It seems TiVo Desktop is out. iTunes, iPhoto, etc. on your Series 2 TiVo. Because I have a Series 1, and because it's been modded (added an extra 80 GB drive), and because it's a "DirecTiVo" (TiVo + DirecTV receiver), I won't be partaking of the joy here. Oh well. 🙁

MobileTracker has a little ditty on the possible Boston Mobile Phone Ban. It was my understanding that you could only be punished in NYC if your phone rang. Am I misunderstanding the NYC law?

It seems that Chris Pirillo has picked up a GameBoy Advance SP. I got mine last Thursday and have been playing some golf - Mario Golf from the old days - on it. José recommends CyberTiger so as soon as I can find that for $14.99 or so I'll pick up a copy. I've got […]

Nicholas Riley, Steven of Panic, and others are getting into some HipTop development. The SideKick as it is called by T-Mobile is easily one of my favorite gadgets even though I have little "real" use for it - I have a cell phone and a laptop, after all. However, when an SSH client comes out, […]

There's an article on giving up TV. Many of the people in the comments section talk about how bad television has gotten, largely due to commercials. These people need a TiVo. I watch more TV now than ever. Before my TiVo, I too hated commercials. Now I can watch the shows I want to watch […]

Wired has their Wishlist for 2013 up, and the top item is an Apple-made wristwatch PDA, phone, MP3 player, sous chef, and… well… watch. The other items include thin, flexible OLED displays, space-age contacts, and smart earplugs. Said Jamie: Jamie: oh geez Jamie: wish list for 2013... ha Jamie: at this rate.. they should have […]

Gizmodo notes the release of the world's thinnest GSM phone. From a company named Haier, the phone is just 12.9mm (about 0.511417326 inches). The P5 doubles as a voice recorder, and the photo to the right is a fake: it doesn't have a color screen. More false advertising! Well, it's not a real ad. Wait, […]

Dan Isaacs loves his new TiVo. I'm not prone to over-excitement, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: having a TiVo changes your life. That porn you wanted to watch at 4am (cuz that's when all the good porn is on, naturally)? Now you can watch it at 3 in the afternoon […]

Steven notes the arrival of HipTop 1.0.1. He doesn't, however, note the arrival of better T-Mobile coverage in my area or his. Oh well, we'll see. I've gotten some good uses out of the thing... Just wish I had a better reception in some other places.

5:56pm: Feanor: didn't Stuart Cheshire write Bolo? 5:56pm: Toad: up 5:56pm: Toad: yup 5:56pm: mikeash: indeed 5:56pm: Feanor: he wrote Rendezvous 5:56pm: mikeash: all hail King Stuart

Sez Sega: Sega of America today confirmed that it is pulling the entire Sega Sports lineup of games from Nintendo GameCube. The company said that it would continue to deliver high-quality 'entertainment' titles like Sonic the Hedgehog for the console. So what's that fricking leave me with? EA? Hey Sega: not got enough balls to […]

A few weeks ago I came across a few articles discussing females in programming, software development, or computing and technology in general. I haven't had the time, or really, the thoughts, to blow that into a full-fledged entry, so I'm going to do a bit of a link dump here with a bit of my […]

Today was a gaming day. I bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PS2 and found the game frustrating and annoying. I keep crouching when I mean to run, and I find it hard as hell to hit anyone with the guns. I bought NHL2K3 for the GameCube, and man has this game gotten […]

I remember playing with MacPaint. Largely, I remember how difficult it was to draw with a mouse, and sites like this: imaginationatwork.com refresh that memory from time to time. The site allows you to draw with markers on a little page and email the picture, replay it, and do some other things. Why it exists […]

A Slashdot article talks about the fact that New York City residents will soon be dialing 11 digits even to call their neighbors. Frankly, I couldn't care less, and I wish the phone systems of this country could simply settle on one darn standard. Case in point: I'm in the 561 area code. To call […]
