I don’t normally re-blog, but this video was just too great not to share with as many people as possible. The song is called “How to Kill a Brand” by Doc Adams, a parody sung to the tune of “How to Save a Life” by Fray. It sums up perfectly why the PS3 won’t be finding a home in my entertainment center.

I’ve been able to successfully install Vista Home Premium Edition on my X41 Tablet, and am REALLY liking the experience so far. I’m writing an article to help people decide if they’re ready to take the plunge, but in the mean time, I’ve gotten a lot of hits on my other X41 Vista post, so I thought I’d point people to a very helpful post I found.

Give Our Abilities Time has a great article on a couple of the pitfalls of installing Vista on this machine. Most notably, the relatively hard to find ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software v5.6 which is required to get the fingerprint reader working.

All in all, things are working pretty well, and I’m very happy with the overall experience.

I’ve finally had a little break and I really would like to write a full review of Zooomr, because I think it has a lot of potential due to the people in charge of it. (Thomas Hawk and Kristopher Tate.)

The problem is, I’m trying to merge my older GMail-based login with an OpenID login that Zooomr has migrated to and instead of combining them, it created a second account. Now I’m stuck having to send myself temporary passwords every single day.

I’ve tried their feedback email with no response now after over a week. I’d really like to get things together so I can write a good review when they release Mark III next month, so can someone get on this please? Thank you.

Update 2-11-07: Wow, that’s service! I was helped both the top guys at Zooomr, and we concluded that it was entirely my fault. The solution was quite simple, and I’m embarrassed to say that I managed to merge my Zooomr account quite a while ago with an alternate openID - one different than I’ve been using for a fair amount of time now.

So anyways, problem fixed, and I am really impressed with the great service I received. Seriously, how many companies have their CEO and Founder/Lead Developer helping out customers? Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.
