MySpace Phenomenon

  • 18 Feb, 2006

I was watching the local morning news and they were talking about how popular MySpace has become.  To me, I don’t really get it. I have tried MySpace and I didn’t feel it was easy to use or that great.  But, then again, maybe I’m just use to the way other sites work as I’ve […]

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 […]

Butler IS Mac Productivity

  • 9 Feb, 2006

I’ve had Butler on my machine at work for a while but I really haven’t started using it until about a month ago and am I ever impressed. It has brought a whole new level of productivity to my day and I’m still learning the ins and outs. Here is a screen shot of my […]

InLine Spell Check for Firefox

  • 3 Feb, 2006

It’s true, there is support for inline spell check in Firefox! When I upgraded Firefox yesterday my SpellBound didn’t work so I did a little searching and found the developers preview of SpellBound. Not only did it work in Firefox 1.5.0.1 but it came with a new feature; inline spell check! Now, just like Thunderbird, […]

Mozilla SeaMonkey 1 Review

  • 1 Feb, 2006

I’ve downloaded Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0 and I’m using it right now.  I was all excited as I thought SeaMonkey would be Firefox+Thunderbird+Nvu all rolled into one.  Not Quite. First off, SeaMonkey has an identity crisis on it’s hands.  I started it up and it felt like 1997 with Netscape 4.7.  Seriously people, either make a […]

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 […]

Heated Car Seat Covers

  • 19 Jan, 2006

I have to tell you, I didn’t think I’d get heated seats until I got a new car. However, for Christmas I got heated car seat covers. Heated seats without getting a new car! These things are wonderful. I just hop in in the morning, plug in the power to the cigarette lighter and before […]

Microsoft Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

  • 12 Jan, 2006

For the past two days I’ve been testing out a wireless Microsoft keyboard and mouse. So far, my feelings are pretty positive. Now I’m not a huge Microsoft fan, actually I tend to avoid them like the plague, but this keyboard and mouse was just sitting there, looking all sad like with all it’s buttons. […]
