I have RockBox setup on my Sansa e250. It adds a few features that are pretty cool. 1. FLAC file playback 2. Audio file bookmarks 3. JPEG image viewing 4. TXT file viewer 5. customizable themes 6. a whole bunch of games. 7. MPEG1/2 video playback 8. preservation of original firmware via bootloader 9. file tree browsing and playback 10. Gameboy Color emulator. 11. DOOM! I didn’t even know about FLAC support when I installed RockBox and it is my favorite feature. So if you have a device that supports RockBox, I would say go for it.

Bought this weird beast I twittered about yesterday.
I’m a sucker for something that is 25% of the original retail. The “iSee 360i iPod Video/Recorder for iPod” It essentially uses an iPod exclusively as a hard drive and has it’s own processor and screen. It records and plays back video. I forgot I had a 4GB iPod mini sitting around that works perfecly, [...]
kick ass: camera RAW format without buying a new camera
Wired has a really cool Wiki explaining how to get some great new features on a Canon camera using free custom software. It even leaves the existing firmware intact. Biggest addition for me is the ability to shoot in camera raw format (CRW). You will need to convert that CRW to a PNG, but that [...]
Barack knows art!

I despise DSL.
I thought I had gotten away from it, after my year of pain back in 2003 with a DSL contract. It seemed like a better deal, but I missed Cable BB (and learned my lesson). Now after 5 years not having to deal with DSL, my parents have it (sounds/feels like a disease). DSL is [...]
Why do I have so many MP3 players?
I finally broke down and bought an MP3 player that is smaller than the 3 I already have. I decided, as I am working out almost every day, that I needed a smaller PMP primarily for working out. I wanted something that was: 1. cheap 2. small 3. had a memory card slot so I [...]
Looks like things are a bit faster
I have disabled all but 3 plug-ins for WordPress and things seem to be responding a little quicker now. It was really bad for a minute; it took about 26 seconds for the site to load yesterday… ouch Now I need to figure out why Twitter Tools posted my daily digest the first day and [...]
Even closer…
Thanks to this post, I think I now have the silly prefix removed from the blog WordPress to Twitter handshake.
