Wordpress iPhone

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Oh Baby OH! Firefox 3 on OSX

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I downloaded the just released Firefox 3 browser today, and just had to remark about how nicely it looks on Mac OSX - it’s really a thing of beauty.  It looks much better than the way it does on my Windows machine.  I might have to switch to it from Safari as my main browser, [...]

Sirius customer service - from bad to good

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

My Sirius Stiletto 10 radio, has this lousy habit of stuttering, and then rebooting itself. I’ve only had it since March, when I decided to get it to replace my sturdy S50. When I first set it up, I dutifully installed the Sirius Studio software, and upgraded the firmware on the SL10 to [...]

Macbook Pro sudden power off

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

A technical issue has been driving me nuts lately, my Macbook Pro will suddenly shut itself off while I’m running on battery power, even though the battery meter will show that there is plenty of life left in the battery. No warning message, nothing.
Sometimes as much as 40%+ When it powers off, it’s not [...]

The Web is a wonderful thing

Sunday, November 14th, 2004

Last I night I scored a great deal on an iSight camera at CompUSA. Charlie and I also stopped by the used CD store at his request, and we picked up Green Day’s “Nimrod”, and I found Nitzer Ebb’s “Belief”. I had to listen to it before deciding to purchase it, since I recalled the [...]
