  • Lifehacker Pack

    This list of software that is essential to all techies out there.  The software is free and opensource, so it’s a good list to keep on hand.  I’m going to create a page to download the programs I have the right to distribute on here. The list can be found by clicking HERE. If you…

  • Digg & Newsvine

    I’ve posted some syndication pages from Digg and Newsvine.  I like the look of both, but Newsvine is still in the ‘beta’ stage. If you’d like an invite to join Newsvine, just send me an email and I’ll send you an invite. I honestly like Digg a little more, but it’s really about personal preference. …

  • 75 Steps to Becoming Your Own Web Host

    I found a post on digg about a plan to become your own host in 75 easy steps. These Steps, at first I thought would be long and tedious, but it appears that each step is simple. The instructions do not cover security and issues that usually arise later on after the server is running…

  • Build Your Own Tivo

    I wanted to document this site I found on digg.com. Building one yourself can be expensive, but it could definitely save money by not having to pay for a box and service for it.  All of the progression in the programs you can use for a PVR has led to some pretty user friendly and…

  • Theme Switching

    I’ve been playing with switching the theme of this blog.  I’ve gotten tired of it, even though the features of Neuron are my favorite.  I’ll see how I like Blix, and figure it out over time.  I just need a change of scenery for at least a few weeks.

  • New Keyboard – February 1, 2006

    I saw this keyboard months ago, and I didn’t think it would hit the market for years.  It looks like they’ve finally built a stock of them and they’re going on sale next month. The keys have small LED screens in them that let you program them for what you are using the keyboard for. …

  • Continuing Education

    I’ve filled out the forms for FAFSA, and it looks like I qualify for financial aid to return to school.  I should be starting in March.  I’m pretty excited about getting back to getting a degree.  I will start slowly and go for an Associates of Applied Science in General Education. I currently have been…

  • Nano Sold

    I’ve sold my Nano, and I’m waiting for the money to be transferred from paypal to my account so I can purchase my Video iPod. It was pretty exciting, because I got to see people fighting over it.  I believe I put a pretty good package out there for them, got a good deal on…

  • No Cheap Google PC

    Both Wal-Mart & Google have come forward and denied any Cheap Google PC deal.  Usually businesses will only do that to stop hype from getting so high that they lose face when something that would be so great never comes to fruition.  It would be awesome if Google created an OS.  Even better if they…

  • Cheap Google PC

    Well, it looks like Google is looking to sell a cheap PC through Wal-Mart and some other retail companies.  According to this article, it will not have Microsoft Windows on it.  It will have an operating system created by Google.  I hope it doesn’t take Google very long to get this thing out, because it…
