As expected, today Apple released the new Intel Mac Mini and the iPod HiFi. I was hoping they would keep the same price for the entry level Mac Mini. Apple has gone the way of PC manufacturers and used the intel integrated GPU for the Mini, which makes sense for an entry level computer. [...]

Some of my PC friends think that I’ve been brainwashed and have joined the Apple Cult. I just can’t stop talking about my new MacBook Pro and it will not ship for another three weeks. So, I’ll quit talking about the Mac, I’m going to setup a Linux Proxy/Web filter combination. I [...]

Now that I have a new laptop on the way, I’m looking for a new bag.  I currently have a freebie I received from a training class.  It’s been fine for carrying around the company’s laptop, but I want more protection.  It also needs to be a little bigger.  If I get a job Downtown [...]

This just makes the wait that much harder.

I ordered a MacBook Pro.  That it least gets me in line.  I went by the closest Apple Store and they really didn’t see to have a good idea of when they would start getting theirs.  I’ll keep checking with them and if they get a shipment – and I make it there to get [...]

So the saga continues.  There are now parties not wanting to let the MLS team use Lone Stars.  Which, like I said yesterday is fine with me.  I had a thought.  Shouldn’t we rename Houston while we are at it.  After all it was General Sam Houston – the city’s namesake – that defeated Santa [...]

I hope to get back to blogging again. I should have plenty of free time. I was notified Monday that my skills were no longer needed by my employer. I’m going to use this as an opportunity to find a job that I look forward to waking up for every morning.

It looks like the Houston MLS franchise is not off to a good start. The name, which was chosen because it was the year that Houston was founded, is out. It seems to have upset the Mexican-American activist. That was also the year that Texas declared independance from Mexico. While I [...]
