Pod People
I feel so weird today. Yesterday, I broke my ipod. Apparently, it was one too many drops to the asphalt that did it in. Now all I get is the sad mac icon. Oh well, it was a 4th generation ipod that I bought used off of ebay more than a year ago. I mean, [...]

I have a Pownce account @ http://pownce.com/jasonwert/ I’m not sure how or if I’m going to use it, but there it is. Check it out, if you are interested. If you’d like an invite to Pownce, I have 6 of them. I’ll just need your email address. You can send your email address to me, [...]
I’m a fan of fans
I discovered another problem with my Dell work laptop and Vista. Apparently, when the laptop gets too “hot” it cuts the power to the CPU. This caused my 2Ghz processor to run at 700Mhz. Vista does not run well on what amounts to a Pentium III, 5 or 6 year old computer. Part of the [...]

I want my podcasts!
I’m a big fan of podcasts. I was an early adopter and have been listening to sme of my favorite podcasts for almost two years now. As much as I like to listen to podcasts, retrieving them can be a pain in the ass. Almost all the problems I run into relate to trying to [...]
GameCube Fun
I have become totally obsessed with the video game “Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (AWL)”. Kris was given a GameCube on Thursday and we have been fighting over it ever since. She loves the game “Animal Crossing“. It’s funny because both of he games are pretty similar. Both games are simulations, much like “The Sims“. [...]
