A friend sent word that you can now put a full linux desktop (KDE) on the Nokia N810 tablet. This was in an effort to convince me to buy an N810. Check out the video and screenshots and the how to. This is already a pretty sweet little device and this just makes it even…
Tonight I picked up the Family Guy Blue Harvest Special Edition dvd set. This is the Family Guy version of Star Wars that opened the current season and was fantastic. It comes with a digital copy of the episode that you can use on your computer – and it’s Mac compatible for a change! Strangely,…
I can’t remember where I first saw it, but a long time ago I came across an article that suggested putting that old flatbed scanner to use as a camera to take interesting pictures of three dimensional objects. Doing a quick Google search turns up tons of hits on the subject but the best name…
So yesterday, I said to not buy anything from Apple because today they’d be possibly announcing some new products. Well they did indeed announce a few new things and I bought one of them, the MacBook Air: It had been long rumoured that Apple would release a sub-notebook and I had guessed that it would…
My buddy Duane is cooking up a cool idea currently called BeerCamp which seems appropriate to me since we met over beers at the SuperHappyDevHouse last year. The idea is that a bunch of people camp out for the weekend with the goal of creating a company from scratch during that weekend. Head over to…

Don’t buy anything Apple related today…wait until tomorrow which is when Steve Jobs will most likely announce an update to whatever you bought today, thereby making you mad at me for not telling you when (and what)…
Shane and I seem to live in parallel worlds with a few differences. We both are pretty hard core nerd/geek types that like our gadgets. We both have blogs. In Shane’s world, he has a cute pug named Serendipity. Sadly, I do not have a dog (but would like one). In my world, I have…
Since everyone is doing it, I thought I should do the same although I have a hard time putting them in some kind of order…so they aren’t! Here is my list of the random things from last year that stood out to me in no particular order: my iPhone – in case you haven’t noticed,…
This is REALLY cool. Take your iPhone and hold it up to a speaker/radio/etc playing nearly any song and run Erica Sudun’s insane new app, Listen. It will ‘sample’ whatever is near the iPhone’s microphone and after a couple of seconds will display the song, artist and album of whatever it heard. I’ve had about…
…using a StealthSIM: A friend purchased an iPhone as a Christmas present for someone but since it was the 1.1.2 version firmware (purchased from an Apple store in early December), it couldn’t be unlocked via (currently available) software methods. So that someone got a really nice iPod under the tree. It was decided shortly after…
