So, not only were PS3 owners subjected to a firmware update disaster, but early Dash Express adopters who recently downloaded and installed the JUN08 system update might experience constant rebooting after applying the update.  The kicker:  the only way to fix it is to have your device replaced.  Thankfully, the folks at Dash have consistently [...]

In (just) two short/long weeks, we will get our first taste of the latest Joss Whedon Joint.  I am not really sure what to make of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog.  But, I will certainly have my computer all gassed up and ready to go on July 15th when the first episode of this mini-mini-web-only-series is [...]

Well, you sure did make a fuss over Netflix dropping the Profiles feature about two weeks ago.  So much so that Netflix has admitted it was a tad hasty in that decision and has brought the feature back.  From the email that Netflix sent to subscribers yesterday:
“You spoke, and we listened. We are keeping Profiles. [...]

That is so _not_ Tit.

Looks like BostonGeek is headed to DragonCon this year.  Registrations have been made, postcards received, hotel rooms booked (the Sheraton, so invite us to the _good_ parties).  Unless there is an act of God (or other such omnipotent being), we’ll be seeing you in, as the young kids say, Hot-lanta.  

Dear Buddha,
It isn’t all that often that I write to you. I hope you aren’t offended. But, you see, when things are going pretty well for me… well, you know.
The thing is, I need to ask you for a favor. Please Mr. Buddha, do not let Troy Brown sign with Manginai and [...]

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Pi Day.
So, go home and eat Pi(e).

Some frontpage goodness on Boston.com. Not only are they giving props to local blogs but they featured a link to your favorite Boston blog (I hope you are thinking BostonGeek!). Thanks Boston.com!

Looks like the Natick Public Schools website was the subject of some cyber vandalism earlier today:

The site seems to be back to normal.

Forgive me if I am not full of holiday cheer. I may end up filling myself with plenty of eggnog though. Eh, screw it… maybe I should do straight bourbon. Oh, and also forgive me if Episode #102 isn’t posted soon, or maybe ever. You see, I was visiting my Mom [...]

Some say that if you let something go, and it comes back… it was meant to be. Well, how about recording a podcast? Well, this week’s podcast won’t ever come back (or something). Due to unforseen circumstances, we won’t be releasing this week’s ‘cast. Funny, it might the the podcast that [...]

VMware is sure to make an explosion in the market with it’s IPO tomorrow. The interest in this IPO seems to be reaching Google levels. Virtualization is hot right now, and VMware is considered by some to be the undisputed king in this space.
$29 buys you entrance to the show. This should [...]

I am little late with this info, but not too late.
If you pre-order an Ooma before August 10th, you will be guaranteed delivery of it on September 10th. Yes, YOU could be the first on your block to own one.
To place, an order… you actually have to pick up your phone and call. [...]

While I try to get a foothold on the database that kicked the bucket, I thought I would share my new BostonGeek kicks with you.
That is all.

Ok, we are having technical difficulties with the DB as a result of some recent maintenance (read: I goofed). Until I can complete repairs, certain things will be broken. The major things affected will be the Podcast page and the Beer Roster page. I will let you know when all is well. [...]

So, last night we had a couple visitors to BostonGeek Headquarters… none other than indie-gaming founding father Jared Sorensen (InSpectres, Lacuna) and Origins Award Winning Luke Crane (Burning Wheel, Burning Empires).
We were able to coax some information about their current collaboration, codenamed Donut, and should be able to share it with you shortly. Unfortunately, [...]

Looks like the featured article on the Wikipedia main page for June 21, 2007 is about our favorite city, Boston.
WikiPissah!

Aside from the lack of shiny, new hardware displayed during the recent Jobs Keynote™, the most disappointing moment of the opening morning of WWDC (which stands for World Wide Developer’s Conference) had to be the announcement concernning 3rd party application development for the iPhone. Being an audience full of application developers, you could feel [...]

Ok, so it is about 2 hours or so until all those within the range of the RDF begin refreshing sites that liveblog Teh Steve during his keynote at WWDC.    Let’s hope the intartubes can hold up.
Of course, headlining the keynote is expected to be some talk of the iPhone with its release date just [...]
