Unimpressed with the HTC EVO 4G tested at a Sprint store: 1. It’s slow in all the annoying spots that Droid 1 is slow at. Gallery, opening message and phonebook, camera. Even with the 2.2 update. One speed improvement: adding an app to the main screen. 2. It’s too wide for me to grasp. Can’t…

How to take your bike from Los Angeles to Fair Oaks on the train
Quick note for poor souls like myself seeking to make a SoCal->NorCal biking trip: So yes, you can place your bike in the in-train bike rack, as well as the cargo area of the bus (contrary to what Amtrak customer reps will tell you) without boxing it.

the personal story appeal and 진정성
A funny thing at u.s. social justice orgs is the recent trend towards the personal.. strikingly similar to the politics of 진정성 in south korea. But in korea this approach was deemed a liberal failed agitational device that didn’t really bring about change in the consciousness of the people-passion without a clear objective. People who…

Windows 7 and Ubuntu on HP Firebird 802
Overall, setting up a Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux dual boot on the HP Firebird with VoodooDNA 802 was a breeze. Some observations about this desktop: So QUIET! It ranges from 10 dB (extremely quiet) to 30 dB (quiet room – my EeePc 901’s fan are this quiet), and you can sleep with it on.…

one thing from the @SimonEdhouse incident http://bit.ly/7C90Wf is that geeks don’t like PR people. how twitter (it’s overcrowded with IT and PR people) didn’t become a battlefield given this is a mystery.
