None of our family lives in the area of Katrina’s wrath, but two of my uncles, one of my aunts and a family friend narrowly escaped Katrina’s onslaught. They were fortunate enough to get plane tickets out of New Orleans and into Texas. The family friend’s friends actually went to the airport early to get [...]
Okay, so I might be wrong on my last post… Naruto will be on Cartoon Network but it might be the afteroon schedule - Toonami - aimed at kiddies getting home from school instead of Adult Swim - obviously aimed at adults who have nothing better to do than watch cartoons. No offense, since I’m [...]
Naruto is easily one of my favorite anime series to watch. I have been watching the subtitled episodes for quite some time. My wife and I could watch it for hours… probably days. The characters are great and the fights are mucho fun. ^_^
Anyways, I have to let some of my subsnobishness loose here since [...]
Here’s the lovely message I’ve been getting for the past couple days now when trying to access my Google gmail account…

I did a little digging but couldn’t find any info on this down time. Anyone got [...]
I’ve seen a million little articles and suggestions on the importance of tough passwords and how to come up with one, but a recent Sunbelt Software newsletter (Sunbelt is the maker of the award-winning and excellent CounterSpy anti-spyware software) included a very practical and usable guide to creating a strong password. This is one of [...]
Just got one of SilverStone’s latest cases in. I think SS introduced the LC16 at Computex, along with some other sweet cases, including one with a built-in 7″ LCD on the front! That case has an $600 MSRP though… ouch!
The LC16 includes a new cooling layout and a really stylish design that will fit in [...]
It was fun watching Agassi take on Nadal in the Rogers Cup yesterday. I really enjoy watching Agassi and was surprised to see him get upset a couple times during the match. After Agassi dropped a set and then took the second with some strong games and points, I thought Nadal might be in trouble. [...]
Doesn’t sound like a very good couple of days, does it? But that’s pretty much what happened to a 28-year-old South Korean man. He played some simulation game in a cybercafe for some 50 hours, only breaking for the toilet and short naps. After finishing, he apparently died of heart failure! Moral of the story: [...]
I was watching a press interview on TV yesterday about the US housing bubble. It is incredible what consequences could come out of a collapse in the US housing bubble. I would suggest that anyone that owns a house, wants to buy a house, or wants to sell a house read the following [...]
Still no laptop… it’s only been a day afterall, and I’m not suddenly $2,000 richer. After daydreaming about laptops a bit this week, I finally remembered one of my favorite brands that I’ve never owned — Hypersonic-PC. H-PC tricks out every piece of a computer or laptop if you want them to. I love to [...]
