He was born in Canada, but currently lives in Boulder, CO up in Boulder Heights.
Announced today, these include a PowerBook and iMac, both with x86 processors from Intel. With an eye for the dramatic, Paul Otellini (Intel CEO) came on stage in the cleanroom outfit from their ads.
Update 1/16/06: Looks like MacBooks and iMacs with this Intel Duo processor and EFI might be able to boot Windows XP. Now that’s cool!

Which is pretty interesting, because I have a number of 7 year old CDs that are doing just fine, thank you…
Thanks to Dan C. for pushing me that way. This for my Boulder Heights website. It was significantly more complicated than the B2evolution, as I was required to enter all kinds of information and copy it around on the command line.
Do not buy the SC101 from NetGear. Since I work at a hard disk company, this box seemed to make a lot of sense ($119 including shipping), but it’s still buggy as hell. I put two 500GB drives (mirrored) in the box, thinking it would be a good idea to use EMC-Dantz Retrospect to back up my striped terabyte in my desktop. It hangs every time. Unlike other NAS boxes, this is actually a SAN box (I know, I know SANDBOX, hehe). Well, the main difference between NAS and SAN is that the SC101 appears as a LOCAL drive, requires special drivers that don’t work on anything but Windows, and hangs the computer on large transfers (like a backup). It’s clear that ZETERA (the company making the drivers, etc.) has not worked out the bugs on this system. I’ll revisit this review if new drivers solve the problems I’ve been having.
Well, I guess I can use it for other stuff, but it’s been a sincere waste of time, and I’m contemplating moving to USB external storage for backups (or using a second internal terabyte to backup the first).
Western Digital Raptor, 150GB, 10,000 RPM, whopping $350 pricetag. Ouch.
30″, 11 ms response, Dell 3007WFP 2560×1600 resolution, $2199 off the Dell website.
Boy, am I glad I waited before switching to cable (from my Hughes HR10-250 HD DirecTiVo box)
This Series3 box has ATSC, NTSC digital and analog cable tuners built-in. Oh my!

How cool is this?
This mouse stores inside the PC-card slot and recharges there as well…
Sounds like PS3 with Blu-Ray will have competition, with an XBOX360 with HD-DVD and Halo3 in the same time frame… Excellent.

Interesting NPR bit on the Wilhelm scream, one of the most famous movie screams of all time. I like the fact they even used it in a musical…
