Congrats Kari Rabe

1 Jun, 2006

Kari Rabe from my hometown of Chatfield Minnesota was on Wheel of Fortune last night and did excellent. I think she went home with about $50,000!!! I know (knew) Kari as I was friends with her brother Luke in high school and I’ve hung out with the whole family. That was a long time ago […]

Parallels – Emulation Done Right

26 May, 2006

I’ve taken Parallels for a test spin and I’m very impressed. VirtualPC was the best emulator around years ago and it still never worked very good. Now, with Parallels, you can run Windows (3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, Me, 2000, NT, XP, 2003), any Linux distribution, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2, eComStation, or MS-DOS while running OS X. […]

My Sharks Mate A Lot

14 May, 2006

It’s true. I started with two sharks and now I’m up to 11! To clarify, I got a great application called Fish. I realized I hadn’t tried it out since I got my sweet new machine. It runs so much better than on my previous machine. Fish is a virtual aquarium. It allows me to […]

I’m no American Idol

2 Apr, 2006

I found out this weekend that I’m not the next American Idol. We rented Karaoke Revolution this weekend and gave it a try. Basically it’s Karaoke only you play it on Xbox (or GameCube or PlayStation). It comes with a Mic and is very cool, except I kept getting booed off the stage. That’s right, […]

BurgerTime – Intellivision Game

15 Feb, 2006

Way back in the day there was a great game called BurgerTime for a video game system called Intellivision. The idea was that you were a cook and had to make burgers. Basically, just run across the ingredients (bun, lettuce & patty) to make them fall down and create a burger. But, be careful of […]

iTunes Billion Song Countdown w/Prizes

7 Feb, 2006

It’s that time again, time when iTunes counts down (or up) to a record. This time it’s for 1 billion legally downloaded songs. Better yet, Apple is giving prizes to at every 100,000th song mark. The lucky downloaders will receive a prize package featuring a black 4GB iPod nano and a $100 iTunes Music Card. […]

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Gold

23 Jan, 2006

We finally got to play RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Gold over the weekend and it’s as addicting as ever. The main downfall in the game is that it’s a system hog. I couldn’t get the Mac version because my computer is no where near what is needed. My wife’s PC was closer and we found out […]

Most Annoying Website

3 Jan, 2006

Stupid web with stupid web pages. Someone created a web puzzle and I can’t figure it out. Is there logic? I have no idea. Is there a pattern? Sure, I mean I think so. If you need something to pass the time and annoy the heck out of you check out http://www.gettoz.com/ It’s annoying, so […]

ecto Features

1 Jan, 2006

This is just an ecto test as I try and figure out a bunch of features. So far, so good. I’m really liking this desktop application and it should only get better!!! Let’s see, what can we do. Amazon Linkage: “Gamecube – Mario Party 7” (Nintendo) Wow, that’ was easy. How about some font’s and […]

Back to Work Everyone!

Well now that Christmas is over, it’s back to work. I hope everyone had a great holiday and just think, soon we’ll get another day off for New Years!! I know Christmas isn’t about presents, but a big thank you goes out to my family for all the great stuff I got. Yes, I think […]
