I know that I haven't posted anything new in a long time. My excuse: I moved and I ran out of stuff to post.
Last week I noticed that a few people had found my old guides and had requested more of them. They're coming.
Since my last guide, I've learned a few new tricks and will be sharing them weekly. The first few posts will be about HTPC's, specifically:
This is the first part of a multi-part guide to putting together an HTCP. My goal was to put together a cheap(~$200), small, quiet, and efficient HTPC. The CPU dictates the rest of the hardware so let's start there.
As we get closer to Apple's January announcement, I'm reading more and more articles speculating about the Apple "Tablet" or "iSlate": How big will it be? How will you type on it? How much will cost? Is it just a giant iPhone? What is it going to be used for? Do we need a tablet?

Since the first Mac Minis were released, I've been combing the Internet for a deal. I don't really need another computer but there is something about having this tiny, quiet box on my desk. The price has always been holding me back: it's not in the $400 sweet-spot for a computer.
I'm not sure why I didn't write about this sooner since I have have to deal with misconceptions about web design and web designers daily.

When I bought my first camera, I knew the type of pictures that I wanted to take. My budget was tight, so I bought a Fuji point & shoot. It took great pictures that were sharp and vivid, but the pictures didn't come out how I wanted. A year later, that camera was dropped and gave me the perfect excuse to buy a better one.
