gdgt: finally live- kindof

DateWednesday, July 1, 2009 at 01:53PM

Infamous electronics duo Ryan Block and Peter Rojas of Gizmodo, Engadget and RCRDLBL fame have finally gone live with their new gadget social-networking site. I had a few minutes to register and start adding gadgets to my profile before the site was utterly crushed by an onslaught of gadget fans. At this point, it sortof works, but both Ryan and Peter have been tweeting about getting it worked out, saying they were getting "is roughly 3-5x our "even-that-will-never-happen" estimates".  Good for them.  The small preview of what I saw was pretty awesome, and I can't wait to delve in further.

In the mean time, check out this video featuring gadget babe Veronica Belmont about gdgt.

Nambu: My new favorite Twitter app

DateFriday, April 17, 2009 at 12:25PM

Nambu Interface

I've been using Nambu for a couple of days now to tweet, and it wipes the floor with Twitterific. Some of my favorite features:

 

  • Auto URL shortner
  • Easy replies, direct messages and re-tweets
  • Multiple viewing options
  • Clean and simple interface

 

Nambu is currently in beta for OS X 10.5, but is pretty stable and highly recommended.

Finally: I bought a MINI

DateFriday, April 10, 2009 at 02:20PM

My Bulldog

After falling in love during a test drive late last year, I knew I had to have a MINI Cooper S.  My friend Justin in DC has one and just raved about it.  After seeing one on a local car lot here in Wenatchee a month ago, my interest piqued again.  The one on the lot was overpriced and had fairly high miles.  After talking to Justin about the aforementioned MINI he sent me a ton of links on NAM for private party sales.  I found the one.  Red, just like my beloved tC (which I sold so we could go to Europe) and matte black rims. Perfect.

I feel I really lucked out on this bad boy.  Its F A S T.  202 whp to be exact (my tC was heavier, and had at least 20 less whp).  Thanks to the previous owner's (known by his peers as Baxter) well thought out upgrade process and a tune from RMW. Baxter needed to sell it to give him an edge in a contest he was selected to participate in with his (and now our) Credit Union.

So I met Baxter on a Saturday 3 weeks ago in Leavenworth, drove the MINI, and came home with it on Tuesday.  Its been a total blast, and I've even installed Cravenspeed's short shifter.  I've joined PSMini.org owners club, and have a few drives already planned as well as an install day in Olympia.

Its the beginning of a beautiful relationship! (yes, Sarah loves it too!).

MOTOR ON!

Dear Internet Explorer 6 Users

DateSaturday, December 6, 2008 at 06:52PM

UPGRADE YOUR BROWSERS. If ONLY for security reasons. IE 6 is 7+ years old, and IE 8 is currently available in beta.

Allow me to help:

Firefox: Fast, safe, updated all the time. Most popular alternative to IE.

Chrome: My new favorite browser for PC (when I am forced to use one). VERY fast, simple and Google.  I posted about my first impressions in September.

Safari: My browser of choice.  Also very fast, safe and a wonderful Apple experience.

If you must, download IE 7 or use your Windows Update (found in the start menu).

Have a favorite IE 6 alternative? Post up in the comments.
