According to CBS MarketWatch, Zune is the 75th best-selling electronic product on Amazon, while the lowly Apple USB iPod Charger is a lofty no. 66. Yep, a power cord was beating down the latest iPod Killer.
The latest stats have the charger coming in at #51, while the 30GB Zune in black trails by ten places [...]
You don't have to tell me about the hazards of the dating world. I've had dates end in complete disaster (by “disaster”, I mean that she was curled up in a ball screaming at me in front of a busload of art gallery attendees) and I've unknowing gone out with an identity thief (but was [...]
Can't sleep…clown will eat me…
After the registration annoyances and the three separate attempts it took to get the damned thing to install, there's been one more annoyance that I've encountered with Release Candidate 1 of Windows Vista.

Duke of URL is a little application that I put together that spits out up to 100 available domain names based on a word or phrase that you [...]
