Hi There!
So it’s been a while since my last update! Not sure if there’s anyone out there still listening… but I’ve got no fancy excuses, I’ve just been lazy. But in the spirit of the blog being not quite extinct, life goes on. At any rate, this is just a quick update to hopefully kick [...]

Need a (free) web based movie player?
Here’s the skinny… If you hadn’t heard, my sister and brother in law just had (well, he’s 1 now) a baby boy, congrats!. Given how tech savvy they both are they take a ton of movies and photos and post them online for relatives from all around the country to watch. This is an awesome [...]

Out with the Mac, in with the Samsung!
So as I’ve written before, I’ve had plenty of problems with my (work) computer, and below is just another example. I have no idea why, no idea how but any CD I insert into my Macbook Pro just gets spat right back out. How annoying! Anyways, myself and a couple of friends went in on [...]

PS3++
So this weekend I decided to install linux on my PS3 (more on that later), so what better time to upgrade the hard drive! I commend Sony on making swapping out the drive so easy. Because it literally is that easy. Before you start, be sure to backup your data via System Settings -> Backup [...]

The first program I might actually buy for my phone.
So most of the apps for my phone thus far have been free. But recently I came into possession of a (trial!) program of panoman. The user interface for it is insanely easy. So far I’ve only used it twice but the results have been extremely awesome. Example below! Especially check out the high-res that [...]

Nokia, Ovi and my phone
So in a previous post I mentioned my recent acquisition of a Nokia N78 phone. Like I said, I wanted something not super expensive; yet something I could play around with. The N78 just happened to be the right fit. At any rate I don’t think I have the patience to write up an all-out [...]

MacBuntu
It’s done! I now finally have ubuntu on my MacBook Pro(4,1)! The initial partitioning of my drives (in order to keep my bootcamp’d windows and os x) was made out to be a lot harder than it actually was. I wasn’t quite sure what to do due to the fact that OS X seems very [...]

rEFItting the Mac
If you don’t know, Ubuntu 8.10 dropped today. As promised I will be attempting to install it this evening. I say “attempting” because you never know what might go wrong. Anyways, I came across an awesome program called rEFI that enables you to actually control and partition your mac hard drive without being forced into [...]

3 More Days
If you can’t tell… I’m really excited about throwing ubuntu on here, and my Mac must be too… since it keeps hinting that it wants to be fixed (image below). I even plan on ordering some [3D] stickers and a physical copy of the OS!
