Gallery Additions Comments Off

After a disappointing 0-3 loss last week, Autumn’s Ruby Rockets soccer team was able to “win 1-0″:/gallery/album33 against the Golden Eagles for the second time. Not many photos to show because when I’m in control of the camera I’m too busy cheering and screaming to take photos. Mommy was too busy chatting.
Aiden “loves [...]

Fearless Install 4

After worrying about what could happen with installing Panther on the family G4, turns out everything went very well. I selected the “Archive & Install” option with the migrate Users/ and Network Settings box checked. The install took about 40 minutes (long enough to watch Survivor on TiVo) and spanned 3 discs (I [...]

Throwing Caution To The Wind 2

I “mentioned yesterday”:/archives/2003/10/23/12.50.55/ that I wouldn’t be installing Panther on day one. Who am I kidding, forget that, I’m installing it once I get the chance (which may not be tonight as I’m going to Autumn’s school hoedown). Why miss out on some of the new features even though some existing applications may break. [...]

Nine Months And Counting Comments Off

Aiden will be 9 months old tomorrow. Boy has time flied. Feels almost like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital and I had 3 weeks off… oh wait, that can’t be right.

In honoring my monthly photo gallery updates, I’ve added more photos to “Aiden’s October gallery”:/gallery/album30 and will add [...]

My Panther Has Shipped 2

Soon I will the proud owner of a new Panther as I received shipping notification early today. Of course, it’s not a real Panther, but in fact the latest upgrade to the “Mac OS X operating system”:http://www.apple.com/macosx/.
Although I’m very glad to finally be able to own the latest and greatest for the minds at [...]

Love The iTunes Music Store Comments Off

Windows users just don’t know how lucky they are to be able to use the iTMS (iTunes Music Store) until they try it. “Walter Mossberg’s latest column”:http://ptech.wsj.com/archive/solution-20031022.html is dead on with his review of the new iTMS plus two other competing services. Although, I don’t think Walter realizes that even though you can’t [...]

Medical Records Held Hostage Comments Off

I normally don’t post this kind of stuff due to my own self censorship policy on this topic. However, since I feel that what happened in “this case”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/10/22/MNGCO2FN8G1.DTL is very important to everyone, I thought I’d share.
We all have visited the doctor, dentist, or some medical facility at least once in our lives (I [...]

OMG… G4 iBooks! 2

Apple has done what nobody thought was possible (including myself), added the Power PC G4 processor into the new “iBook”:http://www.apple.com/ibook/. We’re not talking about techincal impossibilities, more like marketing. Why would Apple want to sell an 800mhz G4 iBook with DVD/CDRW for $1099? Heck the top of the line iBook is the [...]

It’s A Me, Mario! Comments Off

Alright! Someone at Nintendo finally figured it all out by releasing an original Super Mario game with new features! That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the newest addition to the Game Boy Advance Super Mario remakes is none other than the all-time number one selling Mario game, “Super Mario Bros. 3″:http://www.gameboy.com/supermarioadvance4/ (named Super Mario [...]

Nokia N-Gage Bombs 4

Oh yes… Nokia shouldn’t play with fire, especially when it’s in the form of Nintendo’s Game Boy system.

The Nokia “N-Gage sold a meager 5,000 units”:http://ngage.ign.com/articles/455/455699p1.html in it’s first week at retail in the United States. Ouch! Add the lowly “500 sold in United Kingdom”:http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/33405.html, Nokia must be thrilled to have sold 5,500 [...]
