Stargate on Blu-ray

March 25, 2007

Last night I watchd Stargate on Blu-ray. It looked really good, but I’m wondering why the heck the subtitles didn’t show up when they were talking “Egyptian”. I had to manually turn them on, which of course, then gave me subtitles when they were saying everything. Scanning the web this seems to be an issue [...]

Hey! That ain’t right!

March 19, 2007

Check out this picture. On the left, Konfabulator/Yahoo! Widgets. On the right, an Apollo sample. As you can see, they stole our images verbatim. Not cool. I should point out that their Widget takes 26MB of RPRIV on Mac OS X, our Weather Widget takes 3MB. Booyah. Yeah, i know it’s alpha, but still.

It’s been a while…

March 12, 2007

I’ve been away from blogville lately, and it’s not from lack of caring. I’ve been incredibly busy on our imminent Yahoo! Widgets 4 release. It’s going to be pretty kick-ass if I do say so myself. Does it do everything I’d like it to? No. Will it in the future? You betcha! But this post [...]

Lenovo Strikes Back!

February 4, 2007

So, if you read my previous post about my Lenovo fun, you’d know that I had a tablet PC on order. BTW, noone ever responded to my nastygram that I sent them. They are swell people. But anyway, as of late I’ve been thinking maybe I don’t really need a tablet and I should get [...]

Battlestar Galactica Theories

January 22, 2007

Last night I was watching BSG and as they were talking about seeing the faces of the 5 cylons, I all of a sudden had this weird OMG moment where I realized that the temple was called the Temple of Five. It cannot be a coincidence that the same temple where the hybrid tells Baltar [...]

Did I Mention XCode Sucks?

January 17, 2007

OK, so tonight I’m trying to get some work done. I’ve been annoyed that command double-click doesn’t work, so I figure out code sense isn’t turned on. I turn it on… crash. OK. Restart the app, open the project… crash. Third time’s a charm tho, so I open it again… crash. This is single-handedly the [...]

Vista on MacBook Pro II

January 4, 2007

I now have Vista running a bit better on my MacBook Pro. But the journey was long and arduous and fraught with peril. I didn’t actually set out to get everything working better. In fact, all I really wanted was a slightly larger partition. I was running out of room since I only had made [...]

I’m Turning Green

January 3, 2007

Lately I’ve been trying to do what I can to help out with this whole global warming thing. For one, I’ve just got myself a new Prius. This car is awesome. Not only is the technology of the car very cool, but the tech inside the car is quite nice too. It has the best [...]
