I had a client ask me today to help with converting a bunch of WMV video files (Windows Media – Video) so that he could store them on his T-Mobile G1 and watch them. After a bit of digging, I found a wonderful tool called HandBrake that exists to do nothing but convert videos between [...]
Here are a few cool toys for the Mustang…a little “wish list” for the new toy:
1) Sequential Taillight Kit — Makes the turn signals blink in sequential fashion; very retro and wicked cool
2) Clear Turn Signal Lights – Converts the standard amber turn signals into a nicer chrome/clear deal
3) Chrome Halo Headlights – Love that [...]
I traded in my beloved MINI today on a 2008 Ford Mustang.
It hurt a little bit, because that MINI was a WONDERFUL car, but it was time to move on as the MINI was quickly approaching 100,000 miles, and there were major systems that were due to begin breaking any minute.
The Mustang has just [...]
This is wonderful! A company in South Africa is going to begin using homing pigeons to transfer data between its two offices, which are roughly 50 miles apart. Currently they use broadband to transfer about 4GB of encrypted data between the facilities. It takes about six hours to transfer the data. Instead, they’ll put the [...]
This is REALLY cool! The video’s pretty long (11 minutes) but worth every single second.

The driver’s side window on my MINI Cooper has always been a bit temperamental. Most of the time it works fine, but every so often it takes a vacation and will quit working.
The last time it happened, the car was going in for service anyway (to fix a cracked coolant overflow) so I had them [...]
Today I abandoned the Mac Mail application that comes with OS X in favor of Thunderbird.
In a way, I hated to do it. Mac Mail is very nicely put together, with an elegant, simple interface and everything right where it ought to be. But in my experience the IMAP support was flakey — particularly saving [...]
The proof of the pudding, they say, is in the eating. And so far, I’m liking what I’m eating.
My shiny new (refurbished) MacBook Pro arrived this morning via FedEx ground. The timing stunk — I was up to my ears in alligators due to some network issues at the data center (turned out to be [...]
Late last week, I did the unthinkable. I ordered a new laptop…from Apple.
I’ve been watching the MacBook Pro line closely lately, especially since Apple introduced the new unibody design, and I’ve been really impressed with what I’ve seen. In addition, OS X seems to be maturing to the point that nearly anything you can do [...]
Turns out the problem was indeed a data center fire (which is a truly frightening prospect). As best I can tell, a transformer shorted out and started a small fire. Sprinklers kicked in and put out the fire but also shorted out generators and caused much more serious problems. Ultimately, all power to the building [...]
