Geek Comics

If your a nerd like me, you should be reading geek comics. My two favorites are:
The Joy of Tech
PC Weenies
both well done, current, and quite funny.

QuickTime 7 Disappointments

It’s not a secret that I’m an Apple Zealot. I was eagerly looking forward to QuickTime 7 since its announcement. I installed Tiger on my Mac mini, and was impressed with the H.264 codec, despite it not really supporting my mac mini (not enough CPU apparently, even though it’s rather new) and still [...]

Someone should have used Firefox and Norton AntiVirus

A heck of a lot cheaper than this. Norton AntiVirus 2005 ($22.99 at time of writing), and Firefox (Free, forever) are not nearly as expensive as that phone bill.
It’s not hard to avoid that situation. It really isn’t. An 8 year old can do it.

USB drives to get smarter… with Firefox?

CNet has an interesting article up on Smart Drives. They are similar to USB Drives, though:
They developed a technical specification that lets consumers carry their entire desktop, including programs and personal preferences, with them as they travel between home and office. The specification even allows users to launch software and remotely access data on [...]

Intel Inside

A very interesting note here:

Customers with existing PPC G5’s will have the option of a PCI-X based add-on card with a native Intel follow-on to the P4 “D” chip and of-course the Transitive/”Rosetta” bundle. Any other PPC machine bellow the G5 (i.e. G4, G3 machines) are not included on the current roadmap inclusion. [...]

America’s Most Eligible Bachelor

According to this I’m potentially America’s Most Eligible Bachelor. I’m as nerdy as it gets. I’m writing this while taking a break from something that I was really enjoying: debugging a web app! Can you get any more nerdy?
Apparently that article hasn’t quite gotten around yet.

Thank you Symantec

I’ve always liked their software, but now I really like them because of their business. This is great. I’ve spoken about this before. This is very important for all computer users.

Project Naming

It’s long been a tradition to name products, revisions, and milestones. We’ve all done it. We all still do it. Sometimes the names are rather boring “Longhorn”, sometimes a bit more creative. Looking at the Firefox roadmap tonight I noticed ben recently updated it so that Deer Park 1.1 alpha is [...]

I’m a geek

If your reading this blog, you already know that. Well, this blog post gave me a really good laugh [hat tip Photo Matt]. It describes me so well. I don’t have that many geeky shirts though as my Firefox shirt is about the only one decent enough to wear (though if you [...]

Safari’s WebKit is now open

Hyatt made the announcement on his blog. Using bugzilla, and CVS. It says it’s even possible to get checkin access if your a contributor with a proven track record. I didn’t see any lxr like tool for viewing source via the web (very handy), or a list of reviewers. Perhaps [...]
