In this case we had a problem with iMove not sending videos to iDVD on a new MacBook Pro. My wife struggled for a while trying to figure out the problem and so did I. Then, I realized the problem was one that I had created. For my wife’s birthday…

Updated 05/25/2011: Save yourself time, money, and frustration by checking out my latest solution. A couple of months ago we added a small LCD HDTV to the bedroom. We’ve done fine with just a DVD player and an indoor HDTV antenna, but I wanted to be able to watch DirecTV…

Last week I received a copy of Heavy Rain via GameFly. I finally sat down to put in some hours with Heavy Rain last Sunday. So far it’s lived up to my expectations and I don’t think it’s been over-hyped. One of the reasons I decided to own a PS3…

The first Mass Effect was one of my all-time favorite games. It has a compelling science fiction story, amazingly realistic characters, and uncountable nods to some of the best science fiction movies and stories. Within the week that Mass Effect 2 was released I purchased a copy. So far I…

Yep. It’s possible. It’s not as good as using an HDTV with HDMI input but it will work if your LCD monitor has a DVI connection. I came across this on accident when I needed to connect my work laptop to an external display (but I forgot my DVI adapter).…

Continue reading →: On GameFly and GameStop
Last summer I signed up for the single game subscription via GameFly. It’s the same concept as Netflix but for console games instead of movies. So far I’ve been very satisfied with the service. I have the same problems as with Netflix, but they’re not problems with the services themselves.…
