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....

| I'm spending my Memorial Day uploading pictures to my new Flickr Pro account. I figure it's worth $25 a year to have a remote offline backup of my photo collection. Anyway, I'm enjoying a nice Henry Weinhard's Summer Wheat Ale, and watching the photos upload. It's hard work, but someone has to do it.

| Kristi is on her way to Taiwan for Computex. I dropped her off at Sea-Tac this morning, and she sent me a text message just before takeoff. Turns out that the contestants for next season's Amazing Race are on her Seattle-Tokyo flight. One of the teams' cameramen had so much carryon luggage it filled the compartment above her seat. Anyway, she says that the contestants aren't saying much, just that they're filming "a travel show."

| "I wanted to think of myself as a traveler in the old-fashioned sense. A traveler accepts the people around him, and whatever happens to him. He never demands or complains; he merely listens and observes." -Robert D. Kaplan in "Imperial Grunts" |

| Hooray, I just got my Intel Entry Storage System up and running. It's a little enclosure with four bays for hard drives, and I installed four 500gb Seagate drives in RAID5 configuration, so I have a 1.5TB enclosure at my disposal. I'm probably going to get rid of my full-blown "server" since it only has 600gb of space in it, and the ESS is so much smaller. Here's a picture to get a sense of what the thing looks like:
