Blue Floyd
Spotted a plug for Blue Floyd in a the pinkfloyd2 group at Yahoo. Their sample cuts sounded pretty interesting, almost like cross between Pink Floyd and Phish. They were in the Syracuse area a few weekends back; unfortunately, I couldn’t talk anybody in going to the show. Somehow, I stumbled on the fact they’re taper…

Teeny Tiny Linux Box
Slashdot reports about Picotux a new Linux compatible PC the size of a RJ-45 ethernet jack. Wow, that’s pretty darn small, and its only 99 Euros. Now if I just had a cool project to use it in!

TrackMania Sunrise
I got wind of TrackMania Sunrise via a recent CNet update. Its basically a 2005 version of the game Stunts (that’s the only Stunts related page I could dig up in a quick Google search) we though was all the rage back in 1993. I thought the graphics were too good to be true (see…

Take That Scumbag!
Don’t Fuck with Ovid, a great story about guy who tracks down some goofballs who stole his credit card info and ran up a couple thousand dollars of charges. Have to say, if it was me and I got as close as this guy did to the baddies, I probably would have beat the crap…

Cool Link: Transparent Screen Backgrounds

Playstation To Go
NYT has a good article telling us how Sony will rule the world again with its forthcoming Playstation Portable, hitting the shelves on March 24. Its got a pretty good mix of features. If I had an extra $250 lying around, I’d probably pick one up.

A One Man TV Studio
Here’s a great video from NYT with David Pogue talking about how he produces his own weekly video updates. I wish I had more time to play around with this kind of stuff.

Customer Service, Done Right!
After recent trainwrecks in the Customer Service departments when dealing with Time Warner Cable and Sprint PCS, I happy to report a good customer service experience. I don’t wanna make it seem like all I do is bitch about crappy service, I wanna make sure to hilight when customer service does work. The DMV catchs…

Running Log 1.0 Live
Finally got around to turning on my online running log. Its kinda lame at the moment, but it does give some quick stats as to my running addiction. Sooner or later, I’ll get back to it and add some more stats and some charts. Stay tuned.

iPod Heart Attack
Yesterday, I was updating iTunes on my PC and noticed that there was also an update to the iPod software. I think I missed the last update, so I figure its probably a good time to get caught up. So I download the 40Mb updater. I run the installer, it says connect your iPod and…
