Is life really just "the shadows we make with our hands?"

There are two things I find of great interest in the laptop world: (1) the large number of companies that claim “we were first!” with technologies they were far from first with and (2) unbeknownst to the myraid of consumers out there, there is only one line of laptops that regularly has managed to claim a large number of “firsts” and innovations that really mattered – and that’s the line that oddly rarely makes such claims. That laptop line is of course (as is known to those who are tech savvy) is the Thinkpad line. Read more

Here’s a letter I wrote to one of New York State’s Senators, Kirsten Gillibrand:

Dear Senator, if it comes down to it, please vote AGAINST the ATT/T-Mobile offer. AT&T has been doing a great job of misrepresenting reality by improper use of the facts, and I know you are smart enough to see through it. Read more

So… many of the people I’ve encountered that don’t like Iron Maiden simply haven’t given them the due time needed to come to that conclusion. There are many factors required to gain an appreciation of this highly underrated band (yes, they are highly underrated, even in comparison to the numerous claims of their greatness).

Here’s a short list of what’s required to gain Read more

Hey all,

After a lot of searching Google, I found an interesting app set called Beautiful Widgets that seems to do all I want in a Weather App/Widget – and more! Besides wanting a functional weather widget that looked at least decent, I also wanted something that ran decently on my venerable T-Mobile G1. Beautiful Widgets does all of that and a decent amount more!

While it is a “pay” app, it definitely seems worth the price (approx $1.85US at current conversion rates). Though it is from a non-US company, and makes no indication of functioning in the US, it does so just fine ( by city, state, zip, GPS location, or cell location).

Iron Maiden: The Final Frontier

Some things get better with age, like fine wine – but heavy metal bands generally do not fall into that category.

How many bands from the 1970′s do you know of that still have a big enough following to sell out virtually every concert for the last TEN years? How many bands from the 1970′s are releasing TOP TEN albums this late into their career? The only answer that comes to mind is Iron Maiden!

This August, Iron Maiden released “The Final Frontier” – their 15th studio album, and in two weeks, it’s hit #1 in 23 countries worldwide, and the top 5 in almost ten more! Of course, that begs the question, “Does it really deserve these numbers?”
