I picked up a guitar in Canada late August.  I got an inexpensive one at a pawn shop just in case I don’t keep it up.  I connect it to my computer and use the lessons in GarageBand and really enjoy them.
Currently, I am learning Limelight from Alex Lifeson from the band Rush.  I REALLY [...]

Video-Saw this multi-touch demo on Geekbrief.tv

August 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Computer, Default, Geek

This is a great use of multitouch.  I just wonder how long you have to prepare everything.  Like getting all of the movies and pictures set up.  Otherwise it is very interesting.

iPhone or real GPS?

August 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Default, Geek

Answer: Use a real GPS.
I have traveled a good bit recently.  I have used a Garmin GPS in the RV, a Toyota GPS in the wife’s minivan and also an iPhone to supplement both at times.  The biggest thing is when you have no service (read – AT&T sucks!) you will not have map data. [...]

July 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Default, Geek

So Tom and I are just about ready to head out to start our big trip. One of the things we want to do is to drain all the sediment out of the hot water heater. I’m nursing Zoe so Tom decided to go ahead and do that while I’m busy. He says “It’s just [...]

IPhone or Palm Pre? Help me decide!

May 26th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Default, Geek

Since I have to get a new phone anyway, perhaps I should throw the Palm Pre in to the mix. I always loved my Palm Treo. That sucker would still be working today if I would have kept it. It was a rock that did more than I could have asked. I was disappointed when [...]
