Broken Mac Pro Latch

Posted on 2011-06-182015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

I just bought a used Mac Pro yesterday, and the latch that releases the side panel opened just great when I was looking it over. However, this morning, when I gave it a go to pop in a video card, instead of the satisfying thunk of the latch’s usual opening, I heard scrunch, and the…

What would you do with 100 Drobos?

Posted on 2011-06-102015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

Drobo is running a contest to give away a number of Drobos, asking the question, “What would you do with 100 Drobos?” I think the answer is not an easy one. Sure, anyone can say “I’d take all 100 and give them to charity!” or, “I’d store every movie ever!” These are good first thoughts,…

The Den

Posted on 2011-05-012015-08-18 by Mark Boszko

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield My rating: 3 of 5 stars At first I found the definition of Resistance (uppercase ‘R’) intriguing — a personification of the reasons you’re afraid to finish, why you procrastinate. As you progress through the book, though, the…

Home Made Egg Nogs

Posted on 2010-12-092015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

According to the taste test I did a couple of years back for an egg nog-focused podcast (that was, ultimately, never quite completed), we did several home-made nog recipes based on various combinations of dairy and liquor. The one that won our never-before-revealed taste test was this recipe from the folks at the marketing department…

Regarding Your Restaurant’s Website

Posted on 2010-11-272015-08-15 by Mark Boszko

Dear Restaurant, I really enjoy your comestibles! But your website makes it a little hard to find the information I need. When I go to a restaurant website, I’m usually out somewhere, hungry, accessing it from my phone, and I’m looking for these three things, in this order: Hours, so I can see if you’re…
