    And so it begins. After much persuasion from my friends and family, I type this update from my brand new Samsung Galaxy Nexus. That’s right. I got a smartphone. I can’t really say that I feel smart though. I picked it up during my lunch break on Monday. I walked in with the intention of…

    High Definition is an understatement of what this camera is capable of achieving. It has taken nearly six months to get this camera, but I expect the results to be well worth it. I charged it up last night and hope to experiment with some of the myriad features some night this week. I combed…

    I spent all of my Friday night struggling to get Domain Mapping to work so I thought I would put together a little tutorial to help others since my setup seemed unique. If not unique, not well documented! Here’s what I have: Domain name pointed to the DNS servers of my host CPanel to manage…

    Well I got lots of packages and mail recently and my new Cross Ion Lunar Gray pen was included. Unfortunately, I had ordered two and there was only one in the package, yet 2 on the invoice. I’ve sent an email to the amazon reseller to try and get my second pen or a refund.…

    Ubiquity for Firefox from Aza Raskin on Vimeo. Mozilla recently revealed an add-on for Firefox called Ubiquity. Basically it serves as a command line for your browser. The catch is that most of the commands are created by users and creating commands is very simple. This allows people to flex their creative muscle and take…

    See Part 1 for the backstory. The lines have come back. Apparently the appear when I do not use my flash. Pictures look fine with the flash on, but horrible with it off. For now, I have switched back to the old camera. It still takes good pictures, just not as high a resolution. I…

    I have finally taken that large leap that I’ve been saying I wanted to take for quite a long time. No, I have not quit my job to live off the fat of the land…yet. I installed Linux on my laptop! I know, not quite the huge leap you were expecting. More like the thing…

    Take a look at the picture from my previous post. Notice anything funny? If you can take your eyes away from those delicious cookies, you’ll note a strange line running across the bottom left side of the photo. I didn’t notice it until this afternoon.

    After some careful consideration, I decided I needed a new digital camera. I have a wonderful camera right now, but its just too bulky and too big to tote around at the conventions. I need to have a camera that can be taken out quickly and be ready to snap photos right away and I…

    I recently got a Nintendo DS for my birthday. I have to say I really have not put it down since I got it. I say this entirely due to one game. New Super Mario Bros. I haven’t actually enjoyed playing a game this much since…well I can’t ever remember enjoying a game this much.…
