I have been running Windows 7 beta and RC bit for a while and my only real complaint was problems with the tablet rotation. The problem was the button on the bezel that that rotates the screen and the auto-rotate that would kick in when you put the screen in tablet mode just wouldn’t work. Today I did...

Just finished setting up an HP Mini 110 (32GB SSD, 1GB RAM, 1366x768) with Windows 7 Home Premium. First I set up a 4GB thumb drive using these great instructions http://blogs.technet.com/aviraj/archive/2009/02/01/installing-windows-7-using-usb-thumb-drive.aspx Then I did a Custom install which blew...

So I haven’t been blogging a lot lately. I know. Since Massa got bonked on the head, it has been hard to concentrate. Thankfully, he is recuperating well and we will get to see Schu do his thing again. On the tech front, I have been very impressed with some of the stuff in Blend 3 with Sketchflow and...

The freak accident that nearly killed Felipe Massa at the Hungaroring during qualifying, really ruined any hope that I would enjoy this weekend’s race.

Now it looks like I will have to spend the weekend lying around doing nothing. Nah, that’s not true. Aside from visiting my Father and Brother In Law, I am going to...

Just testing how photos appear in the new layout....

Today I loaded up a very simple theme I created using Blueprint . I am not even coming close to tappig into the power of this framework, but at least I have a really good starting point. I want to thank Khoi Vinh for putting me on the Blueprint train a long, long time ago. Someday, I hope I can get my...

Every F1 fan I know has been worried about the future of Grand Prix racing. The Bernie & Max show had gotten way out of hand. This season has been a flop ( regulation changes that had little effect on budget or overtaking – including the failed KERS system) Today, Max “KERS & Dungeons ” Mosley...

I just got this in my inbox – it seems to be pretty malicious as the URL really point to the following domain   I have no idea what malice this may cause, and I am not about to find out. UPDATE – I have received this a number of times now with multiple subject lines. Here they are: Microsoft has...
