Well, in an effort to cut the traffic coming to my house and to lower utilization of my cpu on my server I am trying to host this blog on wordpress.com at http://hometownnerd.wordpress.com . Not sure yet how I like it since there are no plugins here and cannot extend it much because of that […]
I do not normally repost stuff from others but saw a post on this today and thought I would share the information I found in it I’m not a fan of iTunes, especially since I use a WP7 which forces me to use Zune. But I do have to admit that one particular feature of […]

Ok, I know I broke the rule and installed the beta on my WP7 trophy, but I heard too many things good about it to not at least try and no one seemed to have difficulty with the install. I also realized that when the official one came out that I would need to revert […]
I really liked the premise behind turntable.fm but never really felt like part of it, so I have decided to stop using it.
