You’ve stumbled across a site that is about lots of stuff and nothing at all. Here you will find a combination of my blog and pages I create with info on various subjects.

Life got away from me for a while there and not only hadn’t I updated this site, I hadn’t even been viewing a lot of stuff on the web. I think things have calmed down enough for me to get back to posting some thoughts here.

Enjoy! :)

July 27, 2009   |  No Comments

You know one of the biggest problems with upgrading gadgets? For me it isn’t the cost or the trouble with researching new products or even learning how to use the new ones. No, my biggest issues is having to convert data from one device to another.

Concert Frustration

March 4, 2009   |  No Comments

Over the past year, I’ve been to about 9 concerts. Some at arenas and a bunch at bars/clubs. One trend I’m seeing that is really driving me crazy is people who are either talking to their friends or texting on their cell phones instead of listening to the music.

Tech Review: Flip MinoHD vs. Kodak Zi6 – Intro – READ FIRST

February 22, 2009   |  1 Comment

I decided to post a review (I guess you can call it that) of two pocket HD camcorders that I bought a few months ago. Since the review is rather long, I’ve broken it up into five parts (you are reading the intro – five more parts to go). You can skip around if you would like, but to get whatever it is I’m trying to say out of this, I suggest you read in order.

Tech Review: Flip MinoHD vs. Kodak Zi6 – Part 1

February 22, 2009   |  No Comments

Make sure you’ve read the Intro before continuing on with this part. I also strongly suggest watching the test videos I made. To make this easier, I created a YouTube Playlist. Since I encoded each video in HD, and it just so happens that YouTube is now allowing full HD video, you will get the full effects of the videos if you watch these in HD. Once you click on the individual video, just click the “View in HD” link that is under the video on the right side.

“Right America: Feeling Wronged” Part 2

February 20, 2009   |  No Comments

This past Monday I watched the documentary “Right America: Feeling Wronged – Some Voices From the Campaign Trail” on HBO. I posted about it last week but hadn’t seen it yet. I had joined in on some of the comments that were posted on a YouTube video about it but really did want to reserve my feelings until after I watched it. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m still trying to figure out how I feel.
