Personally I’m not that big a fan of baseball, but more I’m a fan of ESPN, and they sometimes play baseball, so I watch it, and the highlights.
Something caught my eye today, with the whole announcement by A-Rod that he will opt-out of his contract with the Yankees, and the day the announcement was made [...]

So I just got a copy of Leopard from work (we did a Family pack buy), and now that everything is installed, I’m ready to start testing out the new features.
First of all, I want to advise anyone who is going to be installing leopard to be sure to do an Archive & Install as [...]

After seeing the announcement on a couple of blogs yesterday, I decided to throw my .02 into the mix.
Engadget and TechCrunch both picked up the story from DownloadSquad, and I thought I should weigh in on the comments from Mark over at Tech Crunch:
We’ll have to see how Google plans to monetize Gmail with IMAP, [...]

Too many times have I seen a parent’s desktop, and it’s cluttered with all sorts of random icons, and shit, including stupid help files, installers, etc.
Now you don’t have to be a techy to understand that you do not need the file to install your programs once it has been installed. In the event you [...]

Okay, volume 6, hopefully you’re learning something by now.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I seem to get hungry a lot.
I try to follow the 6 meals a day plan (story coming soon), and as such, I’m required to eat just about every 3 hours.
So, to ensure I don’t go re-re and keep [...]

So I hope you guys have already read my first post about Getting Things Done, and are already working your mailbox like a champ.
To recap, to get started, you should create 3 mailboxes:

Action – for items that need to be completed soon
Hold – for mails you may need in the coming week
Archive – anything that [...]

Well, I am a productivity nut, but have never embraced the whole Gettings Things Done from David Allen.
Basically it is a technique or method for achieve higher efficiency in your daily actions. All of their techniques are a bit too complicated for me, so I decided to start with one of the simple principles.
Mailbox Dominance
Normally [...]

Okay, volume 5, done.
For me it’s really tough to get the motivation to work-out at the end of the day.
You can either go home and watch The Office or you can go to the gym for an hour …f that.
And I know I just told you to to go the gym to watch The Office, [...]

Volume 4 of fat blogging, now becoming a full-on series, yay !
A lot of people hate to work out, but love to work, so why not turn working out into work?
To get you into the right groove, start out slow.
Come to the gym with your blackberry in hand, and sit down at the exercise bike [...]

This is the third volume of my fat blogging series, and I hope this has been helpful to some people out there …
So to keep these tips quick and to the point, here we go:
Say you out with your friends for dinner, and being the informed health enthusiast that you are, you know the healthiest [...]

Well, it appears we, Grooveshark, have had quite a day of coverage today.
Duncan Rileys of TechCrunch did a short write-up of our announcement to up compensation from $.10 to $.25.
This is in addition to our announcement of a promotion we are doing tomorrow where we are paying $.70 of the price of every song bringing [...]

“We have controlled content in an advertiser-friendly environment,” said Spiralfrog founder and Chairman Joe Mohen, who appointed a new management team earlier this year after losing two senior executives, who are now consultants to Qtrax. “People were discovering music in one place and then downloading it somewhere else.

What’s the line from Good to Great about doing one thing really well, as opposed to trying to be all things to all people?
Oh yeah, Tivo isn’t great, and never will be. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve owned a Tivo, and think they’re pretty cute, but when you put the numbers to the paper, their [...]

Hopefully facebook has not forgotten its roots and is destined to become the center of drinking, poking, and general tom-foolery associated with college, and now recent graduate life.
Don’t get me wrong, I love to drink and party, and look at hot girls pictures on facebook as much as everyone else, but I also believe in [...]

Well apparently Apple hasn’t learned anything from their $200 price cut.
I purchased my iPhone on the first day, and even waited 5 hours to ensure I was one of the first to get my phone. Turns out this didn’t even matter, as friends were able to stroll in around 8pm and pick one up.
Regardless, I [...]
