Truth be told, I probably won’t upgrade to Vista until I’m forced too. Most likely they will make the next version of Visual Studio only Vista compatible and then I’ll have to upgrade. But until that happens I’ll happily chug away using my Windows XP and Visual Studio 2005.

So I’ve got Apple iPhone fever. It’s such a switch from my current crop of phones (Motorola Q, MPX220, P900, P800) that I can’t not be excited about it. Hell, I’m even going to get out of my contract with VZW early I’m so sexed for this phone.

At casa de JT’s we are totally bout the Cuisinart Grind and Brew Thermal. It grinds, brews and keeps the coffee warm for hours. It’s what the old timers would call, “the cat’s meow.” Unfortunately, after about 3 years it’s starting to crumble and will need to be replaced soon. There are a few out [...]

So this past weekend, I earned a sizable gift card from Best Buy (thanks AMEX Wishlist) and used that to purchase a PS3. There was no way that I would pay full price for the thing but a bunch of money off changes things a bit for me (plus my BB had 25 on hand, all [...]

For the lazy, a link to part one.
So after having myself a good cry, I collect myself and start to make calls to whomever would listen. I called my service person who came up with the first great idea, just take the battery cable from another 5 series and put it in my car. Holy [...]
