This latest sprint commercial is one of my favorites. It claims that 26% of the viewers of the commercial do not know what twitter is and that the most popular text message subject is diapers. All of which makes me think that these numbers are loosely based on actual data. But that’s advertising for you, [...]

I’ve just broken a year of being a twitter user according to twitterholic.com. Since then the top-followed twitterers have evolved from internet celebs to hollywood ones. I’d say with these two recent events, twitter has really ascended into the mainstream spotlight:

Ashton Kutcher reached over 1 million followers [link]
Oprah has featured twitter on her show [link]

Looking forward to calling my health benefits provider on my only day off this week (please note the hint of sarcasm), I was sorely disappointed that my Ooma phone system was down. The status tabs were blinking red on both the Hub and the Scout. I thought that my crap-connection Cox provides us had gone [...]

Fun times. We got to celebrate my birthday last weekend. And as always, another year goes by without feeling much has changed with myself other than having a son. I figure, once I start waking up with aches and pains I can consider myself “old.” So far, so good.

I have done it now. I went and picked up a new iPhone 3G 8GB monster. Now for a little backstory: I had my grubby hands on the original a year ago, but it didn’t want to register since my number is part of the business account. Not to be deterred, I picked up a [...]

Woohoo! I’ve been anxiously checking snail mail for the last month wondering when my DTV converter box $40 coupon is coming. I went to their site and they have a page to check its status:
Your application has been approved. Based on your application approval date of 02/28/2008, your coupon(s) are/were scheduled to mail on 04/25/2008.

So in the past week, I finally decided to put together the parts I had provisioned for my digital television (DTV) over-the-air (OTA) antenna using these schematics [you will need to register to view that forum post] for direction. It’s turns out to have a striking resemblance to this Channel Master which I’ve seen at [...]

So February 17 rolled on by and I thought that, due to so much press over the switchover to broadcasting DTV-only, that I missed my chance to make my own DIY antenna in time. The minor detail that I had overlooked was that the cutoff of analog signals is in 2009, not this year! My [...]

Holy crap. It almost took me two whole days to setup my Mac to print to my HP Deskjet 722c. Apparently, this bad boy’s driver uses Printer Performance Architecture (PPA) protocol, which means it’s a WinPrinter. Thus your postscript data needs to be converted first, to PPA instructions either on the host or client side. [...]
