After my long rant about the iPad vs the Kindle and how I don’t understand who Apple’s target audience is, you might call me a hypocrite. I can live with that.
Don’t get me wrong. I still think the Kindle is a better device for reading eBooks. Also, I won’t be buying one. [...]

Here’s a copy & paste from my Craigslist ad:
I am selling a 32″ RCA HD TV/DVD combo with a Series 2 HD TiVo. I’ve also got the wireless network adapter for the TiVo unit.
I am only selling these items together – I will not separate them. Both items are in terrific condition and work as [...]

Back when I got my car stereo in 2005, I plugged a cord into the auxiliary input so that I could listen to my iPod on the car speakers. Since then, that cord has been dangling from a hole in the dashboard. It’s not pretty. I’ve been meaning to create my own [...]

I live in McKinney, TX and I was looking for an antenna that would get good reception of all the [...]
This is the 3rd and final installment in my “to tv or not to tv” series.
In a nutshell, I made the right choice. I’m not watching as much TV and I don’t miss it one bit. When I do watch TV, it’s usually a free podcast downloaded from the internet. I downloaded [...]

Let’s call this Part II of my previous post, “to TV or not to TV”.
After evaluating both Time Warner cable and AT&T U-verse, I made a decision. I’ve canceled both. I canceled AT&T last week, and Time Warner bit the dust today.
My primary reason for dumping AT&T was a technical one. The [...]

This is a test of the WordPress application for the iPhone. Pretty cool!

As many of you know, I’ve been debating over the past couple of months whether or not to cancel cable. If you really think about it, is TV really all that necessary? No…it’s not.
One of the large motivators is money. I can free up about $60-70 per month by canceling. That’s [...]

I’m going to go out on a pretty safe limb and predict that we’ll have walking, talking robots in the lifetime of the next generation (if not in my own lifetime).
