Logitech G15 Keyboard upgrade (v1 – v2)

January 5, 2008

After a lengthy email exchange with Logitech customer support (started October 22, 2007), I’ve just received my replacement Logitech G15 keyboard (affiliate link).
The key problem (pardon the pun) was that the black paint on a few of the keys was wearing off, allowing the backlighting to shine through obscuring any key lettering. This keyboard [...]

January 2, 2008

Happy New Year. I’ve been having more fun with Photoshop and with my new Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet, and decided to share the fruits of my labour.

November 2, 2007

Today I was feeling the need to update my desktop, and decided to look around for a 1280×1024 version of Earthrise. I couldn’t quickly find one…so I did the next best thing, grabbed this 2400×2400 version from NASA and cropped it. Feel free to grab my version here.

I’ve mentioned PhotoSynth before (from Microsoft Live Labs), but with the current space shuttle mission, this new gallery deserved a mention.
In collaboration between Microsoft’s Live Labs team in Seattle, Washington, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and NASA’s Ames Research Center, in Silicon Valley, these collections were created to allow people to [...]

Le Moo! Redux!

August 7, 2007

Heh, pardon my Francis, but the fine folk at Moo.com have delivered!
Recently I wrote about the new Moo Stickers. Well, yes, my batch has arrived! Free, gratis my fine feathered friend Cory (and his free giveaway) at BoingBoing.
And, not to overhype this, but these stickers are superlative! Ok, maybe I’m overhyping just a tad, [...]

The mountains are wet. Awesome long weekend!

August 7, 2007

Just a brief post to fill the void. I’ve been in vacation mode and not posting…here’s why!
We took off to the mountains for the August long weekend. Lots of prep. time required…it’s the first time in years that we’d gone camping. Had to dust off all the gear, test it, patch it and pick up [...]
