Geek Stuff
This Saturday (Tomorrow), Meg and I are hosting a Marathon of Firefly from 10 am to 10 pm, watching all 13 episodes. If you're in the area and I haven't emailed you about this, I'm sorry, leave a comment or email me if you're interested and haven't told us yet. On a totally unrelated note, have you see the "this week last year" box on the right side of the screen? Wow, was I crazy-productive blogwise this time last year. (0)

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Mac is Intel Processors
So, in the famous 1984 ad… Big Brother was supposed to be IBM, right? But We know IBM has been making PowerPC processors for a while now, so why does the news that Apple is going to transition to Pentium4-D chips seem so weird? Coupled with the fact that basically the main buyer of PowerPC [...]

This is more a note to myself, as I want to remember this link on setting up Bluetooth DUN in Gentoo. I just need to figure out where my USB Bluetooth dongle got to... (1)
Google Local Mobile
Go to Google Local, sure that page doesn’t look like much in your fancy pants desktop browser, but it has just increased the usefulness of my PDA by about a factor of 5. Sure, it kinda replicates what my Car’s DVD nav can already do, but this updated more often, and I don’t have to [...]
