Interesting interview with founders of The Pirate Bay...

This article is an interesting read . I really appreciate that these guys don't hide under rocks and are accessible. I would really enjoy seeing them speak at a conference.   Cheers!

My awesome laptop....times 2...

I have had a Lenovo T61p laptop for almost a year now. This is absolutely the best laptop I have ever used (no...it is not the laptop that has given me so much grief for the past few weeks). The T61p is used as my demo platform when I am in front of audiences

Native Blu-Ray support in Windows?

While posting my previous article, my eye caught a link on the PCPro.uk site stating "Microsoft bulks up Windows with Blue-ray support" . The article says we are developing a feature pack that will add native support for burning to Blu-Ray media

Tech News and stuff.....

I didn't receive nearly as much feedback to my question about where you get your news from as I wish I had so I had to go looking on my own. One thing I realized is that I do not spend enough time at the on10 and TechNet EDGE sites . Sure...these sites

Just squeaked that one in.....

So I am writing up the previous post, trying to be witty, collecting links and all that rot, thinking I have plenty of time to beat my midnight blog post deadline...... I work better with looming deadlines anyway. I highlighted my Stewed Prunes reference

Ugh......the Olympics......

Up in smoke, absolutely modulus, and how I am not going to write you a love song....

I grew up partly in the 70's. Every now and then a radio station would play a snippet of a Cheech and Chong album. My mom snuck me in to see Up in Smoke when I was 13. I have seen all of the movies and used to have many of the C and C albums. I have always

There is a reason it's called "RAM"....

....because that must be how it has to be installed. I have a laptop that I am not particularly fond of. This happens to be my second of the exact same model. The first had some serious hardware issues resulting in me swapping for my current laptop. Again...same

What News sites do you read?

I want to expand my horizons. I have spent years reading MSNBC.com articles. I like the format of the site and the reporting is what I would expect from any news organization. I also watch SlashDot and Techmeme. I am not giving up on those sites. I just

Have I mentioned Guitar Hero recently?

Of course I have. But I wanted to point out an article I stumbled on today. It's an article on how Guitar Hero is taking on iTunes. Go read it then come back for my commentary. The article seems to suggest that Guitar Hero song downloads could be a viable
