I don't think today could get much worse.
On top of everything else, I got a bad disk. But I'm a good techno-weenie so I had a nice tasty backup nearby. I even had a spare disk in the closet. Unfortunately, Linux Volume Manager is not happy about the fact that I have a Physical Volume [...]

UPDATE: This day isn't going to work. How about this one instead?
Jess and I planning to host a "Welcome back to Texas" party. If the going away party wasn't without enough purpose, this one will be filled with even less, and, in my mind, that makes it even better.
Tentatively we're looking at the evening of [...]

In order to get the most flexibility out of my Blackberry, I've decided to move my mail over to Yahoo.com since they are currently the only non-corporate email system that works in flawless two-way synchronization with the Blackberry.
So my personal account is on Yahoo while my Web account is still on the server. This way [...]

This morning I'm editing photos for the paying job from last weekend. Not fun but a required evil.
Then I'll clean up the living room fun last nights mess making extravaganza and maybe try one more layout that I've been considering. I'm just going to pile up the heavy furniture that needs to be moved and [...]

I have a new phone email address. Well, no. I have a new way of getting email to my phone and I've now altered the old address to use the new method.
If you'd like to help me test it, that'd be great. Just locate or create a recording of yourself making lewd sounds or [...]

I've photographed with Nikon cameras for over 10 years now. Sure, that's not nearly as many years as some of the outstanding photographers using this equipment today, but I'd like to think that 10 years not only marks me as a loyal customer but also means that I might know a thing or two about [...]

So yeah. Yesterday, I broke down and bought a Blackberry Pearl which came highly recommended by more people than I can count. While there, I was very tempted by the new Blackberry Curve, which was just released that day. However, the few features it offered didn't warrant the $100 difference in price and I was [...]

"Oh baby! Just looking at the big sexy thing gives me shivers all over. Oh my! Can I touch it? Pleeeease?"
Why yes. Yes you can. As long as I can touch yours too. It's only fair. Oh wait. You meant the TV?
I now have a big ass TV. You know, one of those ones [...]

Sit down for this one.
No, trust me. Sit down.
I still have a 27″ TV.
There! I said it! Are you happy now?!?
But it's time for change. I'm in the market for a new television for my living room. I have a guess regarding what I need/want, and I hope those of you who know more about [...]

Considering that my current mobile phone simply isn't going to work (see "I hate Windows Mobile"), I'm exploring other options, but there aren't too many that appeal to me.
First, there's the Nokia E61i. Though I haven't actually touched one and I don't know anyone who owns one, on paper, this seems like the best option. [...]
