Microsoft announced last week a revolutionary “new” interface for computing. I really wanted to comment on it last week, but with a very shortened week, did not find the time to do so. A friend posted a link on his site, reminding me to comment… so, thanks Steve. 🙂 This really looks phenomenal. It’s a…

YouTube on AppleTV
One more thing before I go… Apple announced yesterday that coming this month there will be a new item on the main menu of your AppleTV. YouTube videos will be accessible right on your living room TV. 🙂 Pretty cool idea. You even have access to some dynamic content like your History, Most Watched videos,…
iTunes "Releases" Music
iTunes has announced today the beginning of their move to DRM-free music (meaning, no copy protection… which has been really annoying to digital music purchasers for quite some time). This also means that people who don’t have iPods can purchase stuff from iTunes and just put the song right on their non-Apple MP3 player now….
NEStopia
While reading an article on some Mac software releases and such, I happened upon a link to a Nintendo NES Emultaor for Mac OS X!!! I checked it out, and it was super easy to install and I found a game that will run on it that I have been wanting to find for a…
Various Things
Kirsten joined us for reading the Bible today (usually it’s just Dad & the boys…) and in today’s story, Jesus was going to have dinner with one of the Pharisee’s named Simon. Well, we had just been talking about how we’d like to go to Wendy’s for dinner, so I said, “Maybe they went to…
Mac OS Ken
After a funny little incident involving my iPod Shuffle and a podcast I listen to, I decided to e-mail the dude who does the show, and my email made today’s podcast. 🙂 I clipped the show and have uploaded the audio here, if you’d care to listen. Click on Ken’s face to visit his site…
Not Too Long From Now…
We’ll look back at the days we drove around “sniffing” out Wi-Fi “hotspots” to post something to our blog or check e-mail or IM a friend. For now, that was a fun way to pass some time while waiting for Jen to get some stuff in Wal-Mart. 🙂
Carpet From God, TV and Other Web Fun
Well, most of the clean up is done, and a neat-o story from today is… I called a carpet-laying friend of ours today during a break from cleaning up and asked if he possibly had any scraps of carpet he’d be OK to part with. I told him the situation, and that we had lost…
Really, REALLY Fast Car
Bugatti Veyron at top speedUploaded by Flabber My Dad sent this video along. I watched. It was pretty incredible. I have gone very fast in a car… but not THAT fast! Enjoy.
Medieval Helpdesk
This is from another friend named Chris… and as someone who now spends a good deal of time offering “tech support” … I found this to be quite hilarious (and quite true to modern times…) 🙂 (It’s in Norwegian, by the way… so, you’ll have to read the English sub-titles…) Enjoy…
