I want to go Supersonic

“Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound…”

All those except for the leaping thing maybe true of the latest device that has my fancy. It was rumored a few months ago when it was leaked on the Sprint product roadmap as the HTC [...]

I have to say I am really enjoying Windows 7 Ultimate. Since I switched my Dell 2100 from Ubuntu to this latest offering from Microsoft, I have been thoroughly pleased. Its clean, light, with just enough candy to make the experience not so bland. Maybe its a commentary or maybe not but I have to [...]

I fell further in love with my little netbook when on a whim I broke out Quake II and Driver. The joy of long late nights playing Q2 with my boys over a LAN game suddenly rushed over me. It was epic. Amazing to see that such a small machine just cranked out the video [...]

The revolutionary internet device has been released and the better part of the tech world said “meh”. Unfortunately the hype surrounding the iPad made living up to said hype as improbable as Bigfoot actually speaking the queen’s english and inviting everyone over for scones. The reality is that Apple’s last few revolutionary devices were just [...]

The upcoming rumors of the mythical Apple device has the whole internet a buzz. Research into patents, companies that were acquired, website registration, and even a HIGH bounty for pictures, video, or physical interaction. There is reason to believe that this could be Jobs last hurrah and a parting device for all of us to [...]

After installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my Dell 2100 I have once again fallen in love with Ubuntu. I am just blown away at how snappy and responsive it is even with just an Atom N270. The fact that this little netbook operates so well with such little hardware power is a hat tip to [...]

I finally succumbed to some weird funk that my body has been in for a few days and decided to stay home and be sick. Hopefully I can recover with the 3 day weekend giving me an advantage. In the mean time though I decided to try my had again at some light hacking. My [...]

I love finding little places that serve the best food and have really good history. Piedigrotta is now my favorite foodie spot in Baltimore for desserts and goodies. What is also amazing is the claim to fame that Carminantonio Iannaccone was the man who invented the Tiramisu. This past week over Christmas I went to [...]

Wordpress updates = Frustration

December 21, 2009 - 20:41

Posted in Blog, Tech | No comments

I love the open development of Wordpress because there is constant security updates and usability fixes. The downside is some of my extensions lose their functionality. I have so many neat little plugins that I would love to have work, but the ever changing version numbers of Wordpress keep my plugins from working. Well I will [...]
