Jim Tressel Leaving Ohio State?
I woke up this morning to a RUMOR that Jim was going to leave Ohio State after the 2011 Sugar Bowl. The sources said that it stems from other hidden yet-to-be-released details having to do with the player suspensions indicating a lack of institutional control, something similar to or worse than USC. I like Jim [...]
International Data – iPad & iPhone

All of these are for pay as you go data. England iPhone – Jailbreak required or Wi-Fi Only via Internet sharing on PC or iPad. Did not attempt [...]
Our Trip To London (In December)
We did not think that London would be so dark, but given it’s latitude I should have expected only around 8 hours of daylight per day. This made getting over the jet-lag very tough for us, especially Lilu. She was up most of the nights until 3, until the last night she went to bed [...]
Delta Duty Free at 2AM
We traveled to London from Columbus for an overnight flight. All was fine until around 2AM EST when the Duty Free cart came by. Aside from the loud cart, the noise of yelling “duty free”, it was the hovering around our seats for 20-30 minutes that was really annoying… I was the first to awake, [...]

I knew I wasn’t going to be happy with my 17″ MacBook Pro, so I went online and purchased a 15″ antiglare refurbished one. The problem was that I needed it before I was going to return my 17″ to MicroCenter, so that I could transfer everything over. But then this happened. MBP was placed [...]
My Dell e6400 Woes
About 8 months ago I started having problems with my e6400. The problem was with the video display. Had bad colors, bad response to drivers and intermittent Blue Screens. So I sent it to the Depot to get fixed, the video worked out but then I started having other strange problems. I did not work [...]
Switched Back to PC
I had the MacBook Pro for about 5 days total before I returned it. Here’s the reasons: 17″ was too big. It was awkward and a little heavy. The Glossy Screen. I did not like the glossy laptop screen, Anti-Glare/Matte is the way to go. UI/Metaphor. Not so much here. I could get use to [...]
Made The Switch to Mac
This morning I was all excited about installing new software on my new PC set-up and while installing / downloading something from iTunes, CRASH! The memory on my Dell e6400 stopped responding and just crashed. The Dell would not boot, it would not do anything. I was not certain as to what I was going [...]
Desktop Retirement
I’ve gotten to the point where having a desktop in my home office is not as practical as it once was. A few things have made me switch to laptop + a monitor. SSD Drives – This has made the performance of my laptop just as fast as my desktop (gaming withstanding). I’ve purchased my 2nd OCZ [...]
