I’ve got to come out of the closet on this one – I am a huge fan of the Cybermen. I like them even better than the Daleks. That makes me a minority of a minority in Doctor Who fandom. So my new Cyberman action figure purchase this weekend does make me happy, along with [...]

I have come to peace with my local, can easily walk to it, Hawaiian restaurant, Hawaiian Time. My first visit there a couple months ago was average. Meh. OK. Nothing to crow over and my loyalties remained with the must get in the car and drive to it Hodgepodge. Well, all that changed today with [...]

Well, it’s not 100% complete, but it’s still looking pretty good. Do please check it out for yourself. As of right now, only one page is using frames and not CSS for formatting, but that should change soon enough. The only thing we’re lacking is of course, my habitual lack of progress on the cover [...]

After a considerable delay, of which I of course blame squarely on the AppleTV, pictures of India are now available for your perusal. Not the greatest, but I never claimed to be Ansel Adams. The last couple mop-up pictures of London and Los Angeles may or may not be posted. It’s just a picture of [...]

Yesterday Apple released iTunes 7.3.1 and Quicktime 7.2 fixing various issues and returning after a long absence the ability for QuickTime to play movies in fullscreen without shelling out for a QuickTime Pro key. It’s about time, really since there are lots of other players out there on lots of other platforms, including the Macintosh [...]

The missing luggage showed up yesterday, finally. This officially brings my travels to a close for now. It only took British Airways a week to get it to me, a bit of a far cry from the 48 hours I was originally quoted from the representative. Still, only two items got crushed in the ensuing [...]
