Project: Nomad, Getting started

Posted in Project: Nomad | No Comments

OK, its pretty bad when you have to start over before you even start . The original goal of the project was to be a combination of bent aluminum sheets and square tube that were machine screwed together. My first foray into bending showed me that I needed to modify the actual tool used [...]

Project: Nomad, the beginning

Posted in Project: Nomad | No Comments

This whole project started out as a simple hardware update from an aging Athlon X2 gaming system, to a modern Intel based gaming system. I had been very interested in trying my hand at computer “modding” and was originally hoping to make do with a smallish air-cooled tower. That became an i7 based tower. That [...]

Site Upgrade!

ell, hopefully its an upgrade. Ever since I set this up I have wanted to find a free Wordpress theme that took post thumbnails into consideration. I think it looks much better, visually to have that cue. The only trouble now is that I have to manually enter them as I write (poor me).

Recently the set of headphones that came with my 3G iPhone (my second iPhone, I also had the Edge version) started to fail. I live nowhere close to an Apple retail store. What to do? Well it just so happens that Apple has a very painless way to request service for iPhones with their online [...]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Uncaged Edition) Video Game

Pretty obvious how I spent the past few days eh?

After watching the Wolverine flick Thurs/Fri night, I decided to see if I could get my claws hands on a PS3 version of the tie-in video game which is cleverly named “X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Uncaged Edition”. Normally I stay as far away as I can from video games that try to tie in a movie. The reason is simple – the vast majority are absolute poo. In this case, I had seen a review about the game intimating that the game designers were true fans and that the game carried a Mature rating. So, after not being wowed by the film (I still liked it), why not give the game a chance?

It’s about time I posted something here – after all I am paying for the privilege
Funny how with all the other movie reviewing sites out there, and this site’s supposed intent in being a tech-blog, I choose my first post to be a movie related one . Well, I like movies and [...]

This is going to be a quickie (snicker). I just wanted to get the site actually up and running, so a quick shout-out to anyone that has found my little corner of the web.
The site is dedicated to all things technical and gadget oriented that I feel like chatting about.  I intend on keeping the [...]
