The Wow is now. Windows Vista upgrade complete.

So I went out today and bought myself a legit copy of the brand-spankin’ new Windows Vista Home Premium. This is the first OS I’ve ever bought outside of a new computer purchase. In addition, my brother got me a copy of Microsoft Office 2007 for my birthday last week since he knew [...]

The quest for better earbuds

Everyone knows that the earbuds that come with the iPod are pretty low quality. Mine have barely any low frequency at all, and they seem to be losing their volume level each and every day. So I decided to buy some new earbuds as a replacement.
I first went out and got a set [...]

Thus ends the Compact Disc

I heard today in a podcast that the CD is dying. It’s on its way out. I don’t know if that’s completely true. I mean I think the audio CD is dying. Programs like iTunes and Rhapsody and even the Zune Marketplace are the future of music delivery to consumers. [...]

You should check out geni.com. It’s a great little website that lets you build a family tree. And you can [...]

Quote

A quote I heard the other day by Patrick Norton, when asked his opinion of Windows Vista:

Widget!

Here’s a little thing I was working on… nothing too big, and it’s still very 1.0.
I made a widget that will let you have this blog’s RSS feed in your dashboard. It should auto-update whenever a new blog is posted. You can also, via the control on the back, adjust how much or [...]

Blinded by the light, or the darkness revealed
