The other night, we went out to Denny's for a bite to eat, and the second "N" on the sign out front was out. Does that make it Den Y's?

I tried to update my iPod yesterday with version 1.1.1 of the software (my iPod had 1.0), but when it was finished my iPod crashed. It showed a picture of a folder with a warning triangle on the corner, with the Apple iPod support URL at the bottom. I called the Apple Store in Kansas City, and the guy there said that there could have been a problem during the update process, so I tried the update again. Every time I try, it does the same thing, with no changes, and at the end the updater says that the version of the software on my iPod is still 1.0. I checked the Apple iPod support page, and it says that it could have been caused when I disconnected my iPod from my PC.
But I can't restore my iPod because I have some of my data stored on it, instead of on my PC (about 20gb of my main data is on my iPod, because I only have a 10gb hd on my PC).

On Monday, Apple introduced the new 17-inch MacBook Pro, with a 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor, a 120gb 5400rpm HD and 1gb of RAM. It also has a 256 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 card, an 8x double-layer SuperDrive, one FireWire 800, one FireWire 400, and three USB 2.0 ports, all of it standard.

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector on dial-up

Saturday I got a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector and I just tried it out with my dial-up connection. It works great.

Photo-a-week is going down

I am taking down my photo-a-week blog that I created in January, because with the projects I have, I can't post to it that often. I would of said something in January, but I haven't been able to get on the web.

Apple - MacBook Pro

Apple has come out with the MacBook Pro which is the first Apple notebook with a Intel processor, and a built-in iSight.
The only bad point I can see is that it is missing a analog modem, but you can buy the Apple USB Modem.

More template modding

I just modded the links on the sidebar, and I've got a idea for a project to do for the science fair.
When I get finished I will try to post the plans here on this blog.

Engadget has already made 2 podcasts during (and at) CES this week.

I'm typing this post on my Palm T|X using my new wireless keyboard, and it is working great. With my old Palm Tungsten T|3 the keyboard I had for it didn't work very well. The "0" and "9" keys didn't work at all, and the "8" key only worked sometimes.

Update: Engadget has made 3 podcasts this week at CES

Update: Make that 4 podcasts at CES

A few more things

I just got the Palm Wireless Keyboard in the mail (it was the mail-in offer that came with my Palm T|X), and I am typing this post on it.
Also I have created another blog called Photo-a-week, and I will post a photo each week to it.
Western Digital has a brand new hard drive at CES that is clear so you can see the platters inside it.
Also I have changed my template again, and I should have some different links in the sidebar over this weekend.
The science fair is coming up, and I'm looking for some robot projects that don't need any programming. If anybody knows of a project like this please comment.
