After much hype Apple announced the iPad, a tablet PC that looks like a large iPod Touch. At first glance I was not impressed with the product since it looked like a big iPod Touch. After watching the videos on the Apple website I am much more excited about the product. Aside from its horrible [...]

Ever since I joined the Cult Of Mac I have been actively migrating all of the applications I use from Windows to Mac. However, there were a couple of applications I had to have, but could not find Mac alternatives. One of those applications is Picasa the absolute best photo management software there is. It wasn’t [...]

With all the attention Twitter has gotten with celebrities like Ashton Kutcher and Oprah signing on some might say it has gone mainstream. I say it went mainstream this morning when I found references to it in two of my newspaper comics. Zits and B.C. both had Twitter references in their strip today which surprised [...]

So if you happen to see my website the last couple of days it was DOWN! I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 using my hoster’s one-click install and I was getting:
Warning: array_key_exists(): The first argument should be either a string or an integer in /somepath/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 176
What was funny was that when I went [...]

I had to share a couple of cool techno experiences from tonight.
My wife called because she wanted to make sure I got something she emailed from our laptop. Well, no go, and I am not sure why. She needed to get a document to someone and is concerned that the email didn’t get to them [...]

As you can see (or maybe not if you use bloglines) I am changing themes. This theme is only temporary until I can get my theme up and running. Yes, that’s right I am going to attempt web design. Stand back, you don’t want to get hurt in the process.

It’s days away from the release of Microsoft’s long awaited new operating system called Vista. There has been a lot of talk about it on the Internet primarily because Microsoft did something unprecedented by releasing early test versions called beta releases. As the release date [...]

I found my main computer the other day loaded up with Windows Media Player 11. I was surprised since I had not installed that version on to my computer. I have a rule you see that no one installs software on household computers without asking the sysadmin, me. I found the culprit and he has [...]

Do you back up your files? If so, where?
For the longest time I did nothing. I mean nothing, no backups of any kind. Seems kind of foolish considering how I have watched other folks around me lose important data. I am an IT worker so really, I should know the importance of it. Really until [...]

Where do you listen to your music?
I am not talking about the radio, I am talking about the music you plunked your hard-earned cash down for. Do you listen to it in your car, at work, at your home computer? My family seems to listen to their music everywhere! My sons who have flash MP3 [...]

How do you store and manage your music?
This question came to my mind the other day reading Larry’s post about his top 20 listened to albums. I know Larry has a Mac and an iPod which probably makes his music management and music syncing fairly simple. However, my environment is a bit of a [...]

Being a gamer at heart I thought the last two PvPonline comic strip entries were pretty hilarious. The teenage Francis is trying to get everyone at PvP Online magazine to celebrate Pixmas, “the most important religious holiday for gamers.” Unfortunately he offends some co-workers because they are “newbish” or celebrate “Pwonzaa”.
Here is where the sequence [...]

I opened the paper to the comics to read my favorite three (Foxtrot, Zits, Baby Blues). When to my surprise I found the first frame of Foxtrot to contain a bowl full of binary. Apparently Jason was organizing his Alphabets into alpha-bytes (the punchline of the comic by the way). Like many of you out [...]
