iPad Excitement!

Yes, the news is out. Apple is releasing the iPad, to start shipping in 60 days. There has been much discussion amongst the peanut gallery on this one, but I, for one, am exceedingly happy about the release, although maybe not for the reasons you may think. The Apple iPad (I keep wanting to type […]

Kudos Amazon!

Quite a while back, in September in fact, I ordered a big honkin battery for my Acer Aspire One. I bought the 9 cell version through Amazon from a place called NewMP3Technology. The battery came, I charged it right up and used it on the upcoming Ohio Linux Fest. My only note on it was […]

Video4Fuze

WOW! Dann pulls through again! I have had my Sansa Fuze for quite a while now and I completely dig it. It’s just simply one of the best “mp3 players” out there. Of course it does much much more than that . It plays Ogg natively and other formats too, and it’s not DRM magnet […]

I Am talking about actual hand-type tools, not fancy laptops, big brains or large amounts of your favorite caffeinated beverage and pizza. Surprisingly, I use very few. The first thing I picked up is a little toolkit. I don’t think you […]

New Toy

Hey, if Dann can post about his new sandals then me posting about my new TV should be a no brainer. My wife made me go out and get myself a “good daddy” present for her to be able to use. For the first time in many, many years we bought a new TV. This […]
