillian (02-15-2006)

I went to the local Verizon store today to buy a Treo 700w. But I didn’t. Its not to say its not a great phone: The sound quality is awesome – its loud and clear (finally!) The proc is pretty quick – but its not quick enough… I managed to get it to slow down […]
Everyone else is doing it… so I did it too: Apparently I’m an “Encouraging Leader“.
Ok so people continue to ask me – “Does this ColdHeat thingy really work?” I actually got one as a gift from Dirk, and quite frankly – I like it. It does take a little while to get used it – this is not your father’s soldering iron. But once you realize that its not […]
For years, I’ve been discouraging people from buying HDTV’s for two reasons… To date, there are very few shows in any sort of HiDef format or resolution HDTV display technology is changing rapidly and improving by leaps and bounds while prices continue to drop There’s still very few shows to watch in HD… and while […]
