PSP – The PlayStation Portable
So, now that I’ve got my gripes and games out of the way… GUT REACTION: I’m now a PSP owner, and I can say (without a doubt) that this is singlehandedly the best portable gaming experience I’ve ever… experienced. I’d even go as far as to say that the PSP runs circles around regular ol’ [...]
My First Time on a Segway
David Geller was on his way home for the weekend, and he offered to stop by and let me ride on his brand-new Segway. Yes, a Segway – THAT Segway. I've seen one roll up and down our street a few times in the past, so I know there's more than a few in Seattle. [...]
Remembering Memorial Day?
What are we memorializing – or who? It's a holiday weekend here in the US, and many families have gone on a three-day vacation. Monday is Memorial Day, and some would argue that the original meaning of the holiday has been lost. I'm doing nothing other than catching up on a pile of tasks throughout [...]
Waiting for Qwest
Oh, this is a fun Friday… I've got nothing better to do than to sit around the house and wait for the phone guy to show up and install a few lines for the show. This is almost like waiting for Godot – only a lot more exciting. We should be able to start taking [...]
VoIP Floats
Based on my VoIP gotcha, Lockergnomie David Scott… The technical problems you mention seem significant enough to make me question the reliability of VoIP – at least in your situation. There are other considerations. Does the phone work when you lose power? Most VoIP does not. How are you going to call the power company [...]
Kiss My ASCII
I love how everybody whines when they don't get their way – it's human nature. So, for all of you who unsubscribed from my RSS feed because it wasn't the way you wanted it (even though you're not the one providing it or paying for it), then you won't ever know that I considered going [...]
New PSP Video Tools
Because Sony decided to skip the software part of things with their PSP (wisely, as seldom do hardware companies ever produce great software for Windows), a few independent coders are taking a crack at PSPifying their conversion utilities: ImTOO DVD to PSP Suite is a powerful DVD to PSP converter. It Includes ImTOO DVD Ripper [...]
Blogebrity
So, does this mean I'm finally going to be in a non-tech magazine? Will I have to do something silly again, like rent my forehead instead of my chest? Are they going to make a Bloggywood Squares game show next? Can I be Center Square? Will having inserted an obscure Monty Python reference into the [...]
Weather Man
During my senior year in high school, our school was chosen to house a GOES-TAP computer terminal. There were eight others just like it, sitting in other high schools around the country. GOES-TAP was a weather service. With the system, you could basically be your own forecaster. Since I was keenly interested in becoming a [...]
