I've been using Firefox since it was known as Phoenix back in the 0.1 days and have always been really pleased with the project overall. Using Firefox has always been a pleasure with good performance, stability and extensibility. It had gotten so good that I didn't think Firefox 3 could really be that much more […]

When I left Las Vegas for a new life in Utah, I also left behind several friends. Just prior to moving, I'd had a falling out with one of them that bordered on epic. Since we both had mutual friends and I was the one leaving town, it pretty much cut me off from all […]

I can count only a handful of times that I've experienced some kind of computer hardware failure. The most recent was a little over a year ago when the power supply in the desktop blew out unexpectedly. This morning, I got the rare "pleasure" of experiencing it again when I found that the desktop refused […]

I've been talking about getting one of these nigh on forever and on Saturday, I finally took the plunge. Say "hello Moto":
Yes, it's really as cool as it looks. Camera, Bluetooth, GPS, full Internet access… it has the works at a very affordable $150 after a mail-in rebate. It's certainly a step up from the […]

WordPress 2.1.3 was released way back when we did our server move about a year ago and it has kept our site chugging along ever since. Recently, WordPress 2.5 was released along with some news: if you don't upgrade, Technorati may […]

I would really like a legislature to go by without some sort of embarrassing technology bill being put forth. Despite my best hopes, it appears that this year isn’t it. Rep. Brad Daw has put forth a bill (largely written by the Chairman of SCO, a company that has it’s own disgraceful and embarrassing history) […]

Last night I managed to blow out the computer speakers and the attached headphones. For some odd reason I keep on building these big static charges and when I brushed up against the headphone clip, ZAP, $500+ worth of sound equipment goes bye-bye. I was pretty frustrated, but I think the headphones are under warranty […]

Betcha didn't know I was even running for something, huh? Bradley Ross, the guy who runs the Bloghive, has decided to form an advisory board to help steer it and provide some input on operations. I accepted a nomination to be considered and as of today, the voting has started.
I think I'd add a lot […]

You're looking at one of Utah's newest HAM operators. Tonight I took the Technician test and passed without a problem. In a couple of days, I get listed on the FCC database with a shiny new call sign and I can legally start transmitting. You know, once I get my own radio.
Hey Vanessa? That's your […]
