Eating Your Own 46″ Television Dogfood

By Emile • Sep 25th, 2006 • Category: General

So I recommended it and now I’m here to tell you all about it: the Samsung HL-S4666W 46″ DLP HDTV.
As I had mentioned previously, I was in the market for a new TV, I came across this one. I avoided the impulse buy. Then I completely rationalized my purchase. Soooooooo, how does […]



iTunes 7: Apple’s Piss & Vinegar

By Emile • Sep 20th, 2006 • Category: General

I don’t like being quick to judge things (at least, not very often), but sometimes I just can’t help it. I’ve held off riding the deluge and tidal wave of bad blood towards iTunes new UI because I wanted to form my own opinion. But the kneejerk reaction was simple: I don’t like […]

So it’s take some time, but I have alas finally placed all of the Elvgren code for the Elvgren wordpress theme on Google code!

If you happen to know anything about Subversion and getting a code base installed into Google Code, please leave […]



The Day NYC Became Smallville

By Emile • Sep 11th, 2006 • Category: General

I write this 11 minutes to midnight NYC-time with the thought of how so many things changed just five, seemingly short, years ago. We all became slaves to televisions and anything, literally anything, that held good news as a glimmer of light in a valley of darkness.
I have lived all of my days in […]



Alas it is done

By Denis • Sep 2nd, 2006 • Category: General

It took long enough, but it happened. I finally moved into a nice big apartment and couldn’t help but admire the beautiful setup I have.
All the goodies are in the details: the Canon photo printer, three laptops, 660 gigs of space and two framed prints from India that I’m too lazy […]
