2 Kinds of People

by

There are 2 kinds of people in the world, those to love Monty Python humor, and those that despise it. I am in the former, with both feet. I’ve watched The Holy Grail so many times I can almost quote the moose credits… On a similar vein — have you seen Fawlty Towers? Absolutely hilarious, and definitely some of the … Read more

by

Following my review of the Penguin Pooper, Carlie Fairchild, the publisher over at Linux Journal, started a review contest. The first 20 people submitting video reviews of their geeky gifts get free T-Shirts. But even more than that, the bragging rights that go along with such a contest. Go quickly!

New Video, and a Request

by

If you’re willing to watch my latest review below (Here’s a link to all of them to date), please do so. Then I have a couple questions… Most of the folks reading my blog are intelligent people. Although varying in tech skills, I value everyones thoughts. Regarding the video reviews for Linux Journal: 1) Should I record reviews of things … Read more

Now, on REAL TV

by

In some more “pretty cool” stuff in my life, I just got confirmation that I’ll be a guest caller on, The Lab with Leo LaPorte, which I think is on G4 Tech TV.

And here’s the direct links for those who can’t … Read more

Unsolicited Leopard Review

by

I keep reading reviews about how great OSX 10.5 is, and how much I should praise Steve that I have such an OS. Like in my pre-release review, I’m still less that excited. Here’s a list of 7 things that frustrate me about Leopard: 1) Time machine, it all it’s awesome splendor, is pointless for me. Sure, I could repartition … Read more

Meow Point Five

by

This is just a quick post regarding Apple OSX version 10.5, or “Leopard.” I’m not terribly impressed. No, it’s not out in retail yet, but it’s awful close. Maybe it will grow on me, but now I’m just more annoyed at the changes than I am impressed by them. I can’t say much more, or Apple might sue me — … Read more
