More Stats from the P-2000

Friday, 29 October 2004 12:11 P GMT-05
  I just got some additional info from Epson about the P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer (AKA PhotoFine). I’ve written before about the P-2000, which to me looks like one of the best Personal Media Players out there because it not only cat

Twelve Black Code Monkeys gets a Name

Friday, 29 October 2004 9:02 A GMT-05
A Domain Name, that is!  Yes, I’ve finally decided to get my own domain name for this weblog.  I figured it was time.  I’m being syndicated by DU Project, developing relationships with companies as media entity, even getting linked to by some

More Treo 650 thoughts

Tuesday, 26 October 2004 10:14 A GMT-05
The dust has settled a bit with announcements about the new Treo 650.  We’ve gotten a much clearer picture as to what the phone will have and what it won’t.  I thought it might be useful for those who already have a Treo 600 or a similar device

Monday, 25 October 2004 10:30 A GMT-05
There’s a whole lot of buzz going on about the newly unveiled Treo 650.  Unfortunately a fair about of it is actually a bit on the negative side.  This is part of the problem with having lots of leaks getting out which at most match but in some c

I've been having a bit of difficulty with my RSS feed within the last several days. Bloglines is giving me the [!] error which means there's either a problem with the xml file or it can't find it, but when I go to the address, it comes up immediatel

Fuji S3 Even Cheaper than Expected

Friday, 22 October 2004 9:49 A GMT-05
Well, maybe I should say "less expensive" huh?  The Fuji S3 Pro, Fuji's top-of-the-line digital SLR announced last month and due to come out in November, is apparently going to be priced at $2,499.  This is at least $500 cheaper than

The Curse of Time

Wednesday, 20 October 2004 2:36 P GMT-05
It recently occurred to me how much time has become a factor in all things technological.  It’s a bit obvious, given the fact that speed is something that has been constantly sought after with everything from transportation to computers.  When pe

The Biggest Loser

Wednesday, 20 October 2004 10:49 A GMT-05
I thought I’d write a bit about this new NBC “reality show” called “The Biggest Loser.” The show premiered last night and I just had to watch it, due to my interest in health and weight loss as well as a grudging fascination with the realit

Tuesday, 19 October 2004 1:20 P GMT-05
Ok, I think I figured out the problem with the site. It wasn’t Blog City as I previously thought, but rather the Google Adsense ads I have on my pages. I’ve tried going to other sites that have them and things are seriously sluggish. I can’t

Over at Treonauts, there’s been a new sighting of the upcoming Treo 650, this time by someone who replaced the “600” in an address on PalmOne’s website with “650” and came up with a page that is “waiting in the wings” so to speak for

Color Balance

Last weekend me and my wife were in and around St. Michaels, MD for our first anniversary.  Being avid shutter bugs, of course, we took a lot of gear with us and I got a chance to get a real working out of my new Nikon D70 digital SLR.  Here are a

I Heart Firefox

Friday, 15 October 2004 10:42 A GMT-05
I needed to take a minutes to profess my love for this "new" browser, called Firefox.  It's actually the distant relative of the original Mozilla before it was made into Netscape and commercialized.  The Mozilla browser did stay around an

Well, just when I thought I knew the major new wireless protocols that will be coming to market in the next few years, a direct successor to the current 802.11b and 802.11g somehow got by me.  802.11n is the next in the series and it will apparently
