iPhone. iDontGetIt

The iPhone. Ok, I finally got to play with one - thanks Mickey. It is pretty cool, but still. Windows Mobile can do everything plus more than the iPhone can, so why aren’t the fanboi’s wetting themselves over Windows Mobile devices? Why aren’t companies like SmugMug, 37Signals, Digg, etc making specific versions just for Windows Mobile? Windows [...]

How the f*#k! do I hibernate in Windows Vista??

Ok, so today was at Starbucks, and wanted to move on down the road, so I wanted to hibernate. To no avail, no option to hibernate my laptop in the shutdown area. Just sleep, shutdown, restart.
After 10 minutes of F’n around, I figured it out. Turn off “Allow Hybrid Sleep” in the advanced power settings [...]

TVU Networks - more media for the "cableless"

Stumbled across TVU Networks last night, http://www.tvunetworks.com/
Its P2P streaming TV, pretty cool actually, but eats up the bandwidth. It has some good channels. CBS (from San Pablo, CA), ABC News, SCI-FI, and others. Just another trick in the bag for people who have “cut the cord”.

Bouncing Souls - Hopeless Romantic

A few years ago I was in a punk band for about 2-3 weeks, and this is one of the songs we learned, after we actually got everyone tuned to the same key.

Really not liking the vocals, should be an octave higher, I didn’t feel like screaming at 4:30 in my apartment though :)

T-Mobile Hotspot and OpenDNS - They Hate Each Other (And how to mend the relationship)

Whenever I go to Starbucks to work, I connect to T-Mobile hotspot, since it is included with my phone plan. Cool right? Well, not really. At home I have Comcast, whose DNS really really sucks. So I used OpenDNS, which rocks, and never has issues.
Thing is, because T-Mobile hotspot uses DNS to verify you and [...]

Cool Blog Trick: Crosspost Wordpress to MSN Spaces

I use MSN Windows Live Messenger as my main IM client, I have most of the people I IM with on there, all my contacts in my mail.live account, it syncs with my T-Mobile Dash running Windows Mobile 6.0, etc. But, as you can see, I am using Wordpress instead of MSN Spaces (Windows Live [...]

Friday the 13th, lookout!

 
Oh oh, its Friday the 13th. Watch for falling piano’s, and black cats, and whatever else you might think of that is superstitious in any way. Or dead guys with machete’s and hockey masks. So far half the day is gone and I haven’t had any bad luck, so I hope that it will continue [...]

Portland Differences #7 - Tater Tots (or is it Tator?)

One thing that I find totally different than Minnesota, is that in Portland, you can get Tater Tots on basically any menu at any bar or restaurant. These things remind me of like 3rd grade lunch hour, they are salty as hell, not good for you in the slightest, yet really good, with ketchup or [...]

Oh! Darlin!

Well, it has been over a week since I picked up my guitar, and I figured it was time to pull it out. Here is the result of that:

Figured too since I am growing the Paul McCartney beard out, I might as well try to sing like him. :)
