I’ve finally retired my last CRT monitor. Today I picked up three of Samsung’s new line of widescreen LCD monitors, the 20-inch 206BW. With a native a resolution of 1680×1050, a response time of 2ms and a dynamic contrast ratio of 3000:1, these monitors are perfect for graphic design and gaming. They’re [...]

I recently blogged offhandedly about Ford’s stodgy new crossover replacement for the Windstar, their new Ford Flex, which was less than aptly named in my opinion. Apparently, auto industry critic Peter D. Lorenzo doesn’t think much of the name, either:

The Ford Flex -? Is that a new exercise machine you can order in the [...]

We’ve arrived home safe and sound from our Asian expedition. Everything was just as we’d left it — no problems here at the house, the cars still started just fine, and all the electronic equipment is still working. In fact, I am amazed at the speed of my desktop computer — both from [...]

Today is our final day in Thailand! Tomorrow morning we head for the airport and begin our lengthy, multi-faceted journey home. As much as Apple and I both want to get home, neither one of us wants to spend much time thinking about what we’ll have to endure to get there. At [...]

Glancing back at my “Maseratisti” post from the other day, I got to wondering what seven cars I would choose to stash away in a warehouse if I had the money and space that Apple’s uncle Preecha does. Since such musings wouldn’t be as interesting without visual aids, here’s where my rambling thoughts led [...]

The upgrades have been appearing in markets all over the country, but SWFL was left high and dry…until now. If the Zap2it TV listings are to be believed, our market has finally [...]

Over the last couple days, whilst unable to sleep at one in the morning, I’ve been absently traveling back through the old “Private Oddball” archives from 1994 and onward. “Private Oddball” is the throwaway name I gave to the blog I keep privately on my local machine, which serves as a personal journal of [...]

Another work week come and gone (although it looks like I’ll still be working tomorrow), and with that, Apple and I are now approaching the last few days of our excursion to Thailand.
It’s been a good few days. At work, we’re close to completion on our big new product version, the new user interface [...]

I’ve mentioned Apple’s uncle Preecha before. He’s the man who made a very good living in polymers and has used some of his funds to create a car collection for himself; his most recent addition, the Mercedes R171 roadster, was featured on this site back in February. Today, we finally got to see [...]

Here’s a fun little web gadget.
