Seriously trivial thoughts
I had pretty much decided to go with the Palm Pre, but the more I read about the Nokia N97, I may just get that. Why? Tethering over WiFi Don’t have to switch to Sprint 5MP camera with good lens It won’t have the sexiness of the Pre, or the iPhone for that matter, but …
I had been using Trillian to IM all my friends from ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and gTalk; however, I switched to the web-based Meebo.com awhile back. Anyways, after being a little frustrated with the feature-lacking Facebook chat feature I just discovered that they added Facebook support to Meebo! It’s very basic as well, but you …
From the WSJ: “Washington is all in a tizzy and everybody is pointing fingers at each other and saying it’s their fault, the Democrats’ fault, the Republicans’ fault,” he said at a town hall meeting Wednesday. “Listen, I’ll take responsibility. I’m the President.“ He also make clear that it isn’t really his fault. “We didn’t …
I’ve been reading a lot of the coverage of the new iPhone 3.0 update and only one site has mentioned the fact that during the Q&A, Apple said that Bluetooth can be “unlocked” on the iPod Touch 2g. Here’s the exact quote from the GDGT live blog coverage: 11:43AM – Q: Bluetooth on the iPod …
Saw this idea while googling for a Facebook Firefox extension. Just make the iPhone version of Facebook load up into the Firefox sidebar! Easy as pie.

I did a little research and it appears that the primary purpose for this is to prevent DoS attacks which seems like overkill on a home router. Anyways, disabling didn’t seem to improve my VOIP service, but …
Well, the ViaTalk service got put through it’s paces the last couple days…by my wife ;-) I wanted to see if she would notice the difference and did she. The problem we are seeing is that it sometimes takes 30-45 seconds to connect on outgoing calls. Much longer than our analog phone line. I think …
I don’t own a Kindle, nor do I intend on buying one; however, I just ordered my first Kindle book, “Daemon” by Daniel Suarez. I’ll be reading it on my iPod Touch. I scoff at anyone that thinks the Touch (or iPhone) can’t be someone’s main Kindle eBook reader. These people are either A) old; B) …
Got my Linksys PAP2T VOIP box from ViaTalk a couple days ago and AT&T *finally* turned on the call forwarding feature I ordered–2 DAYS?! C’MON! LAME! Anyways, I forwarded my landline number to the ViaTalk number and unplugged my landline…hopefully for good. All my home calls should now route through ViaTalk. If there are no …
You gotta love the Japanese (yeah I’m one!). Check out the SEXPOT ReVeNGe line of T-Shirts touted as the “Japanese New Punk Style”. Not sure why they are being sold by a Japanese CD site, but hey, I guess clothes and music are closely connected. They are about $30US which seems a bit high, but …
