When you first think of the Playstation 3, you’re probably thinking about various games, or the people who play those games, or maybe even the diehard gamers that camped out in lines to get them when they first came out. While games and gamers are fun and all, wouldn’t it be cool if there was […]

How to Build Your Own Computer
Published 1 year, 8 months ago in Cool Computer Stuff and Photos. 0 CommentsI’ve been building my own systems for quite a few years now (actually, the thought occurs to me as I write this that the last computer I bought was my Amiga back in 1988 or so…ever since then I’ve built all my PC’s).
I recently built a new system and decided to photograph the entire process […]
TimeTo is a time management program that I’ve been using for a while now. At it’s heart, it’s a way to keep track of your schedule, with the usual support you’d expect for things like appoinments and alarms.
What sets it apart from the crowd is the fact that it automatically balances and updates your schedule […]
When it comes to computers, there’s probably nothing worse than a hard drive crash. Backing up data is one of those things that everybody means to do, but keeps forgetting about…until that fateful day when you turn on your computer and hear that dreaded click..click..click..as the heads on the drive try to read data.
Hard drives […]
Laptop goodness continues on a flight from Salt Lake City UT, to Burbank, CA. I feel like a kid in a candy store. I find myself wondering why I waited so long to get a laptop in the first place. Being that computers are such a part of my life now, it makes sense that […]
Ok, I gotta say this is the coolest thing in the world.
As I write this I am flying down the highway, a passenger on a trip from Elko, NV to Minden, NV to attend the wedding of Regina and her future husband. It’s about a 5 1/2 hour drive, and these road trips used to […]
The internet can be a pretty cool place. So many sites to check out, so many cool places to go. But it can also be annoying as hell at times. One of the most annoying things you’ll run into on a regular basis is the joy of filling out online forms.
Don’t you love it when […]
Skype is free till end of the year?
Published 2 years, 6 months ago in Cool Computer Stuff. 0 CommentsI’ve been using Skype for about 8 months or so. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s basically a phone service using your computer and the internet instead of a standard phone. If you talk to other people that have Skype installed, it’s free, and always has been.
If you want to use your computer to […]
Just Say No to MS Error Reporting
Published 2 years, 6 months ago in Cool Computer Stuff. 0 CommentsIf you work with a lot of different programs (or one that’s really buggy) there’s a good chance you’ve seen the Microsoft Error Reporting dialog.
It pops up whenever a program that you’re using crashes, and then asks if you want to send a report to Microsoft about it. If you’re someone that likes to send […]
I started computing with an Amiga 500 back around 1987. It wasn’t long before I realized I would need a program that would do a better job of letting me work with all those directories, documents, images and all the other various files that need to be organized and shuffled about. I found a great […]
