    PSA: Use your computer’s SPDIF connection if it has one

    I’ll just come out and say it. I’m dumb. Clearly. I’ve been listening to music from my computer for ages. Longer than some of you have surfing the Internet, but I’ve never used a computer’s SPDIF connection before. It’s been on my last few primary computers, too.

    Sometime in the past two weeks I decided, with some thought being put into is, to buy a Zune HD. Why, I don't know; I thought it looked neat, and I was thoroughly unimpressed with the new iPods Apple showed off at that Rock and Roll event. For the most part the Zune HD is, indeed, neat.

There's just one small thing: you absolutely cannot read the display in direct sunlight. Don't try to because you can't.

    Anti-texting while driving message hits home WARNING GRAPHIC

    Posted on August 16, 2009 | No Comments
    Before you watch this be warned it’s pretty graphic. I’ve seen plenty of people swerving because of texting - one guy I saw was on his old, ratty Nokia rolling from lane to lane as he texted whoever was most important in his life while traveling 75MPH on I75 in Ohio - and this PSA [...]
