Posted to blog Caffeinated Pixels on October 30, 2008 4:56 PM

In addition, this new found desire of mine has been ill-timed with another event; my canceling of my Netflix service.

VirtualBox - The Free Competitor to VMware and Parallels Desktop

Posted to blog Caffeinated Pixels on October 6, 2008 4:52 PM

After a little searching, though, I hit gold with VirtualBox - an open source virtualization solution. Of course, the best part about VirtualBox is that it's FREE. It also runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, and OpenSolaris - making it a great solution for virtually everyone! I've been enjoying it so much, I wanted to share a little bit of my experience with this program, and hopefully encourage others to try it!

Bangai-O Spirits for Nintendo DS Brings Pleasure and Pain

Posted to blog Caffeinated Pixels on August 21, 2008 1:41 PM

Bangai-O Spirits is a fine example of Treasure's work, displaying artfully rendered scaling sprites, huge bosses and enemies, and best of all - more missiles than you can shake your mecha at.

The Reigning King Of My Bluetooth World

Posted to blog Caffeinated Pixels on July 2, 2008 2:27 PM

I love my new gadgets and would consider myself an occassional early adopter, when it makes sense (and when the wallet is fatter than usual.) In the realm of mobile headsets, however, I've chosen to kick it old school, and haven't upgraded my headset in years.

MobileMe: Not Just For Hippies (And Why I'm Not Yet Buying An iPhone 3G)

Posted to blog Caffeinated Pixels on June 13, 2008 2:52 PM

This is only one of the reasons that I won't be buying a 3G iPhone. I almost feel an obligation to buy one, being a self-professed Apple nerd. I feel dirty, guilty, and that I should be punished that I'm not totally pumped to get on the waiting list and camp outside the store.
