He’s like Batman for computers
Last night I was running some firmware upgrades on a customer’s server in an office about an hour and a half away from here when it turned itself into a vegetable. No response to pings, no KVM connectivity anymore…it just sat there. I figured there was a stuck key or something, so I let it…

There’s no denying it anymore.
I woke up this morning to find three inches of snow on the ground, and went to Weather.com to find a staple of Decembers in Michigan along the lake: a Lake Effect Snow Warning. Lovely. I really do like the snow. It’s pretty, it helps make the day a bit brighter, and it gives the…

Re: Apple Store Geniuses
I’d like to start by saying this: I love Apple stuff. iMacs, MacBook Pros, my iPod Touch, my AppleTV, etc. For the most part (there will be a forthcoming highlight of the most useless Apple stuff out there right now) I am a pretty happy Apple guy, and I’ll still recommend a Mac to just…

Thoughts on new Apple things…
I don’t suffer from the illusion that people actually read this blog, but I figured I would take a few minutes and jot down some thoughts on today’s Apple hoopla…although I have to question whether an iPod event really merits the term “hoopla”. To be honest, the first I had heard of this was when…

My first day as the guy formerly known as “Intern”…
…in a word, rocked. In more that one word, it rocked the free world and parts of Communist China. I have said it before, and I will probably say it again a few more times in the coming years, but I love my job. Quite simply, I absolutely adore the thing. In between watching progress…

And so it ends, not with a bang…
…and not really with a whimper, either. The ending just kind of came and went. Like most major things these days, it seems. Graduation from Western was a lot like graduation from high school; you did a lot of sitting, you did a fair amount of getting up to applaud, and some guy in a…

So apparently there are a lot of games coming out next year…
Including, but not limited to: Halo: Reach Starcraft II Bioshock 2 Crackdown 2 The Force Unleashed II Fortunately, I am only going to have a full-time job next year, so finding time to play video games doesn’t really concern me that much. I’ll find a way. What concerns me more is that last game on…

I had almost forgotten…
…that I actually still have this thing. The fact that I go a month without posting to a blog that had 3 posts to begin with is probably not a good reflection of my ability to commit to something, but when you think about what I’ve been up to in the last month with finishing…

In case you were wondering…
…I’m still suffering from CMS. Except on mornings when I have to get up and go to work. Those mornings I’m a little less motivated, but I’m starting to have trouble remembering which day it really is. IKEA day was today. I didn’t have access to anything big enough to move the larger pieces of…

Christmas Morning Syndrome…
…is basically what I had this morning. You remember when you were a kid and you’d wake up at 6 in the morning and not be able to go back to sleep because it was Christmas and there were all those presents waiting for you downstairs? That was me this morning. I finally had a…
