The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is finally on the AT&T network so I have made the jump from the iPhone to an Android device. It’s been quite an adjustment to go from the Apple worlds where iTunes does everything for you and Apple’s design rules ensure that most apps look and behave in a similar […]

Loading up an ASUS 1215N
The ASUS 1215 came out of the box with Windows 7 premium home edition. The nice thing that ASUS does is partition the drive into two drives. There’s a 100G C:\ drive and the rest of the drive is in a separate D:\ drive. This makes loading Linux extremely easy. The D:\ drive can be […]

Making the switch… back to Linux/Windows
I’ve been a long time Mac fan. I made the switch back in 1996 and was even more hooked after the move to Unix as the core of Mac OS in 2000. I have had an Apple laptop as my primary work machine since the G3 Pismo model. I’ve been working more and more with […]

Twitter updates off
I’ve decided to turn off the automatic twitter updates. 1) It creates a lot of small posts that clutter up the site and B) All that info is available on my twitter feed already.

Targeting gaming sites to combat political apathy
I saw a tweet last night suggesting that some of the cyber attacks on game systems (Eve, WoW, Sony’s SOE, etc.) may be an effort to combat political apathy. While this is an interesting theory and I can see that members of the hacktivist groups might think that if they turn off games that users […]
WWDC 2011, not so exciting after all
Apple’s WWDC keynote gave Steve Job’s the opportunity to show off the new MacOS X, the new iOS and the iCloud service, none of which seem to be all that exciting. I was left with more questions than answers after the show. Here’s just a few of them: If Lion is a download only install […]
