I normally have super powers when it comes to persevering through annoying technical problems. On rare occasions, Kryptonite appears out of nowhere and strips me of those powers.

Droid Rocks
For those who don’t like to read, I’ll start with my bottom line, then give lots of details:
I love the Droid, it’s one of the best devices I’ve ever owned, and I’m a gadget freak!
A little background before I begin what will inevitably be a very long post. I’m a geek, but I’m often late [...]
No GLEE Here
Now that the regular TV season is over, I’m a little more attuned to potential new shows to watch, particularly during the summer.
I really like Jane Lynch a lot, in particular her turns on Two and Half Men (one of my favorite comedies). So, when I saw a commercial for a new show called Glee, [...]
PeopleBrowsr Boggles the Mind
Twitter is a phenomenon. It’s one of the hottest topics in the media now, not just the tech media. Most non-Twitterers roll their eyes when someone tries to explain what they’re missing. Many first-time users abandon it pretty quickly too.
I’ve been using Twitter consistently for over two years. In my opinion, there are quite a [...]
Twitter for Business Webinar
I rarely accept invitations for Webinars (online seminars). I know Twitter reasonably well, having used the service regularly for over two years. Why then did I attend a Twitter for Business Webinar this past Thursday?
Two reasons:
I knew one of the primary presenters for a number of years, so I had reason to believe this wouldn’t [...]
Gaining Leverage
This post will cover a few related topics. They’re all about TV shows.
We probably watch too much TV, and I make no apologies for it. We lead reasonably intense lives and watching TV shows works wonderfully to help us escape and unwind. I have more forgiving tastes than Lois (meaning, I would watch a lot [...]
Trust the Sidux.com Home Page
If I detailed all of the hurt I caused myself (entirely my fault) in this one post, I’d be typing for hours. I’ll spare myself (and you) all of the gory details, and summarize.
If you follow my techie posts (way fewer than my music posts), then you know that I’m a big fan of Sidux. [...]
Farewell Poker
I’ve been noting the possibility of this day for quite a while, and it’s finally here. I am saying farewell to online poker, likely for quite a while, but also likely, not forever.
I expected the day to come sometime in January, having gone through a very long drought of cashing in a tournament. Then, as [...]
OpenVPN in VirtualBox
There are a number of reasons why you might want to run a VPN on your laptop. The most obvious is that you have to, in order to access files back at the office. Two other likely reasons are security (you are in a public place, and want to encrypt all traffic) and unfettered access [...]
Two Flew South
Lois asked me to name this post Two Flew South. She had a good reason, it was clever, so I didn’t hesitate in accepting her suggestion. Let’s not make it a habit though. This is my blog, not hers, and I intend to keep it that way. Of course, all of the photos are taken [...]
