kinda like batman, but with a wife and 3 kids

I bought $180 of in-ear headphones to try out (the Shure SE210’s and the Sennheiser CX300’s) and both of them, I think, made me feel dizzy to the point of falling over and feeling like I was going to hurl my guts out the next morning. I’ve blogged previously about motion sickness, but this is [...]

The Hori screen protector that I have on my PSP has managed to become poked and has subsequently created a bubble on my PSP’s screen. So I was looking at getting an InvisibleShield screen protector, being that they’re all but bullet-proof. And then I saw a couple of crazy nuts that talked about just buying [...]

I was going to update my previous post about the amazing movie, Copying Beethoven, with this, but I am sufficiently taken to generate a new post. Kerry Candaele commented on my last post with a link to his forthcoming movie called Following The Ninth, so I visited his site and I am very, very impressed. [...]

I just watched one of the most amazing movies that I have ever seen: the excellent Copying Beethoven.
I have always been deeply fascinated with the genius that is Ludwig van Beethoven. I grew up listening to my mom playing his pieces on our piano, and have enjoyed the complexity and overwhelming emotion found both in [...]

Now, this one I’m really speaking out of the side of my head on… This is totally based on first impressions of NetBeans, albeit after 3<x<5 hours have been invested in said first impressions…
I’ve been using Eclipse and CDT for a while for my day job at VMware (which, by the by, totally rocks!!!). And [...]

sudo zypper update:

I’ve been looking for a way to have VIM functionality inside Eclipse for a long time. SlickEdit has it, sort of, but it’s prohibitively expensive and ugly. And then I saw this nifty little vimplugin sourceforge project and got my hopes all up. Sadly, it’s not quite there yet. After figuring out how to associate [...]

Oh No’s! My beloved Moleskine has torn itself asunder! Behold, the ripped binding.
For $15, you’d think they’d be a little more resilient than this!
And no, my deluxe custom black duct tape pen holder is not to blame (I don’t think?).
Oh, intrepid fellow Moleskine users: is this kind of senseless violence unprecedented?
[ Update (2008-03-19: ] Moleskine [...]

I ran across this on Planet Gnome…

It actually felt pretty good to “unplug”, as it was put in The Matrix, and allow my brain to focus on nothing other than family, video games, and good old-fashioned American football today. I just realized today that I’ve not had an truly restful weekend in about 3 months, what with new job, travelling, trying [...]

Ooh, just saw this excerpt from Aaron:
in other news, Matt Rogers has set up a review board installation which i want to start using to streamline the patch review process in plasma. Matt has set up a group for Kopete already, i’ve noticed, too. if all goes well, we’ll find a permanent home for it [...]
