    I just finished putting together a quick video tutorial on how to create ringtones using GarageBand on a Mac. This is my second tutorial I have done so far.

    Embedded Firewall

    Embedded Firewall

    In part of my quest to simplify my life I moved away from Windows workstations and servers to Macs. With the number of systems that were removed it had a large impact on the acoustics of the room as well as power consumption. I still had one relic left behind and that was a firewall [...]

    Mac Convert

    Mac Convert

    It is official I have completely transitioned myself away from Microsoft (Personally). I think Vista was the final nail in the coffin for me. Back in September before my Vegas trip I purchased a Mac Book Pro, under the assumption I would run both OSX and Windows on the notebook. I found myself more and [...]

    HD-DVD Is Dead!

    HD-DVD is dead, so says Netflix! I received this in my email today. It seems that Netflix has declared Blu-ray the winner in the format war. It doesn’t mean much to me since I have both players. In my humble opinion I always saw HD-DVD as the superior format as to what it had to [...]

    Microsoft Buys Sidekick Maker

    Microsoft Absorbs Sidekick Maker Danger Inc. [Cellphones]: ”
    Out of left field, Microsoft has bought Danger Inc.—best-known as the Hiptop/Sidekick’s daddy—for an undisclosed hunk of cash. Fear not, Sidekick fans, it’ll be business as usual on that front.

    Setting up a number of MacBook Airs that arrived today. After holding one of these I can say it is way cooler than any commercial can display. Well off I go to load on the VPN software needed to connect these to the corporate LAN and hand them out.

    Just Great

    Well, I quickly grabbed a iPhone once it was hackable to allow other networks to operate on it beside AT&T.  I have several phones on my plan with T-Mobile and I was not about to get another carrier just for one phone. I would assume Apple is seeing a surge in iPhone sales after the [...]

    Finally

    It took some time for me to get this long overdue post out. The move went smooth and the servers are now sitting in their new home and new cabinets. There were a million little things that needed to get worked out and that chewed up a lot of my time over the next couple [...]

    Xbox Live: “You Want What? That’s funny!”

    I purchased G.R.A.W 2 (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2) for the Xbox 360 the day it was released. I have played it just about daily since buying it. This time around I decided I would only play ranked multiplayer matches. I never really did on the first version that came out for the 360. When [...]
