New webcam

Video of me ranting about my new webcam. Sorry for lack of embedding the video, I couldn't get it to size right, so a link will have to do.

Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 - For testing purposes only...

Today, Mozilla released the first beta of Firefox 3.6. I will include the link at the end of this post. First, I want to warn you, that it is still very much in beta. As far as stability goes, it is better than average. Mozilla has always done a good job in there area, in my opinion. With that in mind, I encourage you to only download and install 3.6 if you know what you're doing. It's not ready to be used for everyday use yet. But anyway, just though I'd inform anyone who was interested. Here's the link, as promised.

Kymera Wand

I know I've tweeted a couple times about this video already, so feel free to ignore this blog. Nevertheless, I wanted to have the video available on my blog for those who wanted to find it easier than searching Youtube. So, here is the embedded video of my Kymera wand controlling my tv.

Powermat - Wireless charging for your electronic devices

Recently, I stumbled upon this handy little device called the Powermat. It can wirelessly charge up to 3 electronic devices. Although it is a little costly, and requires you to also purchase receivers for certain devices to be charged, I still think it's a cool piece of technology. I plan to get one within the next few days, so if you'd like a video review, leave me a comment and I'll post it on my blog. Here's the link to the Powermat - http://bit.ly/1XeXHK

Wind of change

Well, it's been quite some time since i posted a blog. This is because of many reasons. I recently moved from Watertown, to Aberdeen. I got a new job, hence the reason for moving. The new job has kept me quite busy. I am a software developer for Software Innovations. We specialize in writing software for local government agencies, but also do hardware support when needed.

In other news....well, there really isn't any. I am in the process of getting a new car. A 2010 Nissan Maxima is the planned vehicle of choice. Just have to wait a bit longer to get a bit ahead on my bills and rent. Also, while I'm on the topic of purchases...I figured since I am running both windows and Linux systems, I might as well join the Mac scene too. I am planning to buy a Mac book Pro in the near future. I know I know, running all 3? What am I thinking. But I figure If I'm going to consider myself a power user, I should have all 3. Anyway, enough of my ramble, just thought I'd catch everyone up on my life, If anyone cares lol.


Hope all is well with everyone or anyone reading this. Feel free to drop me a comment or shoot me an email. Later

Oh! and PS....if you really want to know everything I'm doing at pretty much any given time, follow me on Twitter...I update my status quite frequently. Facebook is good too.
