Burning Retina’s
Well after 8 years of owning my Viewsonic 19″ CRT the life expectancy has been steadily decreasing to the point now where after 2 hours of working on it, my eyes would be on fire from looking at it. After a tuesday morning chat with Grendel I decided that yesterday was the final day for my eye strains.
I read through all the reviews on which ones are the best etc… which I usually stand my ground on, but this time I ended up letting my eyes tell me which one was the best choice for me. So after gazing at probably 5 different models I ended up buying a SONY SDM-HS74P/B. My main decision beside the eye comfort was that this one had a DVI connection as well as the analog one. This ended up working great with my GeForce 3 Hercules card that has been sitting dorment in my gaming machine that I never use.
Spread the FireFox
Unless you have been under a rock for the past month you have probably seen a lot of media about Spreading FireFox. They have lauched a 1.0 Release date and are excepting donations. The minimum donation is $30 but the best part about it, is that your name will be published in the New York Times when the full page article is released. So if you wish to make your donation head on over to http://www.spreadfirefox.com/ .
They will send you a hi res PDF version of the article the day its published. But I think it would be just as good to have a real copy of the NYT.

Zen 2
Well since my last Zen decided to grow a pair of legs and walk away I have been hoping that some kind of insurance would cover this, which in fact nothing was. So luckily I was able to order myself a new one, this one is shackled down with belts and clips. Anyway my new updated model is very sleek and alot different. The touch controls are very cool once you get the hang of it.
My next item to get will be my SkullCrushers or something very similar. For now I resorted to a smaller pair of Paullips Noise Cancelling.
The debate again?
Was reading up on the beta releases of the next FreeBSD and stumbled across a guy who wrote up his beliefs on the bsd vs linux issues. Some obvious things we all may have known but a couple things that I also didn’t know.
All and all a good morning read while sipping some java .
Read Up!

Definitely worthy of a post…I’m more of a fan of “This Land” but “Good To Be In DC” rocks too:
