Boxee on Apple TV…First Impressions

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

About a week ago, when all of the Boxee hooplah was going on, I bought an Apple TV to install XBMC (XBox Media Center)/Boxee on. I have hacked a few things like the Linksys NSLU2 (aka The Slug) and I have to say, this was by far the easiest install I have ever done. [...]

iPhone Exchange Integration – Review

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Some of you may have read my post on troubleshooting iPhone and Exchange 2003 I wrote up a couple of weeks ago. In case you still don’t know, the iPhone will only work with Exchange 2003 SP2 and Exchange 2007. 2003 NEEDS SP2 to be installed and there is a not so intuitive [...]

Last.fm is the Shizzy

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

I like when I find things online that actually work. Most things are usually someone’s blatant attempt to monetize on someone coming to their site or using their service…which is fine by me. But, it just makes me take notice when I find something that I actually go back and use on my own because [...]

For the impatient types that are looking for their $100 off coupon code for Server Beach, the code is NWX3DCU3BW and my name is Jason Golod (if you need it).

Unlock Your iPhone

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Most of the geeks have seen the YouTube video of the kid that unlocked his iPhone. He, however, did not give out the nitty gritty details on how to unlock your Apple iPhone…all of that has changed now. Apparently Collin Mulliner unlocked a phone today and it works on T-Mobile now. I don’t own an [...]

Krups XP4050 Review – Final

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

For those of you who get excited about having your morning coffee, stay tuned to hear my final thoughts on the Krups XP4050 espresso machine. I have made a few posts in the past about my trials and tribulations with the XP4050. My first impression with the machine was that it was cheap…and, [...]

Capresso 560 Burr Grinder – WOOOT

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Wow, I know I am a loser and all for becoming a coffee fiend, but I was pretty lost up until last night. You see, I was using ESE (Espresso coffee pods) in our Krups XP4050 espresso machine. For a while I thought that the machine was really at fault for making espresso that definitely [...]

Best Airplane Power Adapters

Friday, June 1st, 2007

I get a lot of questions from friends and family members seeing how I am the resident tech guru. One item that I was an early adopter of was the airplane power adapter. I bought a really nice one (read cost over $150) that I had to buy an adapter cord for to work with [...]

Wait, That is a Miata?

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Ok, so I was really happy to hear that Stacey David was back on television after leaving one of my all time favorite shows, Trucks! If there was ever a real life McGuyver, Stacey David is him. This guy can fabricate anything and have a good time doing it. Danielle used to sigh [...]
