Fondleslab? Seriously?
I’ve never liked the term “slate” when it comes to devices like the iPad. Of corse for many geeks “tablet” makes them think for the old Windows unwieldily touchscreen devices. I’ve also heard them refered to as “slabs” which I just find to be atrocious. Now I’ve been exposed to a new term for them which makes every inch of my soul cry out in ( Read more... ) -
Random banner musings.
I’ve played musical chairs with the layout and themes of this blog almost more than I’ve actually made posts to it. For awhile I’ve settled on this one, and still have no real plans to make major changes to it. I’ve really enjoyed it’s minalmist look. However when I first switched to it I meant to put some type of banner graphic or picture up top, ( Read more... ) -
The 2011 Playoffs thus far.
This is the first year in a long while that I didn’t do my hockey predictions for the playoffs. The irony is that this year I probably watched more hockey than the last couple of years put together. The Sabres even worked their way in to the playoffs (only to play some of the most inconsistent hockey I’ve ever witnessed and getting knocked out by ( Read more... ) -
An actual entry!
Yes, a real Livejournal post from me, not some blast out cross posted from another site. Madness, right?
Well I just wanted to do a quick little update for anyone who might not know what's been going on through other channels. All is well so no worries, just wanted to give a little status update.
- I'm working again. Nope, I haven't given up the ( Read more... )

The Homebrew Setup Grows
My first homebrew set was a Christmas gift from my parents more than ten years ago. It sat unused in a closet for about a year until I moved in with a friend whose excitement about the idea of brewing beer caused my to finally open up the box and start working on a first batch of beer. The brew equipment was your typical two bucket setup. We used a ( Read more... ) -
Paying More is Good, Right?
The news media has really been hard pressed to come up with actual news these days (because as we all know there is nothing at all going on in the world these days), and I’ve seen an increase in painful to read opinion pieces. Normally I just grumble a little, perhaps share it with a person or two, then walk away. Today, however, I felt that this ( Read more... ) -
Making a Jailbreak
Well i already failed the post a day challenge I gave myself. However I’m not overly shocked by that failure. But I’ll just get right back on that horse and see if i can find a rhythm.
Anyway…
One feature I’ve always wished would be added to the iPad is the ability to select a default browser rather than always being forced to Safari every time ( Read more... ) -
Is there an Android in my future?
I’m not exactly a heavy phone user, but I’ve always loved gadgets, especially ones that will allow me to touch the Internet from where ever I happen to be. Still the obscene contractually prices have always turned me off. Even with just a regular “dumb phone” (god I hate that term) I’ve avoided contracts as I don’t use even close to enough minutes ( Read more... ) -
Where did the time go?
Has it really been over two months since I posted? It certainly doesn’t seem like it; normally I’ve not let posting slip that far behind. It would be easy to blame it on having to take care of Gabriel along with the lack of sleep these days, but there wouldn’t be too much truth to that excuse. As with many things I have to chalk this one up to ( Read more... ) -
Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
After a lot of thinking, pondering, going back and forth, and more than just a little bit of drooling, I finally broke down and got an iPad. Yes, I'm quite aware when the iPad came out that I panned it. One of my complaints, like many others, is that the iPad is just a big iPod touch. In many ways it is nothing more than that, but I've come to ( Read more... )
