Seriously trivial thoughts
I just gotta get this off my chest. How stoopid and shortsighted is our government? I can’t believe they didn’t thoroughly think through the implications of changing daylight savings time. It’s like adding a 13th month! It just shows how far behind the people are that run our country are. 20 years ago, maybe, its …
PalmAddicts has a very nice interview with Palm Founder, Jeff Hawkins. It is very timely for me–and prolly others–in that lately I’ve felt sort of abandoned by Palm and wondered if the TX was the end of the line. Was it time to move to a M$ pocket PC? I had very similar feelings prior …
I often use SmbMate, a freeware app, to copy files from/to network shares via WiFi. This of course requires the proper Windows file shares and wireless network access. If I’m at work I connect my TX with the USB cable and use Softick’s Card Export II which makes my TX act like a USB flash …
Well, with my new red ’07 350Z convertible on its way, I knew I needed a Bluetooth headset that would work well with he top down. CNet had a review of the Aliph Jawbone headset ($119.99) and I rushed over to the Cingular right after I watched it. It supposedly has incredible noise canceling abilities …
Yeah, yeah, I know I was previously touting the Rio Forge as the perfect podcast mp3 player, well i have changed my tune so to speak. I now find that my trusty Palm T|X is actually the best. There are two things that have just been nagging at me after using the Forge for several …
OK, I’m watching episode 142 of the DL.TV video podcast and they start talking about the “wipes” (i.e., video transitions) that their NewTek Tricaster can do. They show a few and all of a sudden, the one I did in 2000 appears! It’s not “cheeseball” as they describe. It’s cool! HAHAHA I was their Documentations …
I’ve had two XM portable devices. I sold one and haven’t used the other in months. I also doubt I’ll renew my subscription. Initially, Years ago, I thought this was a wonderful service: hundreds of channels, weather, traffic, comedy, commercial free, etc. I soon found out that there were really only a handful of stations …
My first unit had a defect in the screen and when I took it back, CompUSA didn’t have any more units. Initially, I took this as a sign that I didn’t really need one, but that didn’t last and I got a credit to my charge card and ordered another at a different store for …
OK, I finally bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on an Nokia N800 Internet Tablet. I’ll be honest; I was an owner of the prior version, the 770, but sold it after only a few months. Why? The main reason was the lack of Flash support. Supposedly, that deficiency has been fixed in the …
I have been predicting this for many years. In my opinion, California (or any of the largest states) would never join the group trying to standardize sales taxes and, thusly, begin to tax Internet sales. Looks like, for once, I was right. On the face if it, it sounds stupid for CA to not want …
