Asus U30JC-A1 is on its way!
Ever since my precious Macbook kicked the bucket about two months ago (while graciously breaking my fall and selflessly coming between my face and the cement), I’ve been on the look out for a replacement notebook. My late Macbook was an original 2006 model, so I think it’s safe to say that any new notebook [...]

iPhone, iPhone, iPhone
12.13.06 | Permalink | 2 CommentsIt’s not really a secret that Apple will be releasing an iPhone in the near future. Some analysts predict that we may see it as early as January 15.

Last minute Christmas ideas
Dear Santa, The first thing I want is a huckleberry attachment for my MacBook. It’s a little webcam mirror that will turn the built-in webcam around and allow me to shoot things in front of me. I can’t think of a practical use for this, but I want it nonetheless. The second thing I’d like [...]
