One Year With Winnie

It was one year ago today that Winnie came to live with us. Just like with Boo Boo, we bought him the day that he was born. I drove two hours to Amish country on this day in 2008 to meet Winnie’s mom, Lisa Hendershot of Paws and Purrs Cattery. Lisa and her husband were kind enough to meet me half way. They live in Akron.

Winnie was a scared little 1.5 pound bundle of fur. He was not happy in his carrier so I let him ride in my lap all the way home. He just slept and purred.

Little Winnie is awesome! (Click on photo for a larger version)

This Is Poetic

TUAN pointed out something poetic concerning a Steve Ballmer interview on the Today show yesterday. During the interview concerning Windows 7, a graphic was placed in the background. Look close - that is a MacBook Pro with a Windows 7 graphic :-)

Windows 7 Launch

Windows 7 was launched today with a keynote in NYC by Steve Ballmer. The best thing about Windows 7 is that it's not Vista!

Best Yardsign Ever!

This may well be the best yard sign ever!

This Is Painful

This is just painful to look at. The guys over at ifixit.com have dismantled a 27" iMac to see how it is put together. One thing that you can say is the the people at Apple really know how to build a computer!

Just Wrong!

This is just wrong. Manny Williams loves his Nikon D3X so much that he had it tattooed on his forearm. At least it's not a Zune tattoo :-)

Windows 7 In The UK

I found this photo on Engadget today. Notice that Steve Ballmer is Lucius Malfoy.

The story is that Windows 7 is selling faster than Harry Potter on Amazon in the UK. This is probably due to the disaster known as Vista. As John C. Dvorak puts it, "Windows 7 is just a Vista martini. Like a martini made with cheap vodka, you are inevitably going to get the same old Windows hangover".

Windows 7 may be better than Vista but at the end of the day, it is still Windows.

New iMac

I am so excited about this new iMac that I can hardly stand it. This new beauty is a 27-inch for the same price as the old 24-inch. The top end 27-inch model is quad-core with a Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. The resolution is a staggering 2,560 x 1,440.

I must have one!

One Year With Boo Boo

It was one year ago today that Boo Boo came to live with us. We bought Mr. Boo Boo the day that he was born from Teresa Signore of Highlander Cattery. We cannot thank her enough for selling him to us.

When Boo Boo came home he was all of 3.5 lbs and scared to death. It didn’t take him long to get accustomed to his new home. He slept in a shoe box during the day and slept with me at night. He still sleeps with me but now he weighs in at svelte 19 lbs and a little over 40” nose to tail.

Mr. Boo Boo is awesome! (Click on photo for a larger version)

I Love Android

I love Google! The Android platform is no different. For each new release of Android, version 1.5 (Cupcake), 1.6 (Donut), 2.0 (Eclair), Google puts a foam facsimile on the front lawn.

Well, yesterday, the Eclair was delivered. Very funny video.

It's About Time!

I am sure that I m not alone on this one. How many of you hate loud commercials. I, for one, would not purchase anything from a company with loud commercials.

Rep. Anna Eshoo of California has proposed the 'Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act.' This act would make it illegal to increase the volume of commercials.

It is about time!

Nikon D3S Released

Nikon released the new D3S today. This is a mid-cycle release. So what is new? A higher ISO limit of 12,800. That itself is amazing. It also does video.

My take on the new high-end Nikon's is mixed. I love high end quality but honestly, why make the camera into a video game. Doesn't anyone make a great camera that is just a camera anymore. There is an answer to that question but who has Leica money in this economy? :-)

T-Mobile Sidekick Debacle

In the recent T-Mobile Sidekick debacle, Microsoft had a server failure and lost all of their customer data. Honestly, isn't data backup covered the first week in Computer Science 101? Microsoft has said that there is no way to get the data back. How is this even possible?

For anyone that suffered from Microsoft's negligence, do yourself a favor and take T-Mobile up on their offer for an HTC/Google phone.

Pumpkin Cannon

This is what everyone needs for Halloween.

Swine Flu Proof Clothes

You have to love the Japanese. Japanese menswear company Haruyama Trading has developed a suit that it claims can protect wearers from the H1N1 virus.

What will they think of next?

Dell Going Android

Today Dell announced that they will be making an Android handset for AT&T. This should be interesting.

Dell suffers miserably at customer service and they are now teaming up with AT&T, the one reason many people have not moved to the iPhone.

I love Google and I love the Android platform but this is not going to turn out well for anyone!

T Pain With Auto-Tune

OK, no matter what your political leanings, this is just hilarious!

Build A Ferrari Out Of Clothes

This is great!

Dr. Wave

Here is the best introduction to Google Wave that I have seen.

Donut Time

It looks like it is donut time. Android 1.6, code named Donut, is being pushed to T-mobile users beginning today.
