  1. WordPress Web Development

    I’m so glad that I’ve found WordPress; not only for my hobby of blogging but it really has been such an educational experience over the last few years for my development. As far as personal web development; I’m not even close to what I want to know about web development or web programming, I’ll probably…

  2. Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 Noise Cancelling Headphones

    Purchased the ATH-ANC7s a couple weeks back and they’re the first pair of “real” headphones I’ve ever purchased over $40. At first I was looking at the Bose QC headphones but I couldn’t rationalize a $300 purchase. Instead I bought some Sony headphones a year ago and they’ve suited me enough to not really care…

  3. Yahoo! Pipes

    I created my first Yahoo! Pipe and I’m impressed with how easy it was. My first pipe involves manipulating my Pownce feed with a few regex expressions to include the post link and the comment count in the description of the item. And most noticeably I’ve taken out the “DANCAMERON:” from the title. The reasoning:…

  4. Linux vs. Mac

    This has got to be the best review/article on the age old debate of Linux vs. Mac. The article is extensive but the conclusions on the topic mimic my sentiments exactly. In the following pages, they lead a guided tour of the two OSes, paying particular attention to eight important areas: Installation & Migration; Hardware…

  5. H.264 vs. MPEG4 for iPods

    Looks like the community is getting a new version of Handbrake to support 640x H.264 and the news got out even though it’s not a final release and users are warning people not to use it. But I still don’t get the big deal with H.264. Even thought I need to go through this post…

  6. Microsoft’s Xbox Live Video

    Microsoft’s Xbox Live Video: HDTV and HD movie downloads for your 360 – Engadget The service is called Xbox Live Video, and the fall update enables customers to spend their Microsoft points on standard and HD television from CBS, MTV, Comedy Central, VH1, Turner, and UFC, as well as HD movies from Warner Bros., Paramount,…

  7. Wii vs. 360

    I just can’t figure out what to do. Either return the 360 and get the Wii (if I can) or just keep the 360. I just made a spreadsheet for cost comparison, I guess I need to do a matrix for pros and cons now. My hope is the Wii will make us want to…

  8. New iPod

    So I bought the new iPod, I’ve had it a week and it’s pretty cool. Honestly there’s no difference except the very noticeable screen brightness which helps at work. The search feature is awesome, but until I actually find myself using it it’s just another feature not to get excepted about. Oh, the headphones are…

  9. Gizmo Follow-up and tutorial

    Following my previous post I set out to get it straightened out this weekend and after hours and hours of messing with my Sipura Phone Adapter’s configuration I figured out Gizmo’s 775 service doesn’t work with hardware. I looked for hours on “one-way” calling problems with “no voice on receive” and I finally found at…

  10. mailto: Links

    Did I ever say that I hate mailto: links. I can’t claim to be a professional web developer or designer and definitely not a standards compliant coder but it just drives me batty when I see these things, even worse then tables. What standard can we deem them as non-compliant? My suggested alternatives. Mailforms are…
