I’ve been given the gift of an XM Radio subscription. I used to drive by their (apparently now former) Boca Raton office all the time, and I’d see the “XM” logo on the side of the building and think that maybe I should get one. Then I’d check the prices and think they were friggin’ […]

14Mar07The Office
14Mar07My buckling spring keyboard arrived. Clickety click click click. I’m in love…
We lauched Conroe (Core 2) and Woodcrest (Dual Xeon 51xx) servers this week, and I gotta say, these Intel dual cores kick some serious ass. There’s also a free setup promo going on until the end of the month. So order some servers, won’t […]
Still thinking…
10Mar07My bank is foolish enough to give me a motorcycle loan. Suckers!
A new Shadow Aero ain’t bad to insure and a 2002 R1200C would cost just slightly more. For a new VTX1300C the premium goes up about 80%, but for a 2 year old model the price hike drops to just 40%.

Update: Aww, WTF, ETech is happening at the same time, in the same […]
We call them “Organ Donors”
08Mar07Recently I’ve had a strong urge to buy a motorcycle. Not sure what triggered it. I’ve always thought that riding in South Florida was the quickest way to become a traffic fatality statistic but now that I’m driving a 400+ bhp coffin-on-wheels I suppose that a motorcycle no longer seems all that deathwish-y.
So I’ve been […]

07Mar07Jeff Atwood has been talking about reducing a website’s bandwidth needs by offloading image hosting and brought up a point that I hadn’t considered:
S3 will probably end up costing me slightly more than the “Unlimited” $25/year accounts available on popular personal photo sharing sites. With S3, there’s no illusion of unlimited bandwidth use unconstrained by […]
