My eyeTV Hybrid showed up today, so I set that up this evening. I don’t have a decent antenna at the moment, so it was only able to pick up a faint HD signal while inside the house. I’m going to slap on a better antenna later this week. I did hook it up to [...]
We picked one of these up yesterday in a HD TV+Camcorder deal we cooked with the Sony Store. I did alot of searching on the net about the new AVCHD format it uses, but all I could determine was that only the Windows based software it ships with can pull the video off the Camcorder [...]
Today, I’ve joined the Crumpler cult. Last week, an Ask Slashdot was posted about carrying your IT gear with you. Since getting into digital photography, I’ve been carrying a Timbuk2 messenger bag, along with a LowePro ‘Slingshot’ photo bag. Add in all the IT crap (Airport Express, Mice, USB2Serial dongles, etc… ) and I end [...]
My MacBook arrived today @ noon, and I had a flight to catch at 6pm. So this was real trial-by-fire – I migrated stuff off my ThinkPad, but I still took it with me because I didn’t knew I couldn’t get everything off it. First things first -battery life seems to be about 3:30 given [...]

At last year’s KeyNote, he announced the Mac Mini, of which I bought 2 as soon as the Apple store would let me. I’ve grown quite attached to mine, and my Mom [...]
Frequently, I find I need to increase the size of my XenU virtual disks. Luckily, this is dead simple – while it can’t be done while the XenU is booted, it only takes 30 seconds. Given you want to expand a virtual disk called filesystem.image by 1024MB (1G), do the following: 1. Shutdown the XenU [...]
For those looking for our photo Gallery, it lives at http://ken.bantoft.org/gallery/gallery2. It’s got shots of our travels, as well as most of the events I attend.
Got one decent shot of Shinobi, before she decided my Messenger bag was more interesting to play with.
Van bought me a Lensbaby 2.0 as an early Xmas gift, so I wasted part of this evening playing around with it. Alex dropped by to return my Canon 75-300 lens, and he managed to take this (unflattering) shot of me.
