The Problem
After about a year of enjoying how well my Ubuntu Linux home server downloads, organizes, and serves video files to my TV, I started to think harder about serving up music to devices around the house, and to my phone and/or PC while I’m at work. In the past, I’ve made my music library [...]

I received the D-Link Boxee Box yesterday, tested it out, and posted a thorough review on Amazon.com.
I like the product a lot; it completely blows the WD TV LIVE I have out of the water in all areas, and it offers a lot of good content that I otherwise not know anything about. Even the social aspects [...]
I bought a Kindle 2 last month and joined the e-book revolution. I love e-books for various, practical reasons:
1. Books pile up around the house. I don’t have room to keep all of them. Selling, training, giving, or donating them is a pain. Throwing out books makes me sad.
2. Books deteriorate. I typically purchase used books, and [...]
I hate getting up in the morning, and have long had trouble falling asleep at night. These two apps by Mobitobi work together to make it a bit easier.
Gentle Alarm
Thanks to the Motorola Droid’s dock and clock (ahem, “Multimedia Station”) mode, my phone became my alarm clock the day I brought it home. (Of course, [...]
I bought my Motorola Droid the morning it was released to the public. The first app I installed on it was Locale, which promised to automatically set the phone’s volume, wifi settings, and so on, based on its current location. I thought this was a great idea: I could automatically silence my phone at the [...]
MPlayerX, an OS X video player that I really like, just released an update a couple days ago. I noticed today, when I launched the app. The 0.9.8 update seems to fix a lot of MPlayerX’s stability problems, and introduces a more refined interface. I found that it starts even faster now, too! I’m very [...]
Go Ask Alice
I hate shopping, especially for stupid little things, like trash bags, facial tissues, and toilet paper. The list goes on, actually. There’s all sorts of stuff that I need, but is no fun to buy. Luckily for folks like me, there’s a service for that.
Thanks to an article on the state of online [...]
After a long suspecting it was a total waste of time, I eventually grew to love Twitter. It’s a great way to share bits of information about yourself and your interests, and it’s a great way to market yourself to the world.
Though I’ve learned to love Twitter the service, as evidenced by my frequently-updated Twitter stream, [...]
I got into Linux in a geeky and typical way. I had an old Dell Pentium IV computer with 512 MB of RAM that struggled to run Windows XP. It ran like a dog, even though I never had any viruses or spyware on it. I’m reasonably sure of that, since I always ran a [...]
