This is an odd movie, but it shows a Yonah system playing Quake and killing (in time) a presumably current system. Yonah is the chip we’ll be seeing VERY soon from Intel and should be in PCs and probably Macs as well.

AtomicParsley

December 27th, 2005 · No Comments · apple, software

This looks quite handy if you have or plan to make video for the iPod, and use iTunes to manage.

I recently found this little utility, AtomicParsley, which has the ability to change data within iTunes M4A and M4V files and make iTunes believe they are of a different type. [Command-Tab]

SNL - Lazy Sunday

December 23rd, 2005 · 1 Comment · fun stuff and good links, tv

I so rarely even try to watch Saturday Night Live these days, but I like Jack Black and happened to catch a bit of the show. By far the best bit was lazy Sunday with Chris Parnell and Adam Samberg which was just released for Free on iTunes…

Arrested Development humor cutting edge

December 19th, 2005 · No Comments · tv

I was catching up on last week’s episode of Arrested Development last and I caught a joke that was well current. Oscar was being imprisoned for looking like his twin brother George and the warden says “no more Imoscar.com this time and Oscar says, this time I think I’ll do a podcast. I [...]

Verizon Blackberry 7130e - no DUN for you

December 19th, 2005 · 3 Comments · gadgets and technology, marketing

I can’t quite figure out why the BlackBerry 71xx series devices don’t support DUN, other than some silly corporate politics. The latest version the 7130e from Verizon supports their Broadband Access (EVDO) network and in the ad I just saw in the WSJ, says specifically that you it can provide tethered modem access for [...]

Audio Tools

I’ve added a few new tools of note to my gadget bag and thought I’d share…
First, Ashley was kind enough to get me a new 60GB 5G iPod and it’s a wonderful change from my previous 3G 40GB model. I love the color, size and resolution of the screen. The overall size [...]

Personal Update

December 18th, 2005 · No Comments · Personal

As you might have noted in my last post, and lack of posts prior to that one last week, I’ve been extremely busy. I am crashing through an amazingly high profile and short term client project which will have quite a few of us cranking through the holidays. I am actually booked on [...]

San Jose Hyatt Airport

December 18th, 2005 · 1 Comment · moblog, travel

Here's a taste of what my last week traveling was like. Imagine arriving to this room after an exhaustive day of work and travel and returning here after pulling 12-15 hour days. Lovely.

Snow Shots

December 9th, 2005 · No Comments · travel

What a messy day today is turning out to be… We had probably about 4 inches of snow at the house this am which was beautiful, but now that I am in the city, it’s seriously messy.& Unlike the snow in westchester, the city snow turns black and slushy pretty quick.
Here are some snaps [...]

N90 DUN resolved

December 8th, 2005 · No Comments · Personal

Andy hooked me up with a Nokia Europe link today that enabled a config for the N90 and made getting online (as I am now) via bluetooth quite simple.
I highly recommend this as a great way to gain access beyond Wifi. If I was on Cingular, I could be enjoying EDGE or better, but [...]

Sharepoint is horrendous

December 8th, 2005 · 6 Comments · software

I regularly have to use Sharepoint based on a pretty significant global deal that was made far down in the enterprise that is my employer…
It sucks.
We use our sharepoint install for global communications, file sharing and client work sites. Today I discovered that I am unable to upload a file period from the [...]

Nokia N90 DUN on T-Mobile?

December 7th, 2005 · 1 Comment · gadgets and technology

Anyone out there get the Nokia N90 to work with DUN on T-Mobile? I feel like I’m just missing a checkbox as I get things to connect, but fail on authentication. Anyone?

Sony PSP wild posting

December 6th, 2005 · 11 Comments · Personal

Not really sure why this was on the Metro North train, but it was right next to me this am….
If you can’t recognize it, it’s a PSP not some kind of new lollipop.

Powerbook Based Commute

December 5th, 2005 · No Comments · travel

There's a cool thing that happens pretty regularly on the train which is that you can look right into a train on the next track. I'm not sure why I like this so much, perhaps it's a bit voyeuristic or something…
This morning, it happened when looked up and saw the train on my left, I [...]

I just love having a capable phone like the N90 handy for moments like this… no need to worry about whether the video camera is around, let alone charged with a clean tape.
Priceless…

This is your beer. Welcome Runners!

December 3rd, 2005 · 1 Comment · moblog

I caught this one via N90 as I was leaving the city for Newark
Airport last week. What struck me was how truly odd it is to show a
very fit women who would probably prefer an Evian promoting a beer
after exercise.
