[This post was inspired by PC World republish of a Mac World article, “ How to Switch to Google Calendar ”] Hotmail is the largest email service in the world (unless you count Facebook ), but you never hear people talking about it or it’s calendar the way you hear about Gmail and Google...

I make not secret of the fact that I'm a Microsoft fanboy. I use a Microsoft Zune. I have several Xboxes (I kept 1 and gave 2 away). I use a Windows Mobile phone. This morning, my Microsoft Life got updated. I fired up my Xbox 360 and downloaded the new Xbox Experience - an entirely new dashboard...

I forgot to blog about these a while back when I initially saw them. First up there is the Institue for Advanced Personhood . "You're a person. So am I." This hilarious sendup of New Age meditation and self actualization centers is funded by grants from "International Handles, Microsoft Corporation,...

We both took a few hours off of work back on November 20th last year and took a beta version of the upcoming 71-631 Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Configuring exam. Well, turns out our scores just got posted and we both passed. Now he's an MCP and an MCTS (congrats man) and I'm an MCP, MCTS...

I picked up my brown Zune (which I creatively named BrownZune) on Nov 19th. 10 days later and I still love it. I play with it all the time. I'm downloading tons of videos with FeedYourZune, although I haven't yet mastered my desired playlist which leaves enough room on the device for all these movies...

MAKE Magazine already has several posts up about circumventing some of the Zune restrictions such as how to get the Zune to appear in your Windows Explorer . There are several other articles on the site, including how to put in your own larger hard drive and how to bypass the Zune to Zune wireless song...

Early adopter here, reporting on my Zune purchase. I've been debating an MP3 player for a while. I mean, I've actually got several portable music devices, but nothing with the right form factor and capacity I wanted. I have a tiny little 128 Mb player the size of a Zippo lighter that I can fit about...

This was just too neat not to post. I can hardly wait for the mobile version of this tool so I can run it on my phone. When you use an online mapping solution, which one do you use? MapQuest, Google Maps, or Microsoft's Local.Live? In my opinion, each has their own pluses and minuses. MapQuest has by...

It turns out that most people are not as paranoid about the Internet as I am, in fact most people run java-script, ActiveX controls, .NET controls, and even allow Cookies. This is fine until they navigate to a web site from their friends or children, which starts to cause the computer to act problematic...

I tried playing Call of Duty 2 online last night and had some fun with the Headquarters game. When the game ended, however, I was unable to sign back into any of the CoD game lobbies - the server was full. WTF!?! Someone has fallen down in capacity planning if the best selling game on the brand new,...

The game is a lot of fun. I've only been playing it for a few days so I really can't offer much of a review. If you want a real review, check this one out at GameSpot (my favorite games review site). Really, I just wanted to enter my one gripe with the game. It doesn't offer a multiplayer co-operative...

Windows Media Player has a decent quality list manager built in but when it comes to looking for songs you like, looking at long lists of song names and album names is really boring. Windows Media Center does things a little better with images of the album cover but you still have to have that cover...

It took me about an hour to get everything set up, but to be honest a large portion of that was me ripping out the old Xbox and my broken DVD player. Then I had to figure out where to put the Xbox. It's placement is constrained by the length of my digital audio cable, which might be all of four feet...
