Macworld has come and gone and it’s time to take a look at my predictions and see how well I did:
A new ultra-slim (but non-sub) notebook “Macbook Air”: Check
13 inch, LED screen.
Check
Penryn based, 2.2 or 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU.
I guessed too high here and it’s miniaturized Conroe based. It’s a pity that, […]
It’s that time again, time for the Apple faithful to kneel at the altar of our favorite tech company to hear the first official words of Mr. Reality Distortion himself. For me personally it’s time to accidentally “forget” my wallet at home, lest I be tempted by the latest release. Speaking of the latest releases, […]
I hate days like today. I’d really been looking forward to today, had in fact been somewhat ticking off the calendar to it and yet instead of being a happy day, it’s turned into a god awful, terrible, miserable day.
The reason I’d been looking forward to today was that I heard from an old high […]
I have a picture for you, and a little challenge. What is this laptop case made out of?
Any guesses? Painted metal? Plastic with a stick-on skin? Or is it what it looks like? Is it actually wood? That laptop my friends is made out of… bamboo!
Normally this kind of thing would be an after […]
Being unfortunately saddled with doing web development on Windows I’ve had to come to live with Windows pathetic idea of a terminal, cmd. Since Microsoft apparently doesn’t see value in producing a terminal utility of any real value, cmd is next to worthless, particularly when compared with any *nix terminal application.

The blogoscoped article is very much in the same spirit as the now venerable, but still excellent “What if […]
While messing around with Google Maps to see how far I’m walking from St. Cloud State to the Library (0.8 miles) I discovered a new feature in my map client-o-choice. Called “customize your route” you can now drag and drop the route indicator on the maps. The implementation is still a little rough around the […]
A few months ago I suffered a complete hard drive failure on my home-built PC resulting in a need to reinstall windows from a partial backup. The process was… unpleasant. At some point I got hung up and did a Google search which brought me to a wonderful little gem: “How to Install Windows in […]
Lately I’ve been experimenting with a new writing approach that I’ve really been liking. While previously I would log into WordPress to do my blogging I frequently got distracted by checking out other websites and RSS feeds. Needless to say that was not conducive to getting much done. Clearly something was going to have to […]
Whew. Let me repeat that, whew. One more time, all together now, whew. Ok, that just about sums up the last two weeks. Between school, work and karate, I’ve been pretty much spent. Still, there have been a couple of things I’ve been meaning to post about for some time now, so here they are:
