I periodically forget how much of a pain Windows is. Most of the time, I’m using macOS for work and for my personal laptop. However, my gaming machine runs Windows because most games don’t run on (or don’t run well) on macOS. I also got tired of...
My secondary phone line (used for work) is on a ZTE Axon 7 running Android 7.1.1. A little while ago, I found an app that was running called SystemUpdates by Zzte. The app can not be uninstalled nor easily disabled. (You can use Settings > Apps >...
I have had a little netbook (bless it’s heart) that has tried to be my little buddy on trips. Unfortunately, it has had Windows XP on it and I have less than love for that particular operating system. My work machines and my desktop system are all...
I’ve been researching how to run Linux from a USB stick and was amazed at the options. The best one I’ve found is the Linux Live USB creator, which is great but only runs from Windows. Not so good since I have a Mac at home. Other...
CDZA took the lyrics from Fresh Prince of Bel Air and ran them through Google translator to see what happened with the lyrics. I love stuff like this. Related Images:
Because I’ve been in conversations about emacs versus ed versus VI versus VIM vs pico… and have laughed at how everyone had some tweak that they could use to do anything. Regular expressions rule! Related Images:
Searching for articles on problems with using T-Mobile’s wifi calling on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 returns multiple results, including an enlightening good discussion on the XDA forum. The phone doesn’t keep a consistent connection to the wifi calling service. I get an ERR Connection...
It’s like the producers of American Idol and Fear Factor had a love child and produced Killer Karaoke. In this show, singers perform while being scared, shocked, and otherwise put in bodily harm. Yup, not kidding. When I first saw an article about this on Gawker, I...
And I could not resist. I have had a T-Mobile G2 for almost two years now. It’s been a solid little phone with a good keyboard and Android 2.3. For the past few months, I’ve been getting notices from T-Mobile that I’m eligible for a phone upgrade....
I keep a NetBook by my bed for those times when I wake up and have a story or article idea. Or, like now, I want to write a blog post before going to sleep. During the day, I use Macs at work and at home. This...
I have a T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z) for 18 months or so and have been very happy with. It’s my first Android phone (version 2.3.3). My favorite part of the phone is that it has a physical keyboard and comes with (almost) stock Android. No funky...
I work with a bunch of system administrators. For a geek like me, it’s a great opportunity to get to play with the latest technologies and learn from experts. (Okay, so I don’t get to play with the technology. I watch other people use the tech and...

Awesome new music video from The Guild (Felicia Day) and Knights of Good. “Now I’m the one that’s cool….” Yup, I was one of those geeky kids in school who preferred books over hanging out with other kids. Lyrics: 1ST VERSE: Oh, no. Don’t pretend I didn’t...
A friend of mine sent me a link to this Key and Peele skit where the DM invites a new player, who proceeds to take over the game. Kanye the Giant is on a quest for bitches. Related Images:
