Faulty Trackpad Sensor in PowerBook

April 18, 2006

I've had my computer back long enough now to reliably report that it's been successfully repaired. Yes, I can conclusively say that replacing the topcase (or is it top case) and logic board has fixed all remants of narcolepsy. It hasn't fallen asleep one single time since I got it back last weekend. For those [...]

GoDaddy – Customer service done right

April 16, 2006

How many times have I complained, or read the complaints of others, related to various company's poor customer service? If you enjoy that kind of thing, move on. This time, I wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge some web goodness. The back story is, I've used GoDaddy to purchase domain names for my clients [...]

How to Use an MP3 as a Ringtone on a Nokia 6670 Phone

April 6, 2006

Out of all my friends, I was one of the very last to get a cell phone. Then, 2 years later, I was one of the last to upgrade (yes, at MAX two years ago, people laughed at my phone openly). Cell phones have always been, to me, a phone. They make and take calls. [...]

Is Apple Getting Too Big For Its Britches?

March 31, 2006

Here's the deal. I love Apple. I've used Apple products since I started using computers (about 14 years). I really don't want to quit (I have a new video iPod, complements of a dear friend of mine, coming this week). But lately, Apple is starting to look, and act like, a big company. That makes [...]

March 20, 2006

Before I left for my two whirlwind trips, I was interviewed by the guys over at Lodestone Digital for their weekly geek podcast – Lodebearing. We talked about a variety of things including web standards. The only problem was, somehow, since we did the interview over Skype, I came out sounding like the digital chipmunk [...]

Nearly Geeked Out…

March 17, 2006

Wow. That's the only word I have for the conference that was South by Southwest Interactive. That was definitely the largest group of geeks I've ever had the pleasure of meeting at once. And such a varied assortment too. After the daily dose of panel discussions, the parties were booked till 2am. I made sure [...]

South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive

March 11, 2006

With back to back trips lately (an actual skiing vacation to Colorado), I've been more than slammed. And through all this, the repeated narcolepsy of my computer has been loads of fun. But the good news is — my husband and I are at South by Southwest in Austin. Timothy does “music and movie” stuff, [...]

Macintosh Auto Sleep Update and Poll

February 20, 2006

Due to all the "me too" posts on my original blog post about my Mac's terrible case of narcolepsy, I wanted to see if we could compare some things here (and not lose this in the comments of the previous post). I think I've ruled out anything to do with my power cord (or lack [...]

Paul Dell vs Dell Computers

February 16, 2006

This is another one of those David and Goliath stories that always aggravate me. Another case of the big giant shoving around the little guy who has a smaller sword and shield in the hopes he'll just give up. For those that aren't familiar, this story is about Paul Dell who lives in Spain. He's [...]
