rants, raves, and stuff.
So yeah, I’m a monitor junkie.
As if it’s not bad enough that I work with 3 monitors, I recently got the Dell 3008WFP 30″ monitor. I’ve only had it for a week so far, but wrote up a mini-review with pics and added it to the tutorial page at my website.
Check it out the review [...]
Somebody at work posted a link to this video, and I think it’s pretty awesome.
World Builder from Bruce Branit on Vimeo.
The live action was shot in a day, and then about 2 years was spent in post production. (!)

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 [...]
I’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).

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.

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 [...]
I’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 [...]
