An Apple A Day
The reward for winning my fantasy football championship was a brand new 40 GB 4th generation iPod. It’s my first Apple product, and I must say I am very impressed. I’ve already transfered over a ton of music, and the scrollable click wheel lets me navigate from Alice in Chains to U2 with ease. I…

Event ID 51
It seems I’ve been having some back luck with our PCs as of late. I was getting an event id 51 on one of them and it was insufferably slow to do anything on it. The error was appearing in the system log file every three or so seconds so the PC was spending all…

Haven’t Seen For Awhile
As you probably noticed, we haven’t posted in awhile, and the site has been up and down more than the stock market lately. It was frustrating trying to figure out exactly what the problem was – banging my head against the proverbial wall – when after talking to some co-workers, I finally figured it out.…

Map Your Travels
Here’s something that I thought was just cool: a map of every state that I’ve visited. There’s alot in the Mid-West and West that I’ve yet to visit, but I’ve got most of the East Coast locked up pretty well (except for a few in New England). Would be nice to say that you’ve visited…

Hackbox
So I finally decided to hack my xbox. For those not aware, to hack your xbox, you have to disassemble it, solder in a modchip, and then reassemble it. It’s that easy. 🙂 Actually, I had never soldered before and the thought of it seemed quite daunting, but after much research and some practice on…

Invitational Reinforcement
Not been too much going on here as of late. Just been really busy with the wedding and other stuff. Doesn’t make for much of a blog if there’s nothing to read, right? So on Sunday, we’re putting together our wedding invitations. I’ve just printed out the directions and start to fold them to put…

American Hacker
Thought this was pretty funny. At the time of this post, the english al-jazerra site has been hacked. For some reason, I don’t think the US gov’t will be looking into this any time soon. In case it’s already been fixed, you can see a screen shot of what it looked like here.

Burn, Baby, Burn
Yeah, I know, I’m a big slacker for not posting much lately. What’s my excuse? We’ve been very busy. And I’m lazy. So no snow the last two weeks and it’s been wonderful. Who knew no snow could be so much fun? There’s still a few piles of it on the ground, but things are…

TiVolicious
Snow update: about four or five inches on the ground currently. Still snowing pretty heavily so we’ll get some more accumulation today. I just love shoveling snow every week. On a good note, I figured out how to extract video from my TiVo. It’s incredibly easy. After fiddling with a program called TiVoApp, I finally…

White Trash Christmas
Updated the about us page. Also did btss (behind the scenes stuff in case you haven’t been keeping up). What is it with people still having Christmas lights up? And they’re still turning them on even! It’s two weeks into the new year, people! I don’t consider our neighborhood white trash, but, come June, I…
