0.67 technical posts

First off, completely non-technical, but a great short story (I am a *huge* Lovecraft fan) of the gruesome fate that awaits in the Pumpkin Patch . Scanning the rest of Strange Horizons, looks like I may have some reading for the upcoming long, dark nights.

Lean, Sublime Lines ???

One of Nokia's new phones doesn't have a keypad. Instead : "The sleek and sexy Nokia 7280 offers a completely new mobile phone design, foregoing the traditional keypad for a discreet keyless dial. A fine lacquer-inspired high-gloss finish, complemented

Third verse is the same as the first (just in reverse)

In the ongoing serial drama I call Petard , the latest episode had Petard blow a power supply a few nights ago (at least that's what I and D think is the problem). Fortunately, NewEgg has a decent return policy (and pretty good prices if you're looking

Interesting music search site

Cool search tool that lets you find musical groups similar to ones you search for - even creates a cute Flash view of the results. TTFN - Kent

Stick this on your USB drive...

While it's not UT2004 , this game does have one advantage -- it's 96KB. When was the last time you could say that? They even had to lower the resolution of the screenshots of it on the home page, as they were actually larger than the game. Now you can

Weapons o' the future now

In case you feel like reading about the weapons you'll likely be using in some new (soon) video game, here 's an interesting, and often frightening set of descriptions, videos and more about some nasty stuff. Special guest appearance by a now retro Pocket

Cthulhu slippers!

Oh, my GAAWD!!!!! For someone who read everything he could find written by H.P. Lovecraft, these are must haves! Check out the rest of the stuff as well. Now I have to figure out how to pay for these. Thank you Christa ! TTFN - Kent [Listening to: Beata

Retro bike redux

Schwinn has created a new, retro-styled bike that comes pretty close to my first bike , but this one is pretty cool. The only problems I can think of having it are: I certainly couldn't/wouldn't be doing the STP on it (not like I will anyway) I'd be forced

Think different

Had my first Apple Store experience on Friday. Ms. Simon's iBook was having issues [1], so we took it in. Our genius, Rob, didn't even make a snide reference to the assorted logowear I had on. Not a flicker from the, “No, we don't have AppleCare

Shopping for a new gadget?

Brighthand has a nice look forward to upcoming handhelds and smart phones. Best look at it before you go out and buy something currently available. TTFN - Kent PS: Trying to convince myself to buy a new phone. Or maybe a handheld. Thoughts?

[OT] My Sad SATA Saga

In a bizarro-World event that I'm still trying to rationalize, my wife reminded me that I haven't bought a desktop computer for about 5 years. It's not overly slow (1.6GHz), but I figured I'd take advantage of the situation and pick up a new machine .

XAML keyboard

Amazingly enough, my very first Longhorn-related posting. Scott has designed the XAML keyboard we'll all be using in 2004 , er 2008 , er soon . TTFN - Kent Disclaimer : I have no clue when Longhorn is going to ship. Really. I just picked those dates out

Gadget review: Rio Karma

I bought myself yet another gadget in the hopes that shallow commercialism would cheer me up. In the interests of public safety, and reaching out to the other gadget geeks I'm sure are out there, here are my first impressions (after only a couple of days

Bandwidth

I've been thinking a lot about bandwidth these days. First, last Wednesday, my cable modem started to act up. It would work for a while, then begin endless cycles of restarting itself. First an hour of work, then 1/2 an hour, then on Saturday, it was
