So we were in Las Vegas a little while back for my cousin’s wedding and Cisco was in town, so of course we couldn’t help ourselves when we saw the giant Cisco sign. Had to get a picture with it. Bryan got more adventurous than I did. But I like this one. I added some…

What the hell. We bought a Honda Insight this year for the long haul treks to work, what I didn’t expect was that the car would need to be rebooted. Seriously. I’m driving along and XM stops working. Normally I’m not really worried about it, but I was listening to something I really wanted to…

Not surprising I know, but I do. I’m not great at video games, but I’m not the worst either. I play my Wii and I like puzzle games… what surprises me is my fascination with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. I played The Call of Duty series as a first person shooter single player…

I’m also remembering what a pain some things can be when installing from source. My latest adventure has been installing Pidgin’s OTR plugin. I…

I’m at an impass. I’m pleased with the way my NetBook is working with OpenGEU an yet I’m frustrated at the same time. This is the first time in a VERY VERY long time that I’ve used Linux for a desktop. It’s really come a long way since then and it’s very usable. The problem…

I was a copy-cat a few months ago and bought a NetBook. I got the ASUS EeePC 901. it has a solid state hard drive and it’s about the size of a large paperback. I love it and it worked great for me when I went to a SANS training at the RSA Conference in…

I grabbed my rollerblades out of the closet this morning, so that I could blade the river trail after work today. As I went to toss them onto the truck seat a piece of plastic fell to the ground. I didn’t think much of it, they’re old blades and I figured that I could just…
