And varily, it was deemed awesome
I hadn’t been home from the trip for 10 minutes when the UPS truck backed in and Mr. Brown walked up with my monitor. That’s what we call a nice coming home present. Later that evening I got time to hook it up and enjoy the wonder. Folks, we have a winner. In terms of [...]
Only Apple
Only Apple could get away with touting a media player with no screen as being a feature. Random is the New Order Welcome to a life less orderly. As official soundtrack to the random revolution, the iPod Shuffle Songs setting takes you on a unique journey through your music collection — you never know what’s around [...]
“So how does it sound?”
“So how does it sound?” some may ask. I of course drove it to work yesterday, auditioning several CDs. I listened to some Strunz and Farah, a very talented flamenco group that usually produce clean, quality recordings. This was their CD Americas, and it sounded simply wonderful on the setup.

Finished for now
Finally got everything complete and installed yesterday. It was a long and relatively painful weekend, but overall I’m really pleased with where I wound up.

Well that was fun. Delightfully, I’m not as inept as I by all rights should be in removing all manner of crap from the innards of my car. Ah yes, I hear the chortling in the background… I know, I have yet to prove that I can put any of the stuff back in. But [...]
Using My Time Wisely
Hi. Where’ve you been? Well, today starts three weeks — that’s 3 whole weeks, or 21 days to humans — of bachelorhood for me. My girls headed out today on the Great Flying Aluminum Tube to Canada to visit all the kin up therebouts (there’s a phrase that’s underused in my lexicon… I feel better already). [...]
Clarity comes at a price
I have a long list of things that, given a choice, I wouldn’t want to see in the enhanced resolution provided by high definition television. Steven Tyler is near the top. Eww! One of the few times that I’ve been glad I only have a 36″ HDTV. People with wall-sized sets probably vomited. I of course [...]
