iTunes 7 Erased my iPod

  • 12 Sep, 2006

Really, it was all my fault, but Apple could do a bit better job at warning a guy. I was playing around with the new iTunes 7 when I came across my iPod stats. Pretty nifty. I clicked on the Music tab and decided to sync a playlist. My wife hates it when she downloads […]

Technology is Bitter Sweet

  • 8 Sep, 2006

Ahh it’s a bitter sweet time. A few days ago Apple announced all new iMacs with twice the processor speed at a lower price. Now, I love my iMac, but it’s always hard to see the new machines arrive just months after I got mine. Being in the forefront of technology is next to impossible […]

Who says adults can’t have fun toys?

  • 5 Sep, 2006

I’m a believer that just because you get older, doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the basics in life. Believe it or not, if you go down the toy aisle at the store, you’ll find something that is a heck of a lot of fun! We recently got an electric powered race track and it’s […]

Mac User Installs XP

  • 28 Aug, 2006

I’ve just finished installing Windows XP Home (Service Pack 2) and it was quite the process. I’m so happy to be a Mac user. 🙂 It started off just trying to figure out how to boot off the CD. Mac OS install CDs say right on them, to startup off the CD hold down the […]

Flock Dock Desktop Picture

  • 22 Aug, 2006

Check out the new Flock Dock desktop picture. It’s my way of spreading the word of Flock and adding to the Flock community. The idea behind the desktop picture is to be clean and easy on the eyes. It also has a gray area at the bottom for those of you running a Mac and […]

The Joy of Two Shoes

  • 19 Aug, 2006

This weekend marks the first time since May that my wife has been able to wear two shoes!  How exciting is that.  Her ankle is not fully healed yet, however she’s now starting to walk on it and doing great.  No crutches no boot.  We also went for a short drive and she did excellent! […]

Now Using OpenDNS

  • 18 Aug, 2006

I’m not sure why, but I bought into the hype. OpenDNS is a free service that claims to make the internet better. It’s safer as it warns against phishing attacks, supposedly speeds up my connection and is smarter about a few domain typos. It’s quick and easy to setup as long as you have access […]

Parallels + Ubuntu = Kernel Panic

  • 15 Aug, 2006

I don’t know how people do it, but I’ve tried to install Ubuntu (Linux) over a dozen times in Paralles and it doesn’t work. The last time, my iMac ended up with a kernel panic. I have downloaded Ubuntu 6.06 (99% sure it is the right version), I upgraded my memory so now I have […]
