Lately I have been playing a lot of Magic: The Gathering. While most people who play the game are content to go to a shop and play with paper cards, I’m much more geeky than that, and don’t really have the time to go to a game store. I play on the Magic [...]

Today I was reminded about a thought I was having earlier this year by a twitter from Garrick Van Buren about the new ultra-thin MacBooks. It seems altogether likely that the next laptop computer that I buy will have no moving parts. Currently the only moving parts in the MacBook that I have [...]
Life is pretty hectic around here with multiple jobs and consulting gigs, as well as personal research to do. I find it’s pretty much a requirement to have something to go home to and relax and take some time off. In the past I’ve used lots of different games in order to accomplish [...]
Earlier this year I blogged about using the twitter bot for Remember the Milk. I still use it fairly well, even though the SMS messages from the RTM come late a bit. It’s working for me in order to get a good chain going for the thesis proposal. There are a couple [...]

I have had, on occasion in the past, a reason to use the wonderful TortoiseSVN software. It is, by all standards, a really great solution for someone wanting to use SVN in a MS Windows environment, and uses the official svn client in order to leverage open source as much as possible. Recently [...]
Apple released Safari 3 for Windows and Mac a couple weeks ago, and of course as the early-adopter that I am, I was trying to download it before it was even actually available. I’ve been using it for the last weeks, and I’d like to boast and bitch about some of the features [...]
It’s not the reason that you think. Sure, it includes a bunch of iPod functionality, but that’s not what I’m referring to. Not the least of which is, absolutely everyone is talking about this device. I haven’t seen this much buzz over a device in a long time.
Buzz is definitely nice, and [...]
