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, […]

Addicted to the Web 2.0

  • 30 Mar, 2006

It’s true, I’m addicted to the Web 2.0. From social bookmarking sites to online word processors and web software that just works, there is no end in site to what I can accomplish online! What is the Web 2.0? Well, it’s the idea of sharing information and having web sites act more like applications and […]

Replacing a Powerbook Hard Drive

  • 27 Mar, 2006

The new hard drive for our Powerbook 667 arrived Saturday along with a few special tools. In no time I had the Powerbook back up and running. It wasn’t that hard actually. Especially after watching one of Other World Computing’s videos. I just had to remove a few screws (with a special Torx Screwdriver) and […]

Style Mozilla Lightning

  • 23 Mar, 2006

I was excited to hear about Mozilla’s latest extension called Lightning. It is a calendar extension that is nicely integrated into Thunderbird. Granted this is version 0.1, and there are a lot of bugs, but it is quite nice. A great start to a much needed Thunderbird addon. One thing that bugged me though was […]

Mint : It’s like Firefox for Stats

  • 15 Mar, 2006

No, Mint isn’t another new offering from Mozilla, but rather well designed stats package for your website. Not only does it look good, it’s also very easy to use and extendable! Mint costs $30 and you install it your webserver. It’s PHP based and requires a database but it’s really simple to setup and use. […]

iRows : Web Based Spreadsheets

  • 13 Mar, 2006

I searched for a web based Microsoft Excel today and I found iRows. All the basics, none of the bloat or cost!! Today was a snow day and I was told not to come into work but rather work from home. Great idea except I treat my home computer differently than my work computer. For […]

Pixoh: Image Editing Online

  • 9 Mar, 2006

I was going to talk about box.net online storage today as a cool web service, but Pixoh image editing is so much cooler! Pixoh allows a user to upload a photo, or grab it from the web, and edit it online. Currently you can crop, resize and rotate. Then, when you are done, you can […]

iMac First Impressions

  • 7 Mar, 2006

It’s been a few days and I’ve had a little time to play. Overall I’m very happy with my new iMac. It’s so sweet. New features that I acquired: iSight Web Cam Mighty Mouse DVD Burner Bluetooth Front Row (with remote) All iLife 06 Applications and so much power! I’ve only just began to play […]

Proteus IM is now Free.

  • 27 Feb, 2006

Proteus instant messenger has has gone from a paid application to a free application. Proteus can connect to almost any IM service such as Yahoo, Google and MSN. It’s a great idea and this was a cool program a few years ago. That was until I found Adium. Adium does the same thing only it’s […]

iPox for Thunderbird?

  • 24 Feb, 2006

One of my biggest requests is iPox for Thunderbird. Where it’s a great idea, I’m not working on it. The time it takes to create a good theme is more that I have available. I like to think that I’ve done well with iPox so far, but there are still many issues to fix. With […]
