keyboard music

I’ve been struggling with my Logitech keyboard and mouse combo for months now. Maybe years. The good people at Logitech make some nice products, but unfortunately, they can’t write Mac drivers to save themselves. The Logitech Control Center is a well-documented piece of shit and I’ve suffered long enough. Most recently, every time I load [...]

Xbox 360 Replacement + AAC iPod Support = @#%^&!!

The past few nights, I’ve been trying to hook up my iPod to my Xbox to get some LCD Soundsystem out of my speakers while playing the new 3D Ultra Miniputt on the Xbox Live Arcade. This is usually a pretty trivial thing. The past few nights however, I’ve been plagued by the inability to [...]

Clearly an infringement on my own trademarked nickname, they have mashed-up my domain name and tweaked the [...]

MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo

Well shit. Last week I said I’d still love my MBP even if they released one with a Core 2 Duo… IF They Released them in November! They couldn’t even give me one more lousy week. adding more stuff… Notably, there’s a 200GB hard-drive option spinning at 4200RPM. I think this would be quite slow [...]
