The first and main setup is going to be a Butterfly Labs 10Gh/sec USB mining unit being driven from a Mac OS X Server. Bitcoin-QT is being used for the wallet and MacMiner will drive the mining unit. Based on some information I’ve gathered from others, I’m going to try and set this one up […]
I’ve read about stories regarding Bitcoins and I’ve finally reached a point where my tech side curiosity has been peaked. I’m decided to make a minimal investment in some mining equipment to see how it works and make some coins if possible. Part of this setup I already have and the other stuff is on […]
Back when I lived in Chicago, and when I was in that 18-34 year old male category, I stumbled upon TechTv’s show “Attack of the Show”. This was a geek tech that covered all things geeky. I also found X-Play for great and honest game reviews. Adam Sesler and Morgan Webb were great. Morgan, who […]
I’ve been listening to all the rhetoric and news blogs. There were somethings I knew and somethings I didn’t know about.

I’ve got a stock 11″ MacBook Air, the 4GB/128GB model. It’s got an 1.6Ghz i5 processor and the only modification I’ve done is great skin on the top from Gelaskins. I wasn’t sure how I was going to like the 11″ screen but to be honest it’s been fine. It’s running at a 720p resolution […]
I stopped by the Apple store today for lunch and found myself plugging away on an 11″ MacBook Air. I have to say overall I’m generally impressed by what I saw. The size of it and how you can set it in your lap and type away is really impressive. The fact that it doesn’t […]
A friend of mine on Facebook just asked that question. Someone he knew with two kids and a wife just passed away at the young age of 37. Those of you that know me know I lost my wife who was 40 and I’m now raising two very young kids. So this question of control […]
