26 Mar 08"Buy the Cheap Cables"
Also see this article about Monster Cables vs Coat Hangers. What a rip-off. And yes, I do own a Monster cable... or two.
26 Mar 08Saddam Financed Lawmakers' Trip

22 Mar 08Democrats Play the McCarthy Card
Against each other...how rich. And from no less a complete tool than Merrill McPeak.
20 Mar 08WordPress 2.5
The new interface looks sharp. I locally installed WordPress (and Expression Engine) last year to see if I wanted to switch. At the time, I thought "no" - we'll see if that holds if the tinkering bug returns.
20 Mar 08Wired 1.1
Arrgh. I also have the first issue of Wired and was going to do a post like this. That's what I get for being lazy. The only other issue I saved was the Neal Stephenson eleventy-billion word cover story about FLAG - Fiber optic Link Around the Globe.
20 Mar 08Rent vs. Buy Myths
All those folks that gave me crap when I moved to Vegas almost two years go and didn't buy? I laugh at them daily.

Noun, from German damage and joy. See Paris Hilton.
8 Jun 07Netscape?
Apple's Featured Download is what?! I didn't think they still made it. I'm sure the eight fanboys left in the world are rejoicing.

I bought my first digital camera, a Fuji FinePix, based on their indepth reviews. And given my recent acquisition of a Nikon D40, I've been spending a lot of time browsing their forums. Congrats.

24 Feb 07Star Wars Pod Race + Lady Bug with Balls
You'll just have to trust me.
24 Feb 07ESPN.com: Welcome to the hip-hop Woodstock
I'm not much of a basketball guy, but I enjoy Bill Simmons. As a resident of Las Vegas, I can’t say I was too crushed to have missed out on the NBA All-Star Weekend "festivities"
