I made a few calculations. I hope I did this right.
I am charged about 22 1/2 cents per kWh used. The PowerMac G5 averages about 0.2 kW of power. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Ideally, I’d like the desktop to be on continuously. This is about $394 a year. The Mac Mini [...]
I currently own a PowerMac G5 DP 2.0ghz. It is so awesome!! That is…if this post was written sometime in 2003. Unfortunately it was written in 2008. The computer still performs great, the problem I have with it is the amount of power it uses. My handy dandy power calculator machine (Kill A Watt) [...]

I’m not a jetsetter. I’m just a regular guy. I already have cable with the requisite wireless router. In my life, I’m in one of two places: home or work. I don’t even go to the local coffee shop all that often. Yet for some reason I still want to get an EVDO [...]

I’ve been looking for a portable camera that has the quality of a DSLR for about 25 years, I mean forever. Sure there are point and shoots that have 12 megapixels, but the quality isn’t the same. The pictures look noisy and soft. There is too much depth of field. And there just isn’t enough [...]

An Epson Stylus Pro 11880 is a super mega fantastic ultra awesome 64 inch large format inkjet printer which uses Epson’s third generation ultrachrome (pigmented) inks for the low low price of $14,995. This is a relative bargain when you compare it to other large format printers from companies you’ve never heard of like Roland, [...]

What is it about this little black box that makes me want it so badly?
In a nutshell, a Drobo is a super easy proprietary redundant RAID-like hard drive enclosure that allows you to almost infinitely upgrade the drives inside. What is especially awesome other than its good looks is you don’t need to buy [...]
