So, as a good geek who gets hypnotized by pretty gadgets, I got myself a 3G iPhone :)
Then I discovered that the WP people had put out an iPhone app, so…I had to test it…and this is the first post I write on it :)
I still need to figure out a few things about how [...]

I found an interesting article at Rands in Repose, a blog I hit now and then, with the catchy name “The Nerd Handbook“.
Now…I think of myself and most of my friends as geeks, and I see nerds as socially-inept geeks (yes, most geeks *do* have social graces…we just tend to be extremely choosy :P :) [...]

I know, I know, it’s been a while, but life’s been busy as hell….tho I’ve been reading, actually re-reading, one of the best military SF series out there, and I’ll have a review out some time soon…I won’t promise when, but soon :)
Meanwhile, I found this one through Cofradia, a mexican geek portal that some [...]

Well, it seems like SCO decided to apply for Chapter 11…many of us who have followed the SCO saga believe that they did that just to get a stay on the Novell case and so they wouldn’t have to return Novell’s money to them…but I’m pretty sure that no matter what they try, they’ll get [...]

This is an interesting post, half funny, half warning, about how not only software viruses propagate, but also mechanical failures that multiply much the same way. Sean, at the alwaysBETA blog calls it The Tale of the Mechanical Virus, and it’s a fun one.
Also, read the comments for other people’s tales of mechanical virus [...]

The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England, was the site chosen by a group of Daleks to initiate their invasion of Earth this past Sunday.
As the chants of “Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!” echoed through, 67 Daleks gathered, with their human beings inside, to set the record for the most people in a Dalek costume [...]

I don’t actually remember if I wrote about it or not, but about a month ago, I got a back problem that was symptomatic in only one way…it hurt like all hell.
The fun part about it was that the doctor discovered, while checking out the current problem, that I have a degenerative problem in [...]

For all my readers who have been baffled by my (sporadic) SCO reports over the last 18 months (since I started blogging), maybe this short history lesson by Mark Wagner on ZDNet’s blogs will help you understand a bit of why I was so happy a couple of days ago when I was yelling over [...]

Yes indeed! SCO is toast! Novell owns UNIX and UnixWare, and all of SCO’s legal cases go down the drain! YES! :)
PJ can now wear her red dress and dance, right after putting up this new post on Groklaw:  Court Rules: Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights! Novell has right to waive! That’s it for [...]

As you probably know if you’ve read this blog for a while, I’m a firm supporter of open source and open standards. What you probably don’t know is that I also am an Apple fan of sorts.
The only Apple object I own is an iPod Shuffle, but I believe that nobody does consumer computers better [...]
