I have a problem with my PC… can you help?! (And if you say, “get a Mac”, you should “get a life”, because I have one.)
So I noticed my desktop background was gone the other day, and I also noticed a new notice from Windows Vista on the right side of the tool bar, where [...]

Published by August 3rd, 2009 in shiny stuff. 0 CommentsSo this weekend, I got a Mac Book Pro. I really like it, but am frustrated, because I have had some issues trying to get my ipod, playlists, and song ratings onto the damn thing without having to manually update it and move each and every song (that would take FOREVER). Thanks to you fellow [...]

Published by July 21st, 2009 in flickr, friends, happenings and shiny stuff. 3 CommentsWhile I wasn’t able to move heaven, I definitely moved a lot of earth to make the pool possible. The “easy set” pool has to be on level ground, and if you look at the picture, you can tell that it STILL isn’t on totally level ground:
However, it is REALLY close, so I am not [...]
5SF: july 17
Published by July 17th, 2009 in five song friday, music musings, music suggestion and shiny stuff. 2 CommentsAfter losing a pair of Bose headphones to the apparent “inevitable” breaking of the damn things, I have been looking for headphones to listen to my music this morning. I have two pairs of in ear-phones currently (Bose in-ear Triport and the Shure sound isolating 210’s), and while I like them both for different reasons, [...]
bow to blu
Published by June 23rd, 2009 in all about me, home improvement, movie musings and shiny stuff. 2 CommentsBasically, Blu Ray has re-invigorated my love of watching movies. I even upgraded Netflix to send us Blu Rays if they are available.
High Definition really is the icing on delicious cake. Now… to stop buying so many of these damn movies!!!
Seriously, though, that’s about all I got. I am STILL finishing up small things [...]
sony fail: let me count the ways
Published by June 9th, 2009 in is it just me?, mixed media, movie musings, shiny stuff, venting, well? and wtf?!. 6 CommentsSo I finally caved and bought a PS3. I was hoping there would be a price drop announced last week at E3, which is what I have been waiting for before I bought one, but there wasn’t even a hint of such a thing happening any time soon. Since the PS3 is only $100 more [...]
The Moody/Robinson household now has Blu Ray.
Rejoice.
UPDATE: I decided making a Blu Ray specific page was silly, because I will most likely get a lot of them; so I will just put a BR next to the title in the DVD library if it is a Blu Ray disc that I own (this will [...]
use a blackberry and hate the internet browser?
Published by June 3rd, 2009 in listen up!, mixed media and shiny stuff. 8 CommentsThen this post is for YOU!
I was informed that there is an alternative to the “slow as dial-up” browser that I have been using for almost two years on my Blackberry Curve; Opera Mini. I downloaded it, and INSTANTLY, I was getting the internet speed I have been paying for, but never getting all of [...]
ipod in the muthafucking car… finally
Published by May 21st, 2009 in happenings, mixed media, music musings and shiny stuff. 6 CommentsAfter having several crappy FM tuners, and basically giving up the dream of being able to play my ipod in my car with decent sound, I have, ladies and gentlemen, WON the battle.
From the time I got my first ipod MANY years ago, I have always loved having my entire music library at my [...]
