Dear Palm…

When Palm Pilots first came out, I didn’t get it. I had my trusty day planner that I carried everywhere. It wasn’t until my second job out of college that my suprvisor decided everyone on his team needed Handspring Visors. Handspring was founded by the folks who invented the first Palm Pilot, The Visor was [...]

Obligatory iPhone post

The iPhone arrived! It’s either a sign of the apocalypse or the second coming, take your pick. I don’t know why but I’m just not all up in a bunch over the thing. As far as I can tell, there are four things it can do that my really old Treo can’t: visual voicemail, multi-touch [...]

Price be damned… must have….

Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon (Lego Store) – So who cares that it’s $499? I know Icertainly don’t. This would more than make up for the fact that my original Falcon (the much smaller, early 80’s toy) was sold at me parents’ garage sale long long ago.

Does it give itself oil-jobs?

All I can say to this is, “Oh, hell yeah!”
With their remote-control, animatronic, 7-foot-tall Robby the Robot from the Sci-Fi classic Forbidden Planet, Hemmacher and Schlemmer prove once again that theirs is the coolest catalog ever invented.

Beware the INTJ

While deleting mail from my inbox at work yesterday, I came across a link from someone to a personality test. Since I was at work, I was bored and decided to give it a shot. I am such a sucker for crap like this. I especially enjoy the vague descriptions of the various [...]

OS X love…

Now that my mac is working again, I have been jonsing to try out the new OS X 10.4 in all its juicy graphical glory. One of the first things I did (after finding batteries for the wireless keyboard and mouse that had died) was hit up eBay.
$85… $70… $110… all good prices for [...]

My Mac… It lives!

When I moved into the new place, I decided to put my Mac in my bedroom. We had grown close since I got it from Corky, and I figured it should move in with me. Seriously, the computer room in the loft is hot, and I don’t like being up there for long periods [...]
