If you use Google Voice on Android for free calling via "my faves" or Verizon's "Friends & Family," you're going to want to steer clear of the Google Voice app's new updates.  The reason stems from their changes to the Direct Access number.

First of all, unless you live under a rock, you're at least heard of the buzz Verizon has been building concerning the Motorola Droid X. This phone has not been unheard of, or unseen. It was leaked first as the Motorola Shadow. Yesterday, July 15, 2010, was the Droid X's debut on Verizon's all-star 3G network.

A flash mob from The Ohio State University randomly start dancing to a song in the middle of Ohio Union. Brutus Buckeye shows up, along with OSU President B. Gordon Gee. Awesome!

Well, I just wanted to let the world know that I am alive and well! Haha. Of course, those of you in my life know that well, some of you only in my website land only know the beginning.

09/05/2009 07:40 PM — Apparently the problem is with the solder joints. I called HP and determined even if they cover the damage, because I am past 24 months, the replacement motherboard would only be discounted $150 so the cost of HP repair would be $250. I googled the issue further and saw some advanced / expert users (a category I classify myself in) attempting some black voodoo. I also googled and found replacement motherboards that I could use myself for $185 - so I knew I could try some manual repair techniques myself.

08/24/2009 02:59 AM — I have an HP Pavilion dv9000 series notebook (dv9339us) which I purchased in the summer of 2007. Yesterday, I was playing Counter-Strike: Source, which is a first person shooter computer game that uses OpenGL or DirectX 9.0c. Everything was working properly. All of a sudden, the game started getting incredibly slow. Everything was very laggy, but I noticed that the only thing having problems with the response time was the display / video output.

08/16/2009 11:30 AM — Over the weekend, I updated the site with some new components. I added a contact form, an area to showcase some projects I stay busy with, some information about me professionally (including my resume - as an example for those out there that need help - please know I am very happy where I am currently employed and am not looking for a job).
