Problems with your PC overheating?
Maybe you need more fans in your pc. How about a PC case made entirely of fans? Yes, all the fans actually spin. Geez, I can barely live with the noise from the 2 fans in my Dell. Hehe. Be sure to send this all your overclocker friends.

Online Confessionals
“Bless Me, Blog, for I’ve Sinned” is a cool article on NYT about online confessionals. One of the more interesting sites they referenced was PostSecret. Their hook is that you submit your confession anonymously via a postcard, which they scan and catalog. Geez, I could just sitting around all day reading their submissions. My current…

Running Update
Geez, I’ve been so bad about posting my running progress lately. Seems that by the time all the work, chores, and running is done, I just done have any motivation to do anything, let alone try to put words together. That being said, I’ve have still been pretty motivated to run. At work, the lunch…

Ahh. Vacation good.
Very good, indeed. 4 days of nice relaxing. Running, skating, sleeping. I could get used to this. Finally getting around to enjoying my deck.

Serious Tunes: Apocalyptica
A while back, I stumbled on Apocalyptica. 3 words: heavy, metal, cello. Doesn’t get much harder than that. They’re probably most known for their Apocalyptica Plays Metallica album. I thought it was pretty good, but then I found some of their original material, which is even better. I’ve been enjoying them frequently on my iPod…

Interesting: Recycling Nintendo Controllers
Ah, harkening back to the days of my youth, I remember the Nintendo Entertainment System had a ton of cool alternative controllers like the PowerPad (kinda the grand daddy of the Dance Dance Revolution), the PowerGlove, and the funky Uforce (infrared motion detectors). I thought some of the controller ideas were kinda neat, but they…

Jinkies, long time no blog…
Wow, guess its been a while since I posted. So what’s been going on? Well, works been pretty busy. Lots of projects, lots of quoting. Other than that I’ve been running a lot. Had a particularly high mileage week last week. The weather, for central New York has been dynamite: mid sixties and sunny for…
