WordPress 3.0.3 is now out, making my last blog post seem a little outdated. It fixes another nasty security bug, so please, head on over to WordPress.org (or your admin panel) to update. This security update was on a tight turnaround, so be sure to go to your Plugins or Updates tab and re-update Akismet […]
WordPress 3.0.2 has been released, and fixes a nasty security bug. I’m posting mostly because it hasn’t shown up in the Updates tab… click over to Updates in your WordPress backend to update as soon as possible. An alert should flash on your WordPress backend anyways within a day or so, but this one’s important […]
Good news, my contact form is working once again. Sorry for the downtime.
This part is very brief, thankfully. And, even more thankfully, it’s the conclusion. After another round of calls, a case researcher called me back and re-re-re-asked me the same identity questions I had been asked several times. Then they asked me to fax over my driver’s license. They confirmed that I didn’t even have the […]
I just updated the home office with all-new printers. The nice thing about Black Friday this year is that it’s pretty phased out, instead of being wedged into the 3-5 AM rush period on Friday. There are very few doorbusters that encourage camping out. I expect sales volume to be up, but retailers are smartly […]
I’m going to start chronicling a matter that has been burdened upon me, but I haven’t written about until now. It’s a new form of identity theft. Essentially, cash-strapped states want to find people to get money out of them. So, they’re running identity searches, and hassling people with similar/identical names to the deadbeats that […]

There was a brief period where some stores were selling TiVo Premier on the new, contract-driven pricing, but with the old terms and conditions (e.g. being able […]
Please see update at the end of this article… You’ve probably seen these deals from time to time, if you’re a serious bargain sniper online. Brief periods where the latest-and-greatest TiVo is sold, typically from an obscure-but-reptuable retailer, for an insanely-low price like $99. I finally was able to lock in the purchase on one, […]
Safari Reader has been out for awhile. Some of the dust has settled, and Apple has tweaked the product a bit since it was initially rolled out in Safari 5. As the owner of a publishing company, I have some problems with Safari Reader. They run deeper than profit motives however. First, Safari Reader bypasses […]
The iMac has a nifty new feature (well, for iMac, anyways). It has both a 2.5-inch drive bay and a 3.5-inch drive bay. Now yes, you can use that 2.5-inch drive bay to house that old hard drive from your PlayStation 3 (before you maxed it out). However, the reason that it is there, is […]
