Hacking My Tivo (Part 1)

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2002

Well, as you may know, I picked up a Tivo a week or so back… Once again I have to comment how cool it is…

I, however, made it just a little more “cooler”… There has been a lot of talk that if you are running version 3.0 or higher of the Tivo Software [...]

Another Reason I Should Become A Teacher…

Monday, October 21st, 2002

Apple is giving away Mac OS X to teachers until 12.31.02! If you fit that category and have a Mac, I suggest you scoot on over here and check it out…

Back From Vegas…

Monday, October 21st, 2002

and I’m very very tired…

Had a good time with the annual Vegas crew this year… Everyone (well almost everyone) came back even if not a little ahead.

The topic of personal inventions was hot this weekend with lots of great ideas like medicated sausages and a wearable Tivo… I’ll get [...]

Thursday, October 17th, 2002

I think the key is paying $50 to speak with an Apple Support person that will automatically fix your iPod two days later??? I still may send it in to be looked at, but everything appears to be fine for the time being… Strange…

Wednesday, October 16th, 2002

I found a picture on the web of Steve Jobs’ office at Pixar… I believe it’s a screenshot from the Monsters, Inc. “Extras” dvd. Nice Eames chairs and Xootr!

I knew this guy was cool! :)

Just under the radar…

Tuesday, October 15th, 2002

My iPod “up and died” on me today… Don’t know what went on or happened, but it won’t turn on (even with a two fingered salute!)…

After calling Apple Support and subjecting myself to a $50 deposit as the support guy tried fixing it over the phone (if they fix it over the [...]

My Tivo Dreams Have Become Reality…

Monday, October 14th, 2002

So yesterday, as a compromise for saving lots of money and buying the cheaper (but still very nice) blinds for our house from Home Depot, I was able to persuade Liz into finally agreeing on purchasing a Tivo… Has it changed my life in the less than 24 hours since I purchased it? [...]

The Lost Art Of The Mix-Tape…

Saturday, October 12th, 2002

So Liz, Myself, Geno and Ang are on our way to the little Oktoberfest in our happy little town… As we’re driving, we’re listening to a mix-tape (an actual tape!) that Geno’s brother Christopher made for him. Very cool tape with lots of obscure/funky songs…

We got to talking about how unbelievably “retro” it [...]

humanclock.com

Friday, October 11th, 2002

What a cool site! :)

www.humanclock.com is a website that is a collection of thousands of pictures of “time”. You configure your browser to say what timezone, etc you’re in and what type of clock you want to see (analog or digital)… In turn, you can have a “clock” that is [...]
