Technical insanity at its best!

Entries for September, 2006

iPod Video

So I finally got myself one of those iPod videos. I got the 60 GB model and couldn’t be more happy. I ended up finding a used one from someone that wanted to upgrade to the new 80 GB models. I never thought I would use that much space but now I’m not so sure […]

Target takes advantage of their “sheep” shoppers

As some of you may know, Bismarck is getting a Super Target or Grand Target or some kinda Target to replace our not-so-grand Target. In hopes of clearing the shelves so they do not have to move as much they are using tactics such as “temporary price cut” stickers and sign that amount to minuscule […]

Thoughts on the Iraqi War

This was passed onto me today and I love the response! One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes, telling me how people shake their hands, […]

Getting Ready for Winter

Not much going on here thats newsworthy. Just getting ready for winter by winterizing all the toys (camper, jet skis, pool, sprinklers…) I got a new camera last weekend (Canon SD450) which I really like. Check my flickr account for some new photos. Technorati : camera, camping, canon, sd450, winter

iTunes 7 crashes on Win XP Pro VM

Apple announced the release of iTunes 7 today. I installed it on a Windows XP Pro virtual machine to see what all the fuss was about and it looks pretty spiffy at first glance. I then clicked on the “movies” link in the iTunes store and the whole app crashed. Apparently we need to wait […]

Apple Movie Store

Apple will announce the release of its movie store today. If the quoted prices (~$15/movie) are correct I think they are in for a surprise in the lack of sales. Why would I pay $15 for a movie that I can buy at Walmart for the same and have on DVD with all the trailers, […]

Trump fired Carolyn

I found it interesting that the Donald fired his right hand man, I mean woman. I guess no one is safe! Technorati : Donald, apprentice, trump

Another one bites the dust

Word on the street is that Jason and Kristy are now engaged. Congrats to both of you! Sorry Jason I couldn’t find a photo of you two together but I thought this picture of Kristy and Russ at Sarah and Brenden’s Wedding was amusing and would do the job! Technorati : engagement, life, wedding

College president tells it like it is

Finally someone who shares my point of view about money pits college.

RIM announces the Blackberry Pearl

Today is a good day so far. RIM announced the Blackberry Pearl. For those of you who don’t know, I am an avid Blackberry loser user and would not give it up for any other phone. Now the Pearl adds the one thing I have been missing, a camera! I can’t wait to get one […]
