Boom Here In 1908. Boom There In 2008?
[December 21, 2007]

Woo Hoo! Guess Who Bricked His Router?!?
[November 6, 2007]
I was dinking around with something that needed no dinking around with, and I turned my wireless router into a paperweight. And that's awesome since paperweights are so damn expensive these days.

Here Kitty Kitty Kitty!

Yes, of course I named my new Mac, and yes, of course the name is brutally obvious.

The Ridiculous Ease of Backuping A Mac
[September 18, 2007]
All of my music! All of my photos! All of my notes! And letters! And... And... And... ...oh GOD. All of my work. Past, present and future projects in progress. Gone.

iCrapped MyPants: The Sequel

I don't normally do technology reviews and how-tos here, but I just spent two hours doing something that should have only taken a few minutes.

Here's how I got mine up and running...

Hey Jimmy, Do You Like Candy?
[March 24, 2006]
