If you have HD direct feeds of Sega Lindbergh (or even more elusive, Europa-R), I’m willing to pay top dollar for them. HoTD 4, After Burner Climax, and Sega Rally 3 are mostly what I’m after.
Obviously, you’d probably have to work for Sega to have access to this, it’s not something they put on their [...]

GM has decided to cut the fuel tank capacity of the Chevy Volt, down from 600 miles to a paltry 360 miles.
I haven’t talked about cars much on this blog until now, but I’m an avid car enthusiast. It runs in the family. Maybe I’ll take you on a tour of the family garage someday.
I will [...]

Burning some midnight oil, I got the jobs page finished for PhoneNews.com.
And, I did drop a couple of positions onto it that actually aren’t related to PhoneNews.com. They’re for that super-secret wave of new projects in the hopper for next month.
Which jobs are which? Sorry, that’s for me to know, and you to find out. [...]

I’ve added an anonymous contact form to the blog. If you want to message me directly, for any reason, use that form.
Keep in mind though, if you want me to reply, you do need to provide a valid email or phone number.

One thing I didn’t realize with my new TiVo, was that it doesn’t update itself as part of the setup process.
This actually may have caused a lot of the snags with my CableCARD setup yesterday. As TiVo notes in a buried support article, the TiVo won’t update to the latest software until two days after [...]

We’re one hour into Comcast’s debacle of getting a CableCARD into my TiVo HD. The process started a little before 2 PM.
Mind you, I avoided all the early adopter problems… or so I thought. The TiVo HD crashed once on the CableCARD pulling in data, and I’m convinced the first card is toast (based on [...]

It seems that WordPress 2.5.1 may not be as bug-free as everyone hoped.
I’m currently having a bad caching issue with WordPress and a new site that I’m working on. Basically, I upload a changed theme file… and the changes aren’t updated. It’s caching the old copy, and I’ve tried just about everything in the book [...]

Wow, this is not a good week for me and technology. First MSN Direct Smart Watches, and now, Adobe GoLive.
To be honest, I haven’t used GoLive in a long time. The rise of Content Management Systems has really insulated me from web design. I find that making static pages is an inefficient method of web [...]

For the next several weeks (about 10), I will be hopelessly overworked in general. Broad, sweeping changes (like the new look and feel for the blog) will have to be delayed until mid-to-late June. Sorry folks.
Hopefully posting won’t be affected, but I am really overworked right now, so if you haven’t seen a blog post [...]

Go grab AirPort & Time Machine Updates 1.0. It does what I’ve been railing Apple to fix (as well as many others)… and they have. Time Machine backups now succeed on AirPort Disk drives, connected to an AirPort Extreme base station.
Enjoy, consumer advocacy in action.
Update: There is also a corresponding firmware update for AirPort Extreme [...]
