New Cell Phone
I would like a new cell phone. I don't really need a new one, but I've had my Razr for two years and it's time to upgrade. I can get a new phone with a discount from Verizon at the end of this month,...

It Just (doesn't) Work(s)
Let me start this post by saying I love my MacBook. I use it every single day and am not disappointed in my purchase in the least. In fact, unless the next Windows blows me away (or the current versio...
Quick Launch with Launchy
Ever since I got my MacBook I've fallen in love with the Quicksilver feature of typing control and space then typing the first few letters of the application I want to launch to launch it. This keeps...
Why Dell Sucks, Part 2
So, Dell finally called me back Friday night. That's three days after they were supposed to call. Three days after they said they would call. Guess what the outcome was? Well, the "tech" told me to do...
Dell's Customer Service Sucks
I've been happy with my two computer and one mp3 player (1st gen Dell Jukebox from a long time ago) purchases from Dell. I've never had a problem with any of their products. I've never had to contact...
Backing Up With SyncToy
Not long ago I bought a 500 GB usb external hard drive. I wanted to keep backups of all my documents, music, and pictures on it. I partitioned it so I could also back up my MacBook using Time Machine....
Disappointing Macworld
I am by no means an Apple fanboy. I only have one Apple product, and that's my MacBook. I will say that since I've gotten my MacBook, I now think all my future computer purchases will be Macs and not...
Moving to the Desktop
There is something I don't quite understand. Maybe someone can explain it to me. A few months ago Google gave IMAP support to Gmail. Everyone was happy to have this sought-after feature enabled finall...
Going on a Safari
More and more I find myself browsing the net using Safari. I used to loathe Safari, and on Windows I still do, but it's starting to grow on me a bit on the MacBook. On several Windows systems I found...
Super Mario Galaxy
I bought Super Mario Galaxy on Friday and I must say, this game is fun! I am Nintendo's target demographic for the Wii. I am a casual gamer in every sense of the word. While I appreciate complex games...
Charter Really Sucks
I'm really fed up with Charter Communications. I've heard the horror stories of Comcast and even my experiences with Mediacom haven't been that great, but Charter really gets under my skin. The past f...
Software Suggestions
So, I have my new MacBook, and one thing I notice about Apple users is they are just as passionate about the apps they use as they are about using Apple products. What's funny is they will argue over...
Quick Thoughts
On the second day of my four-day weekend, I thought I'd update my blog a bit. After all, a break from work doesn't mean a break from blogging, right? Since I've been off, nothing much has really happe...
My Mac
After looking at Leopard, watching the videos, looking at the features, and taking a trip to the Apple Store for some hands-on experience, I bought a MacBook. I really enjoyed playing around at the Ap...
Gmail and IMAP
Ever since I got my first Gmail account a couple years ago, I wished it had IMAP support. As many probably know, Gmail has recently enabled IMAP on accounts. My account still doesn't have it enabled,...
I Need a New Host
For reasons I won't discuss here I am searching for a new host. I don't need crazy amount of space and/or bandwidth that many budget hosts oversell. I would like around 10gb space and 25-50 gb of band...
My Masters Degree
I don't plan on starting any time soon. I won't start until I can afford to start, which means once I get a full-time teaching position with a school. I've been thinking of what I want to get my degre...
Welcome Back
I knew I couldn’t stay away for long. It was only a matter of time before I came back to you. What am I talking about? Ubuntu on my laptop. After spending a couple weeks back on WIndows XP on my lapto...
So Long, Farewell, But Not Goodbye
It's been a great run Ubuntu. You were there when I needed a fast OS for an old laptop. I have to leave you now. I'm sorry, I wish I didn't have to, but it's for the best right now. Please forgive me....
MyxerTones Idiocy
The other day I received some crappy radio rap song on my phone. I didn't order it or request it off the internet, my phone, or those annoying commercials on TV. The song came from a website called My...
