No iPhone 3G For Me
Until November, at least. Many of you have noticed (and expressed hate) at all of my “iXXXXX” away messages ever since the iPhone 3G was announced.

Hello from my new computer!
My old computer, which was more or less a bargain machine 4-5 years ago, began rebooting randomly a few weeks back. If you know anything about computers, you know troubleshooting an issue such as this can cause more heartache, time, and money than just building a completely new system. After a couple of nights trying various things (checking fan speeds, checking voltages, checking temperatures),…
