Posted on 22. Dec, 2009 by zevmo.
It is that time of the year!!! I am doing upgrades of machines to Windows 7, and these events always bring me a lot of joy… as a person who makes money fixing problems. Man, can Microsoft make this process any more convoluted? Here I will give you some tools to make the process go [...]

Commute home- Brooklyn to Teaneck
Posted on 20. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
(2:52pm) Jay Street is under construction. I feel like I work at Home Depot… and it doesn’t bother me. A little more crowded now, but you should see it at 5-6. Ahhh, new tile. Now I feel like I am in a shower. Where is my rubber ducky? (2:54pm) On the A train back uptown. [...]

Posted on 20. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
I thought it would be a little fun to make a video log of my commute to/from Brooklyn. Nothing of consequence happened on the way, this morning, but there is always fun in seeing the very slow and worn system that gets us where we need to go everyday. The morning starts at 5:20am. Waiting [...]

Well, I have had some time to play around on MacOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and overall it seems to have been worth the upgrade cost ($10). I did, however, run into a couple fo snags. Understandably, there are a few bumps that need to be ironed out, namely software not developed by Apple. For example, [...]

I’m a Mac… and why MS is unbalanced
Posted on 19. Aug, 2009 by zevmo.
I have to tell you, this is my favorite “I’m a Mac..” commercial. It reminds me of my last trip to Florida when I needed to get some old RAM for a 5 year old laptop. They no longer carried it in the big-box stores, so we ended up going to a local “Computer Repair [...]
