I’m certain you’ve heard of the improbable circumstances surrounding the plane crash (and survival of all aboard) last week in NYC. Came across this video today from the Coast Guard camera that watches the events unfold.
"Surprise" Guest on This Week in Tech
I often listen to podcasts while I work (at my home office), and frequently, they are produced by twit.tv. This afternoon, I began listening to the latest episode of the main show, This Week In Tech (TWIT), and there was a surprise guest… Geordi La Forge! 🙂 Didn’t know he was so much of a…
Not Relaxed
I never feel relaxed. Ever. I have been noticing this for a while now. It’s rather disturbing, actually. I can’t pinpoint the exact reason(s) for it, but mainly it stems from the fact that I never complete anything. I always feel like there are 7 other things I need to be doing at any point…
Macworld 2009: Some Pretty Cool Updates
Well, the keynote is over, and the announcements have been made (iLife ’09, iWork ’09, iWork.com, new 17″ MacBook Pro, and even a DRM-free iTunes!) And while there was no Steve… there were some pretty neat things. Check out the extensive video tutorials for both iWork ’09 and iLife ’09. Some really amazing new features…
No Steve Jobs = No Fun?
Today at 1pm EDT, Apple fans all around the world will be tracking the always greatly anticipated announcements to come from the keynote presentation at the annual Macworld Convention and Expo in San Francisco, CA. But this year, the keynote will be a bit different. And perhaps less highly anticipated than usual? No Steve Jobs….
University at Buffalo – BOWL GAME!
I am actually an alumnus of three different universities. All undergrad. All within four years after completing high school. That’s kinda strange, but does give me a few teams to root for. One of those is playing in a bowl game today! At 1:00pm on ESPN2, you can see the UB Bulls take on UConn…
Music Added to our Library in 2008
And, just for fun… been listening to our “Added in 2008” playlist the last could days. Here’s a sample of some of the music we added to our collection in the calendar year 2008. (Again, random order.) Chris Tomlin: Hello Love Santana: The Anthology Wings: Wings Greatest Derek Webb: The Ringing Bell Chris Rice: Short…
Year In Review: 2008
I know, this is a little late, but… on our trip down to visit family in Ohio, all seven of us compiled a list of the best things we could remember from 2008. (OK, maybe not too much from Emma…) This is what we came up with: (in no particular order, except for the first…
Mac Tip: Repair Permissions
For some reason, this little feature in Mac OS X 10.5 Disk Utility (and previous iterations of OS X) keeps popping up as a solution lately. I thought perhaps readers of this blog might benefit from a little reminder, and quick tutorial for performing this routine maintenance task. First, what it is not. It is…
Bailouts
As you are well aware, I do not frequently comment on things in the political realm here. Mostly because it either seems irrelevant to me, or too annoying to talk about anyway. (Or, too volatile to post thoughts here… why are some people so tied to their political thoughts/beliefs/affiliations??) But today I saw the first…
