Coolest thing at MacWorld
by brian @ 23:56:50 - [perma-link]
I suppose the iPhone was actually the coolest thing at MacWorld Expo,
but I read all about it yesterday and the ones at the show were
sealed in glass containers. What most impressed me was how thin it
is. The software features are pretty much what I expected, but man
is it thin!
So this bracket for mounting a Mac Mini to the back of a monitor
(using the standard screw-holes that usually mount the monitor to a
wall or stand... very smart!) is the second coolest thing at the
show. Something like this would let me install the mini in a much
more convenient location in the Vanagon.

Got Wii!
by brian @ 10:50:16 - [perma-link]
I popped into Toy's'R'Us and they had a few Wiis in stock! I'll hook it up after dinner, because if I hook it up before dinner, I probably won't eat..

Out with the old, in with the new!
by brian @ 11:11:11 - [perma-link]
I gave the vanagon a much needed oil change a few days ago. Its only
been about 4 months, but I've put plenty of miles on it in that
time. It was having a little trouble starting on cold mornings, but
now it fires right up. I've added a reminder to my calendar, so I
can keep to the 3 month schedule and keep this thing running smoothly.

Felix is on House Arrest
by brian @ 11:16:52 - [perma-link]
Felix is on house arrest for a few days while his paw heals. It had
a nasty cut on it (I won't post pictures. trust me, its gross) before
Thanksgiving, and he's had 3 trips to the vet stitching it up. Its
finally starting to look better (as opposed to the 2 weeks when it
kept getting worse), and hopefully he'll be back to normal soon.

Good morning!
by brian @ 12:08:39 - [perma-link]
Can you see what I'm doing? I'm breathing with my mouth closed!!! First time in like a week! My "flu" is gone, finally (i was sick all week since I got back from Atlanta).
Flash and I are playing fetch this morning to celebrate.

Time for a new laptop?
by brian @ 11:36:34 - [perma-link]
That's not trick photography or photoshopping or anything. Its what my screen actually looks like. If I jiggle it a little or slap it around a bit it gets better. Sometimes. Maybe worse. Its taking more and more effort to get the whole screen working right.
I see a MacBook Pro in my near future. Now its just a matter of my limited patience vs. Apple's next revision release date. Time to check the rumor mills.

Oh Yeah. Happy Halloween!
by brian @ 22:31:51 - [perma-link]
I played with some EL wire this year, and found some goofy Elvis
glasses to answer the door giving candy to the kids. It was pretty
fun. I have some shoes that glow (so bad...). I mean go with the hat
and bolo. I was the "coolest cowboy ever" at the party we went to in
Santa Cruz the weekend before.
I need to figure out what to light up next

Retro???
by brian @ 20:17:34 - [perma-link]
How excited do you think I was to turn the corner at Target and see a HUGE R/C car. "Dodge Charger", it says. "No way!" I imagine as I step closer. I see "Retro Muscle" and let out a muffled "HFS! It is!...but it looks weird.."
How is a friggin 2006 model year car "Retro"???
Stil denied on a really big R/C '69 Charger...

At the Dog Park
by brian @ 15:29:36 - [perma-link]
I finally got flash to the park up the street (finally found it is more accurate). There was only one other dog here, but they weren't interested in playing after a meet & greet. We threw the frisbee instead.
And its time to get some new discs. Flash modified this one to be harder to throw and catch. I guess he needs more of a challenge.
