Getting the house in order

Wendie is now a full-time pharmacist and the time has now come to start furnishing the house. It’s been pretty spartan since we moved in back in June since Wendie had to study for her boards.

Back to Vegas!

I’m leaving for Las Vegas in the morning for VMworld 2008. That’s twice to Sin City in three months, but both have been work related. To break the monotony of travel, I picked myself up a newly released 32 GB iPod Touch. So far, I’m digging it. Of course, what really makes it usable is [...]

XBox 360 to get keyboard controller

XBOX 360′s QWERTY thumb keyboard is official – I like the fact that I can use Windows Live Messenger from within the 360. However, typing text is horrible without a keyboard and though I discovered I can plug a USB keyboard into the 360, I don’t want to. Now, I won’t have to! Sure it’s [...]

TiVo Dot Net

The thing all the cool kids are doing is getting the Philips DVP5960 DVD player because it has USB inputs. What’s neat is that you can attach a thumb drive or a hard drive to the DVD player and watch any content you might already have lying around (DVD’s you ripped to DivX, things you [...]

My Next Phone

RIM unveiled the 8800 today. I likely won’t buy it when it debuts on 2/21 (don’t worry, Wendie ), but it will be my next phone. I wonder how much I can get for my 8700c on eBay?
