Technology On The Move [photos 2012]

By Brett · Comments (0)
Sunday, January 15th, 2012

This is the exact shot I’ve been hoping for ever since I arrived in Vietnam. Classic Ho Chi Minh City motorcycle/pickup truck scene.

I got this from a moving taxi which is a testament to the lack of shutter lag and speed of the iPhone 4S camera.

I’ve seen more stuff on a motorcycle but this is a pretty good load and it’s geeky to boot. Can you believe this?

Windows Seven Eve

Windows 7 BoxWell, that four months sure went by fast! I placed my pre-order with Amazon.com for Windows 7 Home Premium back on June 28th. I just got the shipping notification and my copy should be here right on time tomorrow. Yay!

Since I’m running Windows XP Pro I’m going to be doing what Microsoft refers to as a custom install. My 160 GB laptop drive has 25 GB free so I’ve decided to do the install on a clean drive (hopefully). I haven’t found a definite answer that this is even possible or not.

At any rate I placed an order this morning for a new 320 GB drive for my laptop, expecting to get it on Friday with my 2-Day Prime shipping. The delivery esitmate is Monday the 26th. My stuff almost always ships the same day. I placed the order early this morning so I’m wondering if all the Windows 7 shipments are slowing up the normal pace of things at Amazon?

Anyway, I’m definitely making the move to Seven, but I’m going to move in deliberate steps. Hopefully someone else will have experience doing an XP upgrade to a new drive over the weekend. If that’s you I’d love to hear from you! I will return the favor as soon as my new drive is delivered.

Dell Vostro 1520 Unboxing

By Brett · Comments (0)
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

vostro-1520My first computer had an Intel 386, 66mhz processor with 16mb of RAM and a 40 megabyte hard drive. This was in the very early nineties, probably 1991. There were 486 “screamers” out then. I wasn’t on the cutting edge by any means but it served me well. It wasn’t running Windows. Oh no, back then I got excited about the brand new DOS 6.1. I’ve been running DOS and/or Windows based PC’s ever since.

I do remember the computer lab in college having some type of Apple computer. Probably an early Macintosh operating system. I never paid much attention to Macs because they wouldn’t run games like Wing Commander, which I spent hours playing between classes. Read More→

Release Windows 7!

I think it’s ready too Kelly!

Kelly Poe is a big fan of Windows 7. So big he started a site to campaign for the release of Windows 7, the newest operating system from Microsoft. I just voted yes!

As Kelly says though, I want Microsoft to take all the necessary time it needs to make sure it is fully baked. Just don’t put it off waiting on more Vista revenue. It ain’t gonna happen! Read More→
