Well I just heard the rumors this morning that Google and Sun were working together to make an Office application; Word, Excel and so fourth. I found it hard to believe, but CNet is reporting that it’s true! Under terms of the widely expected announcement, the companies will cooperate to make it easier for consumers […]

A New Day for Disney

  • 3 Oct, 2005

Today begins a new day at Disney. Robert Iger takes over for Michael Eisner as CEO. Michael Eisner has been under great criticism for the way he has dealt with the company in the past years. From sequels to over promotion and the end of hand drawn cartoon movies, I think that Eisner was focused […]

CoverFlow – Interactive Cover Art App

  • 30 Sep, 2005

Thanks to All Forces for pointing out a great little application called CoverFlow. It works with iTunes to organize a searchable database of your music’s covers.

Best Practical iPod Accessory

  • 30 Sep, 2005

Have you heard of the Griffin SmartDeck? It’s quite possibly the best iPod accessory that is also very practical and reasonably priced. For just $30 you get a cassette adapter that listens to your radio and tells the iPod what to do! You can control the volume and playback of the iPod. Use the cassette […]

I hate plumbing.

  • 29 Sep, 2005

Yep it’s true. A quick replacement of the drain has turned into a replacement of much more. However that’s all fine and good and almost done! Just a small leak left and I have no idea how to stop it. It’s down on that U thing as it’s going up and joining to the next […]

Chilly Willie

Well it sure was chilly this morning. I believe there was scattered frost and it was like 60 in the house. That doesn’t sound cold but it is. Outside was like 35. Now I’m a fan of fall, but it’s still cold. Our first night in the 30s in months. Soon it’ll be October and […]

Tub Drain 19. Me 1.

  • 28 Sep, 2005

Well I’ve been trying and trying to remove the drain from our bath tub as I need to put in a better one that works without using pliers. It took me quite a few tries (days) but I got it out tonight! They made no tool to get the drain out so I improvised with […]

Google Video Goes Flash

  • 26 Sep, 2005

Finally, Google Video has gone Flash! No more downloading the Google Video player (PC only) or worrying about the video being in windows media format, or avi, or mpg, or real or whatever. Now it should all be in Flash and it should just work. Granted the downside is that the quality is probably less […]
