My Stuff
I recently upgraded to a
Blackberry 8700g.
Email, cellphone, web
access, and PDA all-in-one.
I love Canon digicams.
I had an S330, then an S230,
now an SD400. They're solidly
made, they take great pictures,
and they're ultra-portable.
I've gone back to the dark
side. I once again have an iPod.
This time it's a 60gb iPod Photo.
The Dell Latitude D620
is my current work laptop.
It's a cleanly designed
Centrino Duo machine with
amazing battery
life and a nice screen.
My home laptop is a
15" Apple MacBook Pro
dual-booting both Mac OS X
and Windows XP. Hooray for
Boot Camp!
I recently upgraded to a 20"
Dell 2001fp LCD. It has great
image quality, and convenient
USB ports on the side.
My current PC is
a P4 system based on an Intel
D915GAG motherboard in an Antec
Sonata II case. 200gb Seagate
SATA hard drive, nVidia GeForce
6600GT video card, SB Live 5.1,
and NEC DVD-RW drive.
Just like with digicams,
I like Canon inkjet printers. My
i860 is quiet, fast, and produces
first-class color prints.
Not much to say here.
If you're an aviation enthusiast
and you have a fast PC,
go buy FS2004 now.
If you get hooked on
flight sims like I did, you'll want
a good flight controller. The
CH Products Flight Sim Yoke USB
is probably the best all-around
flight controller out there.
It ain't cheap, though....

| When I was in Toronto on a business trip last fall, I saw an episode of Trailer Park Boys on TV in my hotel. It was strangely hilarious. Lately I've run across lots more episodes on the Internet, so I've been downloading like crazy. I've now seen all five seasons' worth, and I can say that TPB is absolutely hilarious. It's a show about a group of guys who live in a trailer park in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and they spend their time scheming about how to grow dope, get drunk, and avoid having real jobs. Each season ends with the guys going to jail, and the next starts with them talking about how they're never going to jail again, because they have a foolproof plan to make money. Anyway, you can rent the first two or three seasons' worth on Netflix, and I can highly recommend them. Just be warned that there is more profanity in TPB than in any other show I've ever seen. Still, I end up laughing out loud at almost every episode....

| Tonight we're eating at Main Chinese Buffet. We're not big buffet folks, really. It's strangely quiet here; everyone here is focused on eating. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile. |

| I want one of these sooooo bad. Partly because it's a cool gadget, and partly because of the great mangled English translations on their website. For example: Inside air flows is excellent in the plan which considers an inside heat and a pan sound arresting. To lower that sound arresting pan configuration and a pan operation RPM in condition of optimum and in order there not to be bother to watching movie.When you watching movie it is noisy? From now on Don't bear and forbear.

| Here's David Letterman's Top 10 list from last night, "Top Ten Signs Your Pilot is Drunk": 10. Introduces his co-pilots Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniels 9. Wings on his hat made of folded cocktail straws 8. In lieu of P.A. safety instructions, he sings "Kung Fu Fighting" 7. Long rambling announcements about what animal shapes he's seeing in the clouds 6. At security, passengers remove shoes---he removes pants 5. Giggling fit every time he says the word "cockpit" 4. Delays takeoff to de-ice his mojito 3. You experience heavy turbulence and you're only taxiing to the runway 2. Invites all passengers to a "layover" in his hotel room 1. Midflight asks, "Which one of you losers is the designated driver?" |

| A byte walks into a bar and orders a pint. Bartender asks him "What's wrong?" Byte says "Parity error." Bartender nods and says "Yeah, I thought you looked a bit off." |

| I saw this picture on a website for I.T. training and certification. In my 6 years as an I.T. Manager, I've never seen any organization whose I.T. department employed fashion models. That said, she's hot!

| I heard a great mixed metaphor during a seminar yesterday: "...when you boil it down to brass tacks...." Very metallurgical. |

| I learned an interesting little fact about tuxedo pants this weekend. Inside the pockets are little holes that allow you to reach up and tug the tails of your shirt down to keep them straight and tucked in.
