[A note before I start: the impressions and opinions I'm expressing here are based on Dell's offerings at the time I wrote this piece. Things will probably change eventually. I really don't need someone to point to me that "Dell's 1420n has discrete graphics". At the time I'm writing this, the 1420n [...]
I mentioned earlier that yesterday was my wife’s birthday. The big gift for her birthday this year was an Epson Stylus Photo R380. Yes, she’s that kind of girl (the kind who likes electronics as gifts) and I’m that kind of guy (who is apt to give electronics as a gift to his [...]
Meh…
I just caught a glimpse of a show called “Divorce Court”. It seems to be some sort of show where people with marital problems air their grievances in front of a judge. Anyway, just as I come across that show I hear the following exchange. I’m paraphrasing but I think I have [...]

Since I’ve moved to the US in 1997, I have never watched any Formula One race… until today. Much to my surprise, I found that Fox is broadcasting the US Grand Prix. I knew that the Grand Prix had come to the US and I knew it was being broadcast. However, in [...]
In my previous post, I included an image. Including images in posts in Dotclear was a huge pain in the ass. I had to leave your editor, go into the gallery manager to upload the image, come back into the editor, etc. etc. I also had to be careful about image size: [...]
In our first floor bathroom, we have a poster of the following painting hanging on the wall:

People who think Apple is the second coming should read this article. The announcement of security vulnerabilities in Safari was made in the context of the release of the Windows version but those vulnerabilities also exist in OSX.
