Gizmodo Effect

Friday, 30 July 2004 2:04 P GMT-05
I’ve heard of the Slashdot effect.  I’m not sure if it still exists, but I remember a coworker of mine mentioning this way back maybe 5 years ago.  Apparently people who were mentioned on Slashdot.org with a link to their site often experienced

Late Thirties

Well, it appears Wil Wheaton's birthday is the day before mine, although he's also four years younger.  I will be turning 36 on Friday, and while I haven't really enjoyed getting older since turning 25 or so, now that I have a wife and a house and m

Me and my wife were at the mall this weekend and stopped by the Apple Store as she needed a case for the iPod Mini that I had bought for her in April but which didn’t actually arrive until last week!  While there I saw the the new 4G iPods and

Early to Bed, Early to Rise…

Thursday, 22 July 2004 8:18 A GMT-05
One of my earliest memories, although I may be mixing a few together, is of me and my mom taking a walk early in the morning in Kismet on Fire Island.  I must have been only four or five.  We end up having breakfast on the rooftop dining area of th

iPod, The Next Generation ©

Monday, 19 July 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
Well, a new generation of iPods has just been announced.  Looks like they are not the revolutionary changes that some people were hoping for, including color screens, support for playing video files, larger storage capacity, greatly decreased size,

Nikon D70

Sunday, 18 July 2004 8:02 P GMT-05
Wouldn’t you know it, just as I am starting to get a handle on my new Treo 600, my wife goes and buys me a new digital camera!  Well, part of one anyway.  It's the Nikon D70, and I've been lusting after it for a while now!  I’ve previously ram

T-Mobile Sidekick Vs. Handspring/PalmOne Treo 600

Tuesday, 13 July 2004 11:59 P GMT-05
Many of you have read about my love-hate relationship with T-Mobile’s Sidekick and its lack Outlook synch capability.  Almost a year ago I had gotten tired of waiting for the ability to synch my contacts, calendar, and task list with my Outlook d

We went to NYC for the 4th of July this year again.  I’m not sure if it was because of fear of some terrorist incident or more people taking advantage of the extra day to take vacation, but the city was pretty empty, or at least the traffic was no

I only recently discovered Wil Wheaton’s blog, and although I haven’t read every entry since, I have read a good number.  He’s a good writer, but I’m not always in the mood for his sometimes very sentimental stuff about his family.  Neverth

Back in Business

Monday, 12 July 2004 9:35 A GMT-05
Today I come to work and for the heck of it try to check to see if I can access Blog City and wouldn't you know it, I can get to it again, along with my exchange host.  No one knows why I couldn't get to it earlier, the network folks denied any resp

Network problems

Tuesday, 6 July 2004 4:53 P GMT-05
Well, last week my access to my exchange host (read email) was cut.  Today I came to work and found I couldn't even get access to my blog!  I work on an army base and they often clamp down on security stuff for no good reason.  I talked to the net
