I received a Nokia N90 to play with this weekend and I am working through the new device like any good gadget geek. The one thing that is really pissing me off, is an Apple thing, not a Nokia issue and that is that I cannot trick iSync to work with my phone so I [...]

When I read the news on TiVo today I have to confess, I was interested in having one again…
I don’t own a 5G iPod, but I do have a PSP and having an easy system to get video recorded and transfered for portability is quite attractive. I would consider a unique cable box just [...]

When I first heard about Google Analytics, I was very psyched to check it out, but as of yet I have absolutely nothing to report but disappointment.
Since installing days ago, I’ve been checking back to see when my 12-hour delay would expire and data would start rolling in… It’s been over 3 days and I’ve [...]

Today I installed my first electrical work at home.  I had never had the opportunity to try or to really have an interest, but thanks to a tip from my dad, I checked into Home Depot and picked up a few new light switches so I could enable an auto-timer on some outside lights.
I was [...]
