I’m more of a fan of Google Chrome than anything else, having found that Firefox seems slow and bloated by comparison. But I might just need to keep that Firefox install running on the Macbook for one reason: Firesheep, via Eric Butler – my new Internets hero: This is a widely known problem that has [...]
It’s no joke: we love (love!) our pup Thatcher. So much that one or two days a week we’ll drop her off at doggie day care to enjoy the pack for the day. To that end, we’re big supporters of a local business here in Erie called Bowhaus, which also provides live indoor and outdoor [...]
I’ve recently become re-hooked on MS Flight Simulator 2004 (since FSX kinda sucks in comparison, IMHO). Ask my wife where I disappear to every now and then and she’ll tell you: “He’s flying from Baltimore to Miami or something.” Well, that or a heavy thunderstorm ILS approach to Sea-Tac in a 737-400.

I originally put up a post about two pieces of software that just plain make life easier when you’re sitting in front of a computer all day, but the list ended up growing. While I love both Google Chrome and WikidPad, the original topics of this post, I found that I wanted to list a [...]
Gizmodo’s got some awesome home-brewed desktop’s leaning towards the “spring” persuasion. I really like the full-size version of the picture above, somewhat because it was shot on an iPhone but also ’cause it reminds of NYC. The rest of the user-submitted photos can be found over at Gizmodo.
This is huge for anyone who owns an Apple product and has ever dealt with having to fix, say, a keyboard that your cat puked on (ask me how I know this…): iFixit has released it’s fixit guides for iPhones, iPods, Macbooks, and Mac desktops under a Creative Commons license.
