It may be a while (if ever) before I get a Palm Pre, especially since Sprint has it exclusively for 2009. However, I don’t have to wait for the webOS experience. TealPoint software has released TealOS, an amazing piece of programming that duplicates the look-and-feel of webOS on the current Palm handhelds. Here’s a screenshot [...]

Fire up the (new) grill!
We got our very first gas grill as a wedding shower gift over 12 years ago and it served us extremely well. As part of our backyard renovation project that we started last fall (and is almost done!) we decided to finally get a new one. After shopping around and doing some research, I chose [...]
The DTV switchover in hurricane country
So the original February 17th deadline for the digital TV switchover has come and gone but only a handful of stations have shut off their analog signals thanks to the DTV Delay Act. Is everyone confused yet? One thing I don’t think a lot of people here in hurricane country have thought of (even myself, [...]
WIJFR: Martin the Warrior
Badrang the Stoat has his evil eyes set on ruling over his own empire, and will do anything to make sure that his ultimate fantasy is fulfilled. But little does he realize that the quiet, nameless mouse he is holding captive will one day turn out to be the heroic and fearless Martin the Warrior. [...]
Sony’s latest gadget (not really)
Not safe for work, but pretty frickin’ hilarious. Really sums up the current state of the consumer electronics industry, doesn’t it?
The age of the personal “home” page …

These days a person’s presence on the ‘net is usually defined by a social networking profile (like Facebook, MySpace, or LinkedIn), maybe a personal blog (like this one), or a Twitter feed. Gone are the days when people crafted their own home pages, hosted by their ISPs (or places [...]
PalmOS is dead … long live PalmOS!
I bought my very first PalmOS device (the Pilot 1000 by USRobotics) back in 1996 from an Elek-Tek in Castleton, Indiana … a total impulse buy. It only took me a few weeks to master Graffiti (I remember I actually started using Graffiti characters in my normal handwriting). I took a few shots at writing [...]

This is some good ol’ Unix nerdliness that really makes me smile: 1234567890 Day.
GPS map “update”
So I broke down last night and purchased the latest map update for my Garmin StreetPilot c340. After downloading the 2gb file and running into a few setup issues, I finally got it installed on the GPS. This morning, I fired the unit up on my way to work, as I am wont to do [...]
Brrrrr!
I woke up this morning and it was 38 degrees outside here in central Florida! It’s not even going to break 50 today. This is one of the coldest winters I remember since we moved down here in 2001. Yeah, okay, this is nothing compared to what’s going on up north and in the midwest, [...]
