  • Augmented Reality on the Road….

    I’ve been a fan of the potential of augmented reality for some time, but the limitation of having to print out and use those funky registration images has always been there. A lot of people are working on solving/helping this problem. One of the groups that has come up with a novel approach is Mobilizy…

  • Photo: San Diego and surrounding/Austin and surrounding Hill Country

    Since I’ve had the Flu for the past couple of days (yeah great way to end a great trip), I’ve been at home and had a ton of time to get these pics cooked up . These shots were taken during my recent trip to San Diego, CA — to attend CSCW2008 — and Austin, TX…

  • Fantastic Waterfigures

  • µTorrent (uTorrent), now available for OSX…..

  • Energize your Apple TV based Media Centre machine with BOXEE….

    I was lucky enough to get a alpha Boxee account and I have to say…..It’s slick. If you haven’t tried it, head over to boxee.tv and sign up for a invite (Mac OS and Linux only for now). If you already have an account you might be interested in this tutorial video that shows you…

  • SharePod…..The only tool you need to maintain your Ipod

    I came across sharepod the other day while looking for a Ipod offload tool for OSX. My Ipod was full with music I wanted to keep, but I was leaving on a long trip so I wanted to have some movies and tv-shows with me aswell. To make a long story short, as much as…

  • OSX: Time Machine backup to NAS

    Let me first state that this has been tried in my environment and it works. It might NOT work for you. Try it first and make sure your backups are clean and good. I have a OSX server (10.5.5 as of this writing) that needed to be backed up and am using a QNAP TS-409…
