XTerra Speaker Upgrade

My wife owns a 2000 Nissan XTerra SE that has all the trimmings and it was the first year that the car was offered.  It had some flaws in it as any first run production car has and it has its little quirks that make it unique.  The car is 10 years old this month …

TweetDeck – Twitter app for Desktops and iPhone

I am once again trying out some new software to help keep up with my social network and one that came highly recommended on the net is Tweet Deck.  Tweet Deck comes in two different varieties, the iPhone version and the Desktop version.  I'm using both of them at the moment and it seems like …

Mint.com Improved!

Mint.com is a personal finance website that I've been using on and off for the last year or so.  I've normally favored Yodlee Money Center because they had more tools available but Mint.com is certainly improving themselves for the better.  It also helps that they have their own application for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The biggest …

Beware of Windows Antivirus Pro

Windows Antivirus Pro.... the bane of my sister-in-laws computer!  This is some malicious malware that goes around and makes you think its a real antivirus program.  This thing does nothing but lock up your computer and generally makes life miserable.  I've tried cleaning it out before and for at least a couple of weeks it …

IllWillPress is on YouTube woohoo!

For those of you that don't know, IllWillPress is the home of the Lord and Master.....FOAMY!  I've been watching this cartoon online for about 3 years now and it never goes old.  How can you not like a ranting and raving squirrel?  My favorite entries are the Foamy Fan Mail episodes, the tech support episodes, …

Travel Trouble to DC

This weekend I traveled to Washington DC with my wife for a friends birthday.  As usual I tried to book us on Delta Airlines because I have the most status and points with them from all my business travels to date.  I did have enough points for one ticket so I used that for my …

Blog Automation – Getting your blog to update your Facebook status

As I've been experimenting with WordPress and some new services to get my blog out into the interweb I think I've been relatively successful with my current method so I thought I'd share it just in case anyone wants to give this a try.  Here is my current set up but depending on who the …

Managing Music – MediaMonkey

I have a pretty broad music collection and I've added to it over the years and the one thing that I always try to do is manage it well with tags.  I don't go over board and try and get every little piece of information.  The only thing I really care about is the artist …

Media sync is slow on Windows Mobile

Tonight I'm trying to sync some music to my Treo Pro and its just going way too slow for my taste.  500+ songs is estimated to take around 200+ minutes to sync which is my humble opinion is just way too long.  I can copy that many songs in way less time from computer to …

New Balance 749’s

I"m in the market for some new sneakers and for nearly a year I've been a fan of Asics.  Most recently I've used the Asics GT 2140 (I'm sure there's a post about is somewhere on my blog from a few months ago) as well as the Asics Gel Foundation 8 (my very first pair …
