802.11n

There are apparently no 802.11n USB doohickeys that operate on the 5GHz spectrum AND work on OS X. There are a couple that support 802.11n on the 2.4GHz frequency range, but using 2.4GHz is what I am trying to avoid because there are about 75 million 802.11g networks reachable from our living room.
I guess [...]

The Mobile Web, indeed

This is crazy awesome. A guy by the name of Peter Rukavina has a web site being served from his mobile phone, a Nokia N95. You can even take a picture using the phone’s camera. Wow! Seriously, wow. I love it. This is nearly (just barely short) as cool [...]

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this [...]


Rebates via Amazon.com

They now [...]

Check out the awesome specs the original iMac had:

233 MHz PowerPC 750 (a.k.a. G3)
32 MB of PC-100 RAM (expandable [...]


Blurb in the Phoenix

My band, The Woodrow Wilsons, got mentioned in today’s Boston Phoenix. We’re playing next week (monday to be specific) at Band in Boston’s residency at PA’s Lounge in Somerville, and we got a mention in association with that.
WHEE!


It Blew My Mind. It Blew My Mind.

[Today's Big Thing]
I want to know what camera did this. Wow.
“It looks like footage from the most epic heavy metal music video of all time.”


Favre to the Jets

So Brett Favre just got traded to the Jets.
Ted Thompson just made the exclusive list of people I will immediately punch in the stomach if I ever meet them.
But hey, I guess it’s cool that I’ve never really felt too ingrained as a Patriots fan since moving here (the first Super Bowl winning team was [...]
