Apple App Of the Week
Here’s a new segment I’m going to start that features great applications for the iPod Touch/iPhone, chosen by me. None of them will be “jailbroken” apps since I chose not to jailbreak my iPod Touch. Some of them I may feature are probably well known already and some may be fairly new, But that won’t [...]

HandBrake 0.9.3 Released, Improvements.
I’ll admit it. I’ve been using Handbrake for converting DVD’s straight to iPod Touch friendly formats for a while now. I have felt that it’s been better than any other converter of the type. So straightforward, and good quality too!
New update is out, and it seems as though it can …
Behold. Samsung Pee Three Has Arrived.
That’s right. The P2 wasn’t much of a threat to the iPod Touch. Will the P3 be enough?
I think, no.
Maybe the P4.
I actually really liked the P2. I was going to get one, but I have the Touch instead. In fact, I still want one, and my craving is become …
Backup Buds: Sony’s MDRE11LPD (Black)
Besides releasing phones, home entertainment products and audio players, Sony is also a big company in the market of earphones. And yes, even the earphones have confusing model numbers/names. Try asking for MDRE11LPD’s at a store. See what kind of reaction you get from the employee there…
…well, I do own …

Holiday Gaming Guide
I’ve been in the endless struggle of what game is better than the other. With the holidays fast approaching, many others will be as well. While I won’t make the decisions for you, I’ve completed a handy little guide on what the best options (and the cheapest) are. Personally, I’m really looking forward to my [...]
We interrupt this blog for an important announcement:
A NEW WATCHMEN TRAILER! I am so stoked for this film! Sadly, I will need to drag along someone to take me inside the theater. I think. I am seventeen on release day, and the screen says under 17 need mommy and daddy, so it implies that I won’t, but who knows. Without futher ado, [...]

How to fix GRUB - menu.lst file
Hi Everyone,
I just had the privilege nay, the honour, of having to recover my computer from total destruction.
I was fiddling around with my GRUB (a bootloader), and somehow erased everything in the main configuration file, /boot/grub/menu.lst
Naturally, when I tried to boot the next time, GRUB panicked and ran to the nearest corner sobbing, leaving my [...]
Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Review
If you have read my previous post in relation to the new Ubuntu release, you would be forgiven for thinking that I’m scathing and negative about it, but it’s not the case!
After my bad experience last week after upgrading directly from Hardy to Intrepid I burnt an ISO of the release candidate and did a [...]
Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Beta - First Impressions

Installations was a breeze, running the command update-manager -d runs the update manager, which does the whole thing for you, after all was installed, I had to reboot, [...]

The iPod Touch Cometh
Yes. After 16 months of extolling the virtues of the Microsoft Zune and its platform, I have been seduced and fallen to the Apple Side, claiming a 32GB iPod Touch in the process.
It’s not the first time that I have owned an iPod. I’ve owned a couple of the 20GB and 30GB models, the last [...]
Mac OS X: Likes and Dislikes, From a PC User
Hi, I’m a PC-Becoming-a-Mac. As a Windows user, I’ve found the interface for Mac OS easy to get accustomed to, and in fact, I like a few things better than on the Windows platform. But it works both ways, and as with any piece of technology, Mac OS has some idiosyncrasies that annoy me. Here’s [...]
Zune 3.0 - One Month Later
It has been roughly a month since the release of the Zune 3.0 software for desktops and devices. Now that I’ve had that time to work with the products, I wanted to offer several thoughts on the platform.
The Good
Compatibility for first generation Zune 30GB devices. For Microsoft, this is a surprising but refreshing change. Early [...]
Small Town Geeks
Nation Rick Rolled
Today during the Thanksgiving Day Parade, on national television, all who watched were Rick Rolled. The Foster House puppets were singing a bubbly little song. All of a sudden the music came to a halt and Rick Astley popped out on the float singing his hit “Never gonna give you up.”

I have been lazy…
Ok, not really. My school has this stupid idea that it is good to give us pretty much NO homework all term, and then give us 15 projects at once at the end of term.
But, i do have things coming. I have a Re-Review of my Nearly 2 year old ZVW. I use it everyday [...]
