Monthly Archives: March 2005


OK, so I’m totally going to the right school. This morning I woke up with an idea – figure out a way to use an iSight camera not as a webcam but as a direct video feed, which can then be used as a video desktop. You know, so when you’re horribly frustrated with work […]

So good old Min Jung Kim pinged me with a friend request for Yahoo! 360°, and like a good little technology ho, I signed up. For a couple of minutes I was thoroughly annoyed at the idea that I would have to reconfigure everything, start a new blog, start a new photo album service… “Screw […]

So I spent a big chunk of this afternoon trying to get my Quicken for Mac up to date, and once again I was floored by how utterly broken it is. Much like my utterly abysmal experience with QuickBooks for the Mac, Quicken is riddled with problems and errors, and they’re bloody blatant to boot. […]

Sunday’s mental and physical conditions were all over the map, including two or three heavy-duty naps, one point where I totally zoned out while sitting in my parked car for a good fifteen minutes, and now I’m sitting here at […]

So as I mentioned in my last post, I’ve once again been bitten by the health bug. The wheels on the bike go round and round, and the gray metal dumbbells go up and down. I’ve also been investing some money in various pieces of equipment. Last fall I bought some Nike ACG equipment, including […]

So SXSW is going on right now. I wish I were there. I especially wish I were there because it’s currently thirty-four degrees and blustery in Chicago. That said, I suppose it’s a good thing I didn’t go this time, because I’m busy as all get out right now. Nothing new, right? Some days I […]
