Today I turn 22 years old. In the last year I have done a lot of things I’m happy about but I won’t dwell on them here. I’m looking to the future and especially this upcoming year. I only have 5 classes left at Georgia Tech until I receive my degree and I have already completed the harder Computer Science [click to continue…]

Back in May I did a bit of traveling and became somewhat paranoid about the Internet connections I found at various hotels. I began using SSH tunnels to protect my web traffic when using Internet connections I did not trust. While setting up an SSH tunnel is a fairly trivial matter for those familiar to the command line, it’s not the same for everyone. [click to continue…]

I just got back from the midnight showing of Disney/Pixar’s latest flick, Wall•E. I’m here to recommend that you see it at your earliest convenience. I am no movie critic but I can easily tell you it was great and not more than a few minutes passed between theater-wide laughter (Rotten Tomatoes rates it at 98%). If you have a Mac or have worked with them, you’ll quickly notice a nice homage to Apple. [click to continue…]

As you might be able to piece together from the title of this post, I was a bit wrong. [click to continue…]

When Firefox 3.0 was officially launched last Tuesday, I updated my copy of Firefox and installed a few select browser add-ons. This included my normal batch of add-ons like Firebug, YSlow, Delicious Bookmarks, and a recently discovered Quartz inline PDF plugin (nifty!). Then I found out about Feedly. [click to continue…]

Hot laptops are nothing new. Even with smaller processor fabrication, laptops keep getting smaller making it hard to effectively cool them without a large heatsink or loud fan. Case in point – my MacBook Air is a heater and it doesn’t help that the exhaust vent is angled down. I end up moving it around in various awkward lap positions while in classrooms with stadium seats that [click to continue…]

In the first part of this Going HD series I discussed the arrival of a 50-inch Samsung plasma HDTV as the core of my new HD setup. I’ve spent almost two weeks with the HDTV and I have no complaints thus far; it’s a stellar display. The only problem has been getting 1080p HD content on the display to really use it.
