I’ve been wanting to connect my iPod/iPhone to my car stereo for a while now. Having tried the FM transmitter solutions in the past, and found them wanting, I was looking for a physical connection. I found one in the iSimple Gateway that looked pretty good. It was installed last week and [...]
The blog has been offline for a little over a year during. No good excuses for that, just lots going on personally and I started another blog focused on professional interests.

A couple of buddies & I made the trip to Vegas to see DMB at the MGM Grand last week. I went to the show on the 23rd, which was incredible. The set list for the 24th also looked pretty sweet. I”ll definitely be downloading both of these shows when they are available on the [...]
Richard Cohen of the Washington Post wrote an op-ed piece defending ignorance last week. If you haven’t yet read the article, you really should. In it he attempts to explain to a high school drop-out why knowledge of basic mathematics is not really necessary. The crux of his position is that he’’s [...]
I tend to be the paranoid type, especially when it comes to technology. After a handful of particularly brutal sessions on PokerStars, I sent an email to the site’’s management, asking them to explain how their “random” hands are created.

Harvey Danger, the band that hit mainstream paydirt with “Flagpole Sitta”, has just released their new album. “So what?” you say… Well, they”ve freely released it via their website.
