April 13, 2008

I am one of those people who hate Time Warner (because of the crappy and recently unreliable service) that can't wait for Verizon FOIS or AT&T U-verse or anything faster to show up in my neighborhood.

February 5, 2006

As I've blogged before, I am in the search for a new computer and have decided to get a laptop and a desktop to meet all of my needs. I will probably end up using a Mirra or something similar (NAS) to get my machines in sync. On the laptop side, I've been toying [...]
