Forbes has a great infographic showing migration patterns at the county level in the US. The data is from 2008. Looks like everyone from Gloucester County NJ is retiring to Arizona or Florida. Clever use of color as an indicator - red for outbound, black for inbound. Makes it easy to tell at a glance […]
Hooked up a new backup drive to my home pc and started getting a bunch of “Event ID - 51 - An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation” errors. Kind of tough to debug but here’s how I figured out what was going on:
1. Right clicked on “My Computer” and […]
Top uses for my (yet to be purchased) iPad:
1: TV viewing. You just know that Netflix is eventually going to stream to this device. Plus, I’ll be able to give it to my kids if they want to watch TV in their rooms.
2: Web browsing. In this case I think the main advantage is portability. […]

One of my friends called the other day with the doomsday scenario. He’d run into some spyware issues and had to restore his PC from the recovery disk. The restore worked great, but since the computer was now in an ‘out of the box’ state, his old data was gone. I didn’t have much hope […]
I love Nicholas Felton’s annual reports. The graphic design is impeccable and the minutiae contained within is fascinating. A provocative, beautiful depiction of how moments accumulate into years and years into lifetimes.
I’m creating a Wordpress theme for a client and she’s requested different header images on each page to break up the monotony of the site. Checked out Wordpress help and found that you can refer to the slug (or title) of a post using the following php code: $post->post_name
Adding this to the body tag then […]
I recently switched from Comcast to FIOS for my tv, phone, and internet and it’s been a (mostly) smooth transition. I’m still not crazy about the limited on-demand lineup, but Verizon’s internet connectivity/speed and phone performance has been much better than Comcast’s. The only real problem I had was with the Verizon wireless router - […]
