One of the posters to YouTube has been singled out lately because of his uniqueness: he calls himself geriatric1927, and posts candidly about himself, addressing his videos to fellow YouTubers. I like him. I think his posts are truthful, and present an interesting picture of a man you would otherwise simply walk by on the [...]
» Go to this postA few months ago, both Ligia and I got taped for a new show on HGTV called “I Want That! Tech Toys“, the kid brother, so to speak, of “I Want That!”, which is a wildly popular show. By the look of it, this new show is going to make it big as well.
At any [...]
I complained in a previous post about how I wanted to buy a Mac laptop that I’d use for both work on pleasure, but couldn’t, because I was shackled to Windows OS for most of my development work, and there were certain things that just didn’t work on the Mac, with either Boot Camp or [...]
» Go to this postIf there are some of you out there using the beta version of Windows Desktop Search - you know, the one that imitates both Spotlight and Google Desktop Search - then you probably know it’s alright.
I’m amazed that Microsoft has actually turned out a usable piece of software that doesn’t crash. I like it because [...]
Treat yourself to a fun read, and have a go at this Engadget post about locking gas caps. The post itself isn’t that interesting, but the comments are! Get through the first few tens, and then they really start getting interesting! Trust me, it’s a good encapsulation of what people in other countries think about [...]
» Go to this postI posted a couple of days ago about the launch of the new 2007 MINI Cooper S, and I said I wasn’t too crazy about the exterior. I still hold that opinion, and to prove it, here are some photos of my very own 2003 Cooper S, alongside a couple of photos of the 2007 [...]
» Go to this postI’m sure plenty of you have heard of the AOL data leak that put them to shame and made it super easy to identify users based on their searching habits. If you haven’t, read up on it. Poor Thelma Arnold. If she only knew she’d be the first public victim of search engine snooping, she’d [...]
» Go to this postNot sure if you knew this, but when you travel to Italy, you WILL get overcharged, and I mean grossly so, especially in Rome. Peter Kiefer of the New York Times details in an article called “When in Rome, don’t expect to pay as the Romans do“, how the Italians consider it normal to engage [...]
» Go to this postHoly mackerel! BMW’s just released photos and updated specs for the 2007 MINI Cooper. As I write this, the MINI website hasn’t been updated with photos or specs. You can’t build a 2007 MINI yet, although that’ll soon change. Call me crazy, but I think the exterior of my 2003 MINI Cooper S looks much [...]
» Go to this post… Or, more precisely, when it comes to home computers for one’s parents or friends who aren’t geeks like me…
I’ve been learning a hard lesson these past few weeks, as my parents go through a time of computer trouble, and since I’m the one who purchased their computer equipment and set up their network, it’s [...]
I’ve been meaning to post about IconSurf for some time. It’s a cool site/search engine that lets you search for other sites based on their favicon graphics - you know, the .ico files that reside at the root level of sites, they show up in your browser’s address bar, next to the URI. What’s stopped [...]
» Go to this postYes, I know the keynote address was given a few days ago, and this post is late, but something’s bothered me ever since I watched it. There were two things, actually, and both had to do with Steve Jobs:
He seemed thinner than unusual, and tired. His face was pale, and slightly haggard. Was it just [...]
