Dear ActiveSync…

Monday, September 25th, 2006

You suck.

You see, you’ve jacked up my computer TWICE today by completely hosing all of my network connections. Looking back, I didn’t need you then and I still don’t need you. You made it seem like you were going to solve all of my problems, but after a quick reboot you turned on [...]

It’s a good week to be a nerd

Monday, September 11th, 2006

Between tomorrow’s pending Apple announcements (come on Airport Express w/Video and/or any form of video integration with a TV ~ I’ve been waiting for “this” Airport for years!) and Thursday’s Nintendo announcements (come on Wii in October for $150!), it’s a good week to be such a nerd that I feel like it’s Christmas Eve [...]

Matt has saved the Tao of Regular Expressions. I have used this once or twice in my day and now know where I can always get it (without having to Google it)…

When you start dreaming that you’re blogging…

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Over this past weekend, I had two of the strangest dreams that I can remember. I guess they’re not really strange (at least to me) as they are extremely detailed. In these dreams I found myself typing out blog posts on this site. They were very surreal in that I remember key [...]
