This is great – for those of you who have had the life-changing experience of owning a TiVo, things just got a lot better. TiVo has added bolean search to their wishlist management. What this means is that while in the past, you were stuck choosing either to record: Any show named ‘Mythbusters’, or Any [...]
OK, so most IT people I know would rather visit a dentist every day than have to deal with Windows-related issues. There was a time when you could always go to Mac – but am I alone in feeling like the Mac vs. PC commercials are bad for the Macs? I was seriously considering one, [...]
Back in January, I talked about the possibility of having an iPod-esque device that would enable you to use Pandora while mobile. I called it the PandoraPod, and beleived that it would usher in a new era of profitability for Pandora, a service I’ve come to see as extremely valuable. What I like about them [...]
It looks like the new iGoogle name for Google Personalized Homepage is starting to make a little more sense. They’ve rolled out a new feature where you can make your own Google Homepage modules – “no programming required”. Apparently you can make them publically available, or send them to certain people.

The users of Digg have finally had enough with the false ‘management’ of front-page stories and the censorship of certain stories by Digg management.

Anyway… My first upgrade on Ubuntu has gone off without a hitch. I’m continued to be impressed by how well everything works on Ubuntu, after using [...]

This may sound strange, but does anyone else have a showgirl for their GMail logo today? Or maybe it’s an indian chief? I’ve restarted, and it’s still there…! Ubuntu 6.10 / Firefox 2.0 (click for full size) update: It appears to be some sort of Aztec…
I can’t believe I haven’t heard about this on any of my feeds. It seems like once again the RIAA has done its thing once again, except this time to eradicate internet-based radio. Keep in mind that the extreme rate hikes they’re implementing apply only to internet radio; five times higher than sattellite, and nothing [...]
So I’ve been happy with Ubuntu so far, but wanted to show those Vista guys a thing or two by installing Beryl. The Beryl/XGL-Ubuntu instructions over at the Beryl Wiki are great, but didn’t have information for an Intel graphics card (for people like me with Intel embedded graphics through the chipset).
