Rising Crust Microwave Pizza?

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

I just tried one of those new DiGiorno microwave pizzas today. I was skeptical at first but figured I should at least try it. It was surprisingly delicious! Not only was it nice and crispy, but because of the microwave technology, it was cooked evenly throughout. I honestly believe the [...]

1TB Hard Drives

Wednesday, April 6th, 2005

Hard Disk Drives from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies
I still find it amazing at how storage capacity has increased over the years. I still remember my first computer that even had a hard drive. It was an “Atari PC” which actually resembled a mac, more than PC. It had a 300MB external hard [...]

Piles!

Tuesday, April 5th, 2005

No, I’m not talking about that Mac OS concept… The construction crew dumped a bunch of dirt in the court the other day just outside my condo. Hopefully this means they’ll be landscaping soon.

Google adds Satellite Images to Google Maps

Monday, April 4th, 2005

Google has done it again! Impressed me that is. Google has quietly added a “Satellite” link on its Google Maps service. What’s more impressive is the fact that it aligns the satellite image to the drawing almost perfectly. Of course, the dragability (is that a word?) is a nice touch. [...]

Block out the sun!

Sunday, April 3rd, 2005

Normally I like the sun, but it’s really annoying when you’re trying to look at an LCD monitor or big screen TV (or trying to sleep-in). We finally picked out some shades last week for the condo. We went with
Hunter Douglas
through Costco of all places. We chose honeycomb top down / bottom up [...]

Saturday, April 2nd, 2005

Robert Scoble recently interviewed Steve Gillmor about attention.xml, a standard that helps you keep track of what you’ve read, what you’re spending time on, and what you should be paying attention to. Very interesting.
They also mention Del.icio.us, Rojo, and other technologies like Pubsub.
