Email Problem

Infinite Loop

Very weird email problem today. I have this repeating email error message that I can’t delete. Or to be more precise, I can select it and throw it in the trash and even delete it from the trash but it automatically repopulates in my In Box. I deleted the offending email off the POP-Server but [...]

Left to right: Nikon Coolpix 4500, Canon PowerShot SD800IS, Sanyo Xacti HD2 I got a new camera and this time it’s a video camera that can also take photos, as opposed to a camera that can sometimes shoot video. As you can see from the photo above my new camera (on the far right) is [...]

A toast to Travis’ last day at work for the paper at the Mixx Bistro. Our toast was with a shot of some kind of Patrón XO Café coffee flavored tequila and some kind of rapsberry creme liqueur floated on top. Tastes like melted Häagen-Dazs coffee ice cream.

Apple phone

iPhone – iChat = Wait and see

So Apple finally unveiled the iPhone, or maybe it’s really called the Apple iPhone since they have that apple logo before the name on their site since Cisco (via Linksys) has an iPhone announced last month.
