18 January 08 - 08:30The Proverbial "Year of Linux"?

It's been stated (or asked) almost every year since the turn of the decade, will this be the "year of Linux". Of course, every year since it's appearance in computer technology circles, Linux has grown stronger, better, and more popular. However, I'm really excited about what is happening to GNU/Linux/FOSS so far this year. I really think Linux is going to gain some ground in 2008 and force other technology companies to re-think the way they do business, even more that what they've been forced to do thus far.

A few examples of why I'm thinking this... Read More Here...

11 January 08 - 08:38Eee PC update

Well, it's been a few weeks living and working with the Eee PC. Actually, we now have two Eee PCs in our household - my wife wanted one for herself, so I picked one up as a last minute Christmas gift for her. She's enjoying her Eee PC as much as I am. She hasn't touched her other laptop (which used to be her main PC) since Christmas day. Read More Here...

18 December 07 - 16:04Fun with Eee

This past week I've been able to put the Eee through its paces to see how useful this little sub-notebook PC could really be. It wasn't long before I realized that I no longer wanted to - or needed to use - my full sized laptop that had been my "main" PC. Notice I put had there.

Not only has the Eee met all of my expectations, Read More Here...

12 December 07 - 20:33ASUS Eee PC - Judge me by my size, you do.

As everyone's favorite Jedi master has proven to us, time and time again, good things come in small packages. The same can be said about a funny little laptop made by ASUS, called the Eee PC - a fully functional laptop, not much larger than a DVD case, with Linux as it's OS. Read More Here...

Time sure does fly by sometimes. Been a pretty busy November around here... work at the office being the focus. But, during the past month, there's been some time of leasure and fun with the Wii. Read More Here...

26 October 07 - 21:02More flim-flam from MicroSHAFT

Today I was reading that Microsoft (or, what I more accurately call them, MicroSHAFT) is now releasing a different version of their XBox gaming console, called XBox Arcade. More details on this can be found here.

It's decisions like this that clearly demonstrates to me what products are actually worth the money you pay for them and what products are crap. I mean, not even MS is confident enough in their gaming system to allow it to stand on it own merits. What do I mean by this? Well, let's examine this for a moment... Read More Here...

24 October 07 - 20:08More Wii Stuff and Metroid Prime 3

I just received my confirmation e-mail this evening that Nintendo has sent my new Wii-mote jackets on to me and should be here in a couple of days.

It seems as though Nintendo has decided to ship all new Wiis with padded jackets for the Wii-motes for the bone-heads who can't seem to keep a grip on their controllers while they're playing. Myself, I can't quite understand why some people have such a difficult time holding on to their Wii-motes and not bash it into the heads of nearby observers/players. Anyway... Read More Here...

20 October 07 - 20:41Wii Game Review - Splinter Cell

I thought I'd start posting some entries regarding some of the games we've recently been playing our our Nintendo Wii. As the holiday season approaches, Nintendo has been making plans to release some very interesting titles for the Wii console. So, I thought I'd share my opinions on some of the titles we've rented and/or purchased.

First up:Splinter Cell: Double Agent. It's not a new release, but I just got around to renting it this weekend. Here are my thoughts.... Read More Here...

18 October 07 - 15:41Week two and Mandriva is a dream!

I'm on week two with the new Mandriva OS and, I have to say, it's the best experience I've ever had with a PC.

Mandriva 2008 has proved itself to be a fast, stable, robust and easy... really easy. I have it installed on my 1.8GHz laptop (with 512MB of RAM), as well as my wife's 1.2Ghz laptop (with 256MB of RAM) and it works like a dream on both machines. Read More Here...

08 October 07 - 19:39I'm Back! With Mandriva 2008!

Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted. However, I don't think many people have noticed.

What brought me back to my blog was that I wanted to pass along the news that Mandriva is about to release their new Linux operating system, Mandriva 2008.0! I've signed up to be one of their "official" seeders on Bittorrent, so this past weekend, we got advanced access to the torrent files so we can get ready for the official release in a couple of days.
