After parking my car in the garage this morning, I walked down stairs to the train platform to see it full of people waiting for a train that wasn’t there. It was now 8:26 and the 8:25 was no where in sight. Annoyed as why the train wasn’t here, I pulled out my Q to [...]

Lately I’ve started seeing some pretty impressive download speeds from Comcast. For example, it took me less than 4 minutes to download VMWare Fusion:

That’s 1.2MB/sec which is pretty damn speedy if you ask me. Ironically, at the office the best I can get is 300KB/sec. Going the other direction, I’ve found that upload speeds are [...]

It didn’t take too long for us to realize that they’d [...]

I’m a fan of MacRumors.com, but every now and again there’s a new post that make me embarrassed to be a Mac user. Just last year, I had to call out the lameness of “MacBook unpacking photos.” Now, there’s this story of some goof bastard who used his video camera to show everyone the new [...]

Since I got my Mac Book Pro last November, I have been extremely disappointed with the stability of FireFox on Intel Macs. The PPC version is quite stable and gives Safari a run for the money. On Intel however, it feels like an alpha-quality product. I have been using Safari, which gets the job done, [...]

So Jim Samples resigned from the Cartoon Network over the knee-jerk reaction made by the city of Boston over the ridiculous ad campaign launched by Interference Inc. The resignation is pretty sad actually since Jim most likely wasn’t directly responsible for the drama. This stunt took place in several other cities as well did [...]

My mother is a breast cancer survivor and I have another family member who is currently fighting the disease. So in support of the National Breast Cancer Awareness month, Damn Handy will be Pink for the month of October!
