There’s been a lot of rumor going around the internet lately that the iPhone may make an appearance on Big Red’s cell network. What started this rumor? A blog out there, much like this one, merely speculating it could be a possibility, put up a post about how Apple’s iPhone division has been posting jobs…
Entrecard Market Reopens!
The folks over at Entrecard have been working hard! Lots of new features and policies have been rolled out lately, it would seem. One of the newest features is the Entrecard Market! If you’ve been an Entrecard member for some time now, you’ll remember there used to be a store where you could buy products…
Things to Do This Week
Got a few things on my plate this week. I’m digging in to try and get as connected as possible with the folks at IZEA and the IZEA Insiders – I’ve met a few cool people prior to this week (Drew at BenSpark.com, @Heather in BC) and I’ve started following some interesting people on Twitter…
MagNext Virtual: A Safe, Fun, Family-Friendly MMORPG
For what is essentially a flash game, MagNext Virtual is a pretty amazing concept. It’s a family-friendly game where a player is represented by a small virtual ball (that you can customize, but more on that later). You move the ball around the space with your mouse, and you can visit the virtual shop, or…
Linux for n00bs: Prepare Your Hard Drive
For the next part of our “Linux for n00bs” series, you’re going to be preparing your hard drive to install Linux. I may be taking a big leap here, but if you’ve been successful so far with burning the Ubuntu Install CD, you’re probably also familiar with the term “hard drive.” Usually, on any given…
Contest: Win a Trip for 4 to SeaWorld to Ride MANTA
Ted Murphy and some of the Izea gang went to SeaWorld recently to take a hard-hat tour of the still under construction awesome mega-coaster, Manta. The coolest thing about this new ride is that you are apparently riding laying straight out strapped to the underside of a giant manta, and you go through loops and…
Personal Announcement: Mom is Engaged!
It’s crazy. I was out cold as I am wont to do on a Saturday morning, and I hear “Gives You Hell” by the All-American Rejects. It’s my cell phone going off. This sounds terrible, but when I saw it was Mom, I almost hit “ignore” so I could get back to sleep. But I…
Too Many Eggs in One Basket
Sorry, folks. Where I’d hoped to put a kick-butt second installment to the Linux for n00bs article, is instead this silly excuse post. I think Friday work schedule being different from Monday – Thursday is going to take a little more getting used to again. I’m 11am – 8pm Monday through Thursday now, and 8am…
Linux for n00bs Prerequisites
I’m going to be doing a series of posts here over the next um… however long it takes, to introduce interested n00bs (newbies, neophytes) to the world of Linux. If you don’t know what Linux is, head on over to our good friend Wikipedia and have a quick read. That’ll save some time. For these…
Tomorrow Friday is 1234567890 – The End is Nigh!
Haha. Maybe. At 6:31 (P.M., EST) and 30 seconds tomorrow Friday, UNIX time will read 1234567890 and the apocalypse may very well be upon us. Actually, probably not. We won’t even really have any cool computer glitches to speak of, since Linux has been using 64-bit time for quite some time now, which means the…
