After using Microsoft Money for almost 14 years, last January I started using mint.com to keep track of our personal finances. I wasn’t looking to move my money management into the cloud but was forced to when Microsoft decided to discontinue the online banking portion of Money in February 2010. That pretty much forced me [...]

Those birds … they’re so angry!
I have been hooked on Angry Birds since I first played the lite version on my iPhone back in April (and then immediately purchased the full version). I started over from scratch when I bought the HD version for my iPad in October. The other week I finally completed all of the released levels with [...]
Apple iPad
About a month ago I got a 16gb (Wi-Fi only) Apple iPad from work so I’ve had about 30 days to mess around with Apple’s “magical” tablet. If I had to sum the iPad up in one word? Slick. I’m not going to bother with the specs, or a general overview of the iPad here. It’s [...]
10-10-10
October 10, 2010 – 10/10/10 In addition to my little sister celebrating her 30th birthday (10 + 10 + 10 = 30, much cooler than my binary birthdays!) lots of other stuff is going on today, mainly: the answer to life, the universe, and everything! the new GreenPois0n jailbreak for iOS 4.1 was supposed to [...]
Syncing podcasts without iTunes
Last month I purchased Podcaster for my iPhone (thanks to this thread over on the TiVo Community Forum) and have now been using it for a few weeks. Podcaster was originally rejected by Apple back in 2008 so the developer put the app on Cydia instead for jailbroken phones. Then in 2009, a slightly stripped [...]
Heading to Disney for Labor Day
It’s Labor Day Weekend which means summer is over, school has started, and it’s time for our annual family vacation weekend at Disney World.
Foscam FI8904W outdoor internet camera
I’ve been pleased so far with my in-house internet cameras and decided I’d like to be able to keep tabs on the outside of the house as well. TrendNet sells weatherproof enclosures for their cameras but they won’t work with the night-vision models because the IR just reflects off of the glass. I started looking [...]
Jailbreaking my iPhone
I couldn’t resist any longer: the recent exceptions added to the DMCA for jailbreaking allowed for the return of jailbreakme.com, the easiest way yet to jailbreak your iPhone. Just about every podcast I listen to/watch had talked about this and demoed it live so I figured what the heck? I made a full backup of [...]
iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS
I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 when it first came out two weeks ago and since then have been running into small annoyances/bugs.
TrendNet internet cameras
Another piece of tech I implemented before we went on our vacation roadtrip was a series of TrendNet wireless internet cameras so we could keep an eye on the house while we were away.
