Paid Advertising: Macheist

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:36:27 -0500

I've been moving my blog over to my new MobileMe account. Before I cut ties with Vox, I have to evangalize MacHeist. Every Mac owner should take the opportunity to get a sick deal on Mac software. Support the independent developers. Get great sof...

Is college a good investment for your kids?

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:34:56 -0600

My old alma mater has become insanely expense since I graduated college. Not every student is on scholarship, I wonder whether paying full price for my kid’s college would really be a good investment. What if parents just gave their kids the m...

Untimely Reviews: The Dark Knight

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:02:45 -0600

Every now and then, a movie comes along and sets an impossible to beat standard for an entire genre. “Star Wars” did it for sci-fi movies. “Titanic” did it for disaster movies. “The Dark Knight” does it for comic book movies. Two and a half ho...

Unpaid Advertising: My MacBook

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:21:45 -0600

Great Hardware I have nothing but praise to lavish on my MacBook for its construction. Made of a solid piece of aluminum, it is the sturdiest object I own. The size of the MacBook is “just right”. It fits well on my lap for couch computing and...

Rants - don't bother arguing agaisnt climate change critics

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 11:12:23 -0600

My wife asked me to help find evidence and arguments to turn around a climate change critic in our family. He had some evidence that Arctic sea ice is re-freezing at record pace. That would be great news for a warming planet except Arctic sea ice ...

Just Silly - my best hack ever

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:10:24 -0600

I am a big fan of doing more with less (material and work). The best hacks, a.k.a. DIY projects, are the simplest. My Blackberry is no iPhone but it is handy on the road and also makes a nice companion in the office for quickly looking at new e-m...

Untimely Reviews - "No Country for Old Men"

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:47:40 -0600

Do not let the image to the left fool you. I do not own a Blu-Ray player. I did not see "No Country for Old Men" in high definition wide-screen format. I wish I had. Sometimes a movie is so amazingly great that it transcends itself. "Pulp Fictio...

Just Silly - Hollywood often gives birth to twins

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 15:47:35 -0600

I was all set to post about how movies often come in pairs. That is, when a movie about a certain subject comes out, a movie that is very, very similar comes out soon after. Well, those professional bloggers beat me to it, further proving that the...

Rants - We would be doomed or saved if everyone was more like me?

nobody@vox.com(bioadam) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:35:44 -0600

Certainly my cheapskatery, a.k.a. frugalness, has been a constant topic of mine. Maybe I am frugal because I lived below the poverty line during a decade of my college and post graduate studies. When you have little spend, you learn how to get by ...
