April Fools Around the Web
This entry will be a repository for all of the April Fool’s I come across today.  It’s funny that I only read 4 newspaper comic strips daily, and 3 of them are in on one joke together, heh. Joke 1: Get Fuzzy Pearls Before Swine... full entry

MSN Video - OS Phobic
Microsoft launched a service called MSN Video that for a $19.95 subscription, you would be able to download TV shows and other video content to your computer and portable electronics. I admit that I had no interest to partake, at that price anyway, but I... full entry

DVD to PSP
I’ve spent the past few days working on various ways of getting video onto the PSP.  This solution is for Mac OS X.  Unfortunately, to go from a DVD that you own into a single file on your PSP, the Mac method is nearly as... full entry

PSP Icons for Mac OS X and Windows XP
I’ve taken the liberty of creating some PSP icons, since the only ones I could find so far are just made from system marketing photos.  The 53 icon set here includes badged folder icons, a variety of memory stick icons, as well as multiple color... full entry

PSP and me
Yes, I purchased a PSP.  I use the term purchase loosely, as it felt more like bartering.  They gave me a PSP, and I gave them my XBOX, all my controllers, some random accessories, a couple games, some Gameboy games, and I sold my Dreamcast... full entry

Wi-Fi and Cordless Phones
I recently purchased a nice 2-handset cordless phone via “woot!”.  As I’m sure many others before me have experienced, 2.4Ghz cordless phones completely wonk out your wireless 802.11b/g network.  I’d be on the internet, get a phone call, and be completely unable to access the... full entry

But at what cost?!
Well, $159.99.  Yep, that price was the breaking point for me, and I got an iPod Mini (blue).  You may have seen that this week they released a new 6GB version and kept the price at $249.  The “old” 4GB versions went down to $199.... full entry

Gasp! Maps by Google
If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you check out Google’s new beta map search.  It is très cool, with slick-looking maps that make Mapquest and Yahoo’s look like grade school art projects. And courtesy of macOSXhints, if you are fortunate enough to be... full entry

Of Mouses and Men
Have you ever gotten into the driver’s seat of your friend or spouse’s vehicle and felt really out of place?  Maybe you have to click the turn signal towards you like a toggle instead of flipping it out like a switch to turn the brights... full entry

MacWorld Madness
Okay, so everyone and their mother are already writing about MacWorld today/yesterday.  Well, who am I to blaze my own trail?  So, I’ll join the bandwagon.  (How many more cliches can I pack in?) Two of the big announcements were for the Mac Mini (an... full entry

Boys like candy!
Everyone gets messages on their machine that are for the wrong number.  Never have I gotten one where the caller identified that they did indeed hear the outgoing message and did indeed hear that it did not belong to the person they were trying to... full entry

Old Timey Commercial
Well my new tv commercial for Hoopers is finished.  It’s a play on old 50’s “educational” films put out by the state department.  It was a difficult sell to the client on concept, but when he saw it finished, he loved it, realizing that it... full entry

The USB 2.0 Lie
I thought this would be relevant to post considering how many people are unaware, and marketing departments continue to cram this massive lie down people’s throats.  When returning the hard drive below, they asked why, and I said I needed one that would work off... full entry
