Some Ideas for Mice
It seems like the Mighty Mouse has been pretty much deemed a disappointment. The main reasons being: The scroll ball is a bit small and hard to use. It’s still really only one button. It’s wired. Here’s a couple ideas for a scroll mouse that gives you lateral scrolling: Touchpad mouse: Build a touchpad into […]
Lossless Bitrate for a Lossy Audio Format?
Something I’ve always wondered about lossy audio compression like AAC, MP3, ATRAC, and the like. Is it possible to have a high enough bitrate such that you are guaranteed to lose nothing? From my understanding of how most of these work, you take an input signal, and then transform it into another representation, then prune […]
UE Super.fi 5Pro update
I’ve had a few more days to listen to these, and today I tried driving them with my Total Bithead headphone amp. They sound even better on these, much more full base and clarity, but they also make, as Ramesh noted, the backround hiss of the bithead really obvious. The hiss on the Bithead is […]
Gallery 2
I, like others, manage a gallery for other people I know — mainly, my family members. I personally use smugmug, but since I can’t really effectively share my smugmug account, I still use gallery for everyone else’s pictures (plus dreamhost just upgraded us to 20G, so there’s plenty of room). The new embedded Java-based upload […]
Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5Pro review

Macally iceKey 10 second review
I just got my iceKey delivered to me and I’ve been typing on it for about 2 minutes. First impressions.. it feels pretty nice. The keys are nice and light, and it feels much less straining though I feel like I’m still pressing too hard. Packaging: I’ve come to expect high quality packaging from buying […]
Azureus settings
Azureus has so many settings that its hard to figure out how to optimize your download speed. I think I’ve settled upon some settings that work pretty well (after reading through many forums with posts containing highly uninformed speculation) I have a 1.5mbps down 768 kbps up DSL line. So I set my max outgoing […]
A trick for peeling a boiled egg.
Maybe I’m just slow, but this always took me at least a few minutes per egg, chipping away piece by piece of the shell. As I was searching today for the recommended amount of time for boiling an egg (12 minutes for a large in simmering water, 13 minutes for an extra large, btw), I […]
