A while back I updated an old Linksys router with the fancy pants Tomato Firmware.  All has been well over the last 6 weeks.  No need to reboot, everything has worked out great.  The biggest slice of traffic the router sees is VPN, VOIP, and basic web browsing.  We are not big downloaders, freepers, frappers, [...]

No.  Get your mind out of the gutter.
Google rolled out a way to skin/theme your Gmail account.
Yesterday they rolled out 30 themes to users.  If you don’t have the themes yet, you will soon.  Google is rolling the feature out over several days.  You will see a themes tab underneath your Settings.
Several of them look [...]

So a few weeks back - the gmail team released the am I drunk test for sending emails.  Quite a fancy update for a product still in beta.   Today, I see that they have unleashed emoticon icons for gmail.
Now that the team is adding “for fun” type things - can we bring it out of [...]

A little over a year ago, I switched routers.  I went from my trusty Linksys WRT54G to a ZoneAlarm (CheckPoint) Z100G router.  My wife would be working from home now and I wanted a beefed up router for our home network.  The Check Point router had all kinds of bonus features for small office use.  [...]

My question to [...]

Google released Mail Goggles today.
It is supposed to help me you quit sending those late night, booze influenced tirades.  I am sure Brittany Spears will be glad that she no longer receives emails from me late at night on Friday.  As I profess my love for some of that trailer park goodness.
So . . . [...]

I had been running Ubuntu for sometime at home.  I had been reading a good bit about the new release of OpenSuse 11.  And had been wanting to try it.  The other day at work I downloaded the DVD ISO and burned it, I finally got around to installing it last night.  This has to [...]

So . . . MS is developing an OS for cloud computing.  We can all jump for joy, our prayers have been answered.  I am too lazy to look it up.  OK . . . here - I know you are lazy as well.  Bums.  Here is an article about Windows coming to Amazon’s EC2.  [...]

After seeing pics of the new Google OS based phone the HTC Dream.  I want to ask.  WTF?
Seriously.  Could that phone has been put on a more ugly platform?  I have never really been fond of the HTC phones to begin with.  The remind me of an older Palm Pilot or something from the early [...]
