Well it’s Dec 31st, and still no Asus Transformer Prime being shipped out to me. Best Buy order status now says “stock” but not shipping. Their last update said it would be shipped Dec 30th. Even with them apparently having them in stock they still haven’t shipped. It was first supposed to ship by Dec… Read More »
It appears that BestBuy has had to push the pre-order release date for the Transformer Prime back again, for us pre-order guinea pigs. It’s now Dec 30th. Originally when I placed the order, they speculated that the delivery date would be Dec 9-12th. What’s another month if they can work the bugs out. At least… Read More »

They originally posted that is was expected to be shipping between Dec 9th and 12th. They later sent me an email that is was delayed till… Read More »

I… Read More »
My home made Segway like platform threw me the other day. I think it was a bad dead man switch. It stalled momentarily while I was going down the basement hallway and it nose dived, throwing me over the handlebars and on to the ceramic tile floor, scraped/cut my legs a bit, hit my head… Read More »
I finally got around to building my Self Balancing Platform, otherwise known as a home made Segway. I documented the completed project in my first YouTube video. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngMJcxeB7og&w=640&h=390]
So I’m watching an actual NASA podcast video the other day, and the NASA hired narrator refers to the Gemini space flights as Jiminy, pronounces it like the cartoon cricket’s name. Can you believe it? How incredibly sad is that?! First it’s sad for a NASA employee not to know how to pronounce it correctly,… Read More »
A few days ago I received an email from the DivX organization with their usual software discount promo, half price like it seems to be every 6 weeks. But I noticed a new item, the Muvee Reveal easy video editing software. I’ve used several different video editing suites that can be bought for… Read More »
The few of us that are left (I assume not many) as paying customers on Gizmo5, received this email from Google…I mean Gizmo5…in the past day. They are finally killing it off entirely, in my opinion. I think Gizmo5 was the slickest VoIP provider around. Easy to set up, add to voip phones, Asterisk servers,… Read More »
