Minneapolis Getting Comcast Love
This rolled by in my newsfeed a few days ago and caught my eye. The New York Times had a short piece on Minneapolis getting some new high-speed options from Comcast. I found the release on Comcast’s website about it as well.
Comcast is rolling out this new DOCSIS 3.0 technology and it promises to give us 50 megabit download speeds. That’s a whopping 10x on what I get now on a regular basis. The service is about 2.5x as expensive as well, but I’d seriously consider the upgrade.
I checked out my service area and this isn’t an option for me yet. Does anyone see this as an option yet? Supposedly it’s available now.
Funny that using OS X still makes me so much happier than any other OS I use on a regular basis.
Mac Pro going into the shop for diagnostics and repair. Apple TV being swapped today.
My computers are turning on me and its ugly!
Wow - if you “Restore to Factory Defaults” an original Apple TV you are left with v 1.0 on it. Eek…
Still thinking about Into the Wild from last night. What a movie. Think I need to read the book.
Anyone know if you can change Time Machine in Leopard to run while on battery power? Only running when plugged in is screwing me up.
Ugh – finally gave up and made an appointment for my Mac Pro. This has to be a hardware issue.
Good Luck to Hector in Ironman Arizona
My brother-in-law Hector is racing in Ironman Arizona this weekend!
On Sunday morning he is going to do the epic 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run. It’s a pretty amazing feat, and it’s his 2nd Ironman (he did Ironman Wisconsin last year).
His bib number is 297 and you can follow his progress yourself at Ironman Live.
Hector’s put in countless hours of training, and having one Ironman under his belt is no longer a rookie to the race. I expect he’s going to do awesome.
Good luck Hec! Rock it!
Update: Hector just finished the Arizona Ironman. He put in an awesome time of 10:57:50 and placed 191st position overall. Awesome job dude! I’ll add a link here to his post-race write-up in a few days.
CSSEdit just saved me major pain and anguish. Happy.
Continued refining and thinning of household “junk”. So much more to do. Simplify.
Tammy is doing her first iMovie project and it looks really great. This is why iMovie made the right move. Timeline, schmimeline.
Why is it so predictable that the one button Mazie would be most obsessed with on my MacBook Pro is the POWER button.
One of the tweets highlighted in my MarketWatch Farewell Video.
- Just reinstalled my Mac Pro and my dreaded video problem persists. I’m worried this is hardware related. Ugh.
- Slowly rebuilding my Mac Pro. Tedious, but not terribly unpleasant.
- Worth noting, my Mac Pro video problems persist although it isn’t freezing at least as much. I’m almost positive a repair visit is needed.
Very annoyed that I cannot just download a Google Earth installer anymore. You are forced to download the Google Updater and use it!?
Reading about directed acyclic graphs.
Question: is there ever a case where “utilize” is more appropriate than “use”?

Matinee movie! Leatherheads.
