War on White

I noticed some­thing after this after­noon’s Apple “The Beat Goes On” event in S.F.: as of today, Apple no longer makes a white iPod. The icon of fash­ion­able tech­nol­o­gy for near­ly the past six years is dead. Per­son­al­ly, I always liked what Apple had done with white, but I sup­pose alu­minum is the new white.

Baby Got Domain

Here’s a Yahoo! News arti­cle (via Life­hack­er) about the increase in infants with their own domain names, many of whom won’t be used for any­thing oth­er than a parked page for years. Per one par­ent “One of the cri­te­ria was, if we liked the name, the domain had to be avail­able.” I can’t say that… Con­tin­ue read­ing Baby Got Domain

July Has Thirty One Days

It’s been a long month that went by real­ly quick­ly. How­ev­er, I sus­pect in a cou­ple of weeks I’ll be long­ing for the good ‘ole days of July ’07. I know that I’ve com­plete­ly dropped the ball on writ­ing on this site this past month. I real­ly regret that as it’s only because way too… Con­tin­ue read­ing July Has Thir­ty One Days

TiVo Is Still Ahead on IPTV

Though few seem to acknowl­edge the strides that TiVo has been mak­ing in IPTV (as opposed to Apple), Engad­get is report­ing that you can now pur­chase Ama­zon Unbox con­tent straight from your TiVo.

Re-activating Windows

After fid­dling around with run­ning Win­dows XP on Par­al­lels for sev­er­al months, I came to the con­clu­sion that the best method of instal­la­tion is to use Apple’s Boot Camp first and run Par­al­lels off of the Boot Camp par­ti­tion (which is a real­ly cool option to have, just so you know). How­ev­er, due to the nature… Con­tin­ue read­ing Re-acti­vat­ing Windows

Rockin Out to Son Volt Again

My co-work­er Ron­nie has a friend who has a friend who made a very nice record­ing of the Son Volt con­cert I attend­ed a few weeks ago. I have to say, there’s some­thing cool about lis­ten­ing to a live record­ing know­ing you’re one of the peo­ple shout­ing in the audi­ence on it.
