Seriously trivial thoughts
What a bunch of lazy people… Lack of effort, period. It’s disgusting and embarrassing. At least try to earn your paychecks. I’m looking for wholesale trades this summer. Personally though, I hope they don’t. I really feel talent-wise the Lakers are pretty good. I think injuries are playing a bigger role here than most ppl …
Well my Nokia N800 only has a Rhapsody client so although I already have a Napster account, I now have both Rhapsody and Napster–a dollar a day for both, basically. Sounds crazy I know, but with my wife and daughter on Napster, I’m now one over the limit of 3 PCs and 3 players…I’m not …
I know that most folks don’t think the Lakers are going to even challenge the Suns in the first round, much less win the series. I, however, think it will be a battle and the Lakers may even triumph. Why? Because we didn’t have a full roster until the last few games. No one has …
For whatever stupid reason, many devices will not charge via USB unless their proprietary software is installed on the PC first. The Creative Zen V Plus is such a device. The problem arises when you are, say, at work and you don’t/can’t have the Creative software installed. For the Creative Zen V, the solution is …
Readers of my blog know that I’ve been agonizing over the perfect media player for listening to Podcasts in my car. My solution up to now has been the Palm TX. The reason its a good podcast player is the Pocket Tunes player has a robust bookmarking feature. It also has a built-in speaker and …
CNet has an article entitled “Days numbered for tax-free Net sales” The article declares that online sales will all be subject to sales tax very soon. Well, people have been saying that since the days of catalog sales (ie pre-Internet) and I’ve been saying no way for as long. Writers that push this notion have …
According to this article, “scientists claim radiation from handsets are to blame for mysterious ‘colony collapse’ of bees.” Now this is terrible and all since bees are the primary pollinators of the world. So without them plants would die and so would all animal life. However, that catastrophe aside, I was thinking of the practical …
Check out my brand new scriptable FTP upload app. It’s great when you always upload the same file(s) all the time. Although you can use the built-in Windows ftp DOS app, that does not support passive mode and this does. It is freeware of course [:-)]
Well, I gave it a shot, but the Sandisk Sansa Connect just doesn’t work for me. WiFi is cool, but it only works with Yahoo Music. The player will work with Napster, my service of choice, but just in the normal sense. That is, you transfer the songs over the cable. It also doesn’t use …
USA Today is reporting that “daylight saving time switch hasn’t cut energy use“. My previous blog entitled Changing daylight savings was a bone-head move seems to be well justified, huh? Two things bother me about the article. One, it says, “That may come as no surprise to the Energy Department, which last year predicted modest …
