I love my 30gb iPod Video … I really do. The interface is simple and elegant; the hardware is a marvel; its changed how I listen to music, and what I listen to: I don’t listen to radio at all anymore, I listen to podcasts (or when the podcasts run out, music!). So why, why, [...]

A new music player for TiVo: Harmonium
I’ve been using Galleon for a long time (since its JavaHMO roots) to play my music library on my TiVos. Now there’s nothing wrong with it, but development has pretty much come to a complete halt. Enter a new HME music application: Harmonium by Charles Perry. It’s still in early beta (only up to version [...]

WarGames 25th Anniversary
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie “WarGames” it’s showing in select theaters tonight at 7:30pm! You can use the event locator to see if it’s playing near you. Unfortunately I just found out about this today and have prior plans so I can’t go … but I totally would if I could. As [...]
Upcoming hurricanes
Living in Florida, I can really appreciate the latest xkcd comic.
I was “on” Buzz Out Loud! (again)
Last month I had my e-mail about our corporate experience with AT&T’s Enterprise Data Plan and GoodLink read on Buzz Out Loud. Since then I had come across some new information so I sent another message to Tom and Molly and they read it on episode #768 (at the 31:00 mark).
Summer in Florida
Driving home in the pouring rain with sunshine ahead. Summer in Florida … if you don’t like the weather, wait 20 minutes!
That’s a lot of PDAs …
Today I realized that in the past 12 years I’ve owned 4 Palm and 3 Windows Mobile devices: Pilot 1000 (1996) Palm III (1998) Compaq iPAQ 3135 (2001) Compaq iPAQ 3760 (2003) hp iPAQ h1945 (2004) Palm Treo 650 (2005) Palm Treo 680 (2008) That’s a lot of PDAs … boy was I glad once [...]
Blast from the (computing) past
When I was up in Ohio on vacation last week, my mom presented me with a cardboard box she found while cleaning out the basement. Score! The Atari 800XL was my first computer, given to me by my parents as a Christmas present in the early 80s. That, combined with seeing the movie “WarGames“, is [...]
“WALL-E” is great!
We took my daughter to see Disney Pixar’s latest animated feature, WALL-E, tonight, and it was great. For a film with only a few characters and almost no dialog, it tells a story anyone can follow and understand. It’s not as cartoonish or cutesy as Pixar’s previous fare but will still reach out to all [...]
