iPhone 4.0: Updating an iPhone 3GS (32GB)
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No CommentsI’ve been fairly happy with the iPhone 3GS since I purchased it in August 2009. While the device is imperfect (as virtually every phone is) it has been a reasonable device when it comes to keeping up to date on e-mail, calendar management and casual... -
Vinturi Wine Aerator
Posted on April 17, 2009 | No CommentsIt is Friday evening, 6:30 and I’m at work. And frankly, I don’t regret it, lots to do and not enough time. On a more positive note I got a Vinturi Wine Aerator for my birthday last week, and have only had one chance to... -
Morning Industry Deadbolts
Posted on March 27, 2009 | No CommentsAbout a year ago I decided I wanted to install a dead bolt that would permit me to have “keyless” access to the house. I’m a big fan of my X-10 system (not because of the technology, but because of the solution) where I can... -

Posted on March 26, 2009 | No CommentsUMR was extremely generous with his time and his second XEON CPU this week, with a little nudging we got the beast running. Slick piece of hardware, the highlight being the Adaptec “Cylon” lighting on the RAID card. It took almost a full 24 hours... -
Rogue Whiskey, Gin and Rum
Posted on March 25, 2009 | No CommentsIf you’re a beer brewer, at some point you have to have considered what would happen if you took some of your raw materials and went one step (or a couple steps) further and produced a distilled spirit. That’s what the good folks over at... -
Hot or not?

Windows Sensor and Location Platform
Posted on March 23, 2009 | No CommentsI haven’t taken a deep-dive yet, but on the surface I’m really impressed with the capabilities and direction of the WIndows Sensor and Location platform that is introduced in Windows 7. The basic premise is that the platform (i.e. WIndows) should provide a basis for... -
last.fm
Posted on March 23, 2009 | No CommentsI’ve recently taken a bit of a liking to Last.fm. At work I elected to upgrade my primary workstation from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 R2. The upgrade was welcome as my orignal build-out was suffering from a host of problems. My plan...
