Backblaze continues to backup my computer.

22 Oct, 2011

It’s been nearly three years since I signed up for Backblaze and it’s been backing up my computer ever since. I have it set to back up once a day and it currently has backed up 112,452 files at 82,287 MB. That’s over 80 Gigs! All this for less than $5 a month. Luckily I […]

Anyone have Game Genie cheat codes for Angry Birds?

13 Oct, 2011

Ok. I think I’ve figured out how to beat Angry Birds. I just need to find some cheat codes for the Game Genie. What? This is how I beat all the video games when I was a kid.

Thanks for the memories Steve.

5 Oct, 2011

Thank you Steve Jobs for changing our world. For looking at a device and taking it to the next level. For not being afraid to be different. For being the little fish in the big pond and showing us that anything is possible. Your life may have been cut short, but you’ve left a great […]

My parents should be so proud of me because I’m addicted to the internet, not drugs.

5 Aug, 2011

Dear Mom and Dad and the D.A.R.E. people, I listened. I’m not addicted to drugs, instead I’m addicted to the internet. I’m not wasting all my money on meth and crack and things like that. Though I do spend money on hosting, Flickr Pro, online backup and Amazon. Not to mention all the apps and […]

Lion. Why you no like my computer?

21 Jul, 2011

Sad Cat

It’s sad but it’s true, Lion won’t work on my iMac. It’s one of the first generation Intel iMacs and it didn’t make the cut. Ohh well. I can still put it on my work computer so at least I’ll be able to play with it. And I can still get backwards scrolling if I want […]

The fastest browser on my Mac is Firefox 5.

3 Jul, 2011

I tested four browsers with the SunSpider tests and it turns out that Firefox 5 was faster than Chrome, Safari and Opera. This was quite surprising to me as it beat out Chrome but quite a bit. It’s also interesting how far behind Safari is. Opera 10.5 – 534.0ms +/- 1.4% Chrome 12 – 524.6ms […]

Turn your iPad or iPhone into a weather radio.

17 Jun, 2011

I’ve been looking to get a new weather radio and I found a really good, and cheap, one that happens to be an iOS app. NOAA Weather Radio is an iPhone and iPad app that lets you listen to over 160 weather radio stations from all around the country and even a few in Canada. […]

Google Music vs Amazon Cloud Player – A quick review.

3 Jun, 2011

I’ve been testing out both Google Music and Amazon Cloud Player and have to say that they are both nice services. Below are my pros and cons of each service after some initial testing. Price: Google Music – Free (for now) Amazon Cloud Player – First 5 gigs are free, after that it’ll cost. Tip Uploading: Google […]

Life on just the iPad doesn’t work for me.

13 Apr, 2011

Well I made it though a week without my iMac. How did I do? Well…. not so good. I was doing fine for a few days. Granted it helped that Lily was sick and I had to sleep with her a few nights and that took away from my computer time. However I found it […]
