One of my hobbies is going around to various discount book / music stores and picking up music discs. Sometimes I know what I am getting (the other day I was able to pick up six different discs from the Eagles for $2 each) and sometimes I have no idea. When I only spend a [...]
I have an iPod that’s about 3 years old. I love it. I have the 80gb model, and I have filled it up. Yes, it’s possible. When I bought it Apple offered two models with capacity of 80 or 160gb. Later on when I was beginning to wish that I had the larger [...]
Earlier this week I filled up my 80gb iPod. I had a lot of fun doing it too. Tonight I went through and removed duplicate song titles (due to “greatest hits” albums, mostly) and recovered about 4gb of space. Time to do more shopping…
I was looking at the Apple store today, thinking that [...]
I have a set of Bose QC2 headphones that are like American Express: I never leave home without them. They’ve made several trips over the Atlantic and travelled all over the US as well. On my last trip one of the earcups (the left one, if it matters) just… fell off. The plastic [...]
There was some talk about the world dropping into a black hole when the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) was fired up for the first time. I happen to be half-way around the world from the site of the collider, but it seems that I still would know about a black hole devouring the Earth by [...]
Today I downloaded the custom E*Trade mini-applet for my blackberry phone. It looks really nice. I am going to have to look around for more applets like this that will allow me to use my phone for specific purposes rather than using a generic web site that wasn’t designed for the smaller screen.
I am really [...]
I while back I posted about the LHC or Large Hadron Collider coming online soon. Well, it seems that someone over there has a sense of humor.
And a video camera.
Check out the LHC Rap, and you just might learn something.
This past week I joined the 21st century. I purchased a smart phone… specifically, a Blackberry Curve. And yes, I got the version with the “magnetic red” cover so it matches my car.
I have to tell you that I’m really excited about this, more than any other new toy in quite a long [...]
A few days ago I spent some time talking with tech support (one of my favorite activities). I have a *mumble* computer with two matching digital flat panel displays from the same company. At times when I boot the system one monitor (the “primary” one) would fail to start up, while the secondary monitor would. [...]
It could have been us. I read a news article a few days ago talking about the LHC or Large Hadron Collider (see related links for wiki article) is about to go online. Most folks probably won’t remember but the US was going to build something along the same lines in the area south of [...]
