Small Homes in the Future

I think that in the future more and more people will want to have homes like this. The size is right for a single person or a small family. Having a house with thousands of square feet may sound great on paper, until you think of how much it will cost to heat, cool, and maintain it. I have a dream of one day owning a small plot of land somewhat close to where I work and building one of these pre-fabricated buildings on it. No, not a mobil home, but something that could be thought of as a work of art.

An Affordable Mac?

Ok, when was the last time you saw ‘affordable’ and ‘Apple Macintosh’ in the same place? Yeah, I can’t remember either… If the rumors are true, then Apple will be offering:

  • G4 based 1.25 GHz slim line box
  • 256MB of RAM
  • USB 2.0
  • FireWire 400
  • 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet
  • 56K V.92 modem
  • AirPort Extreme support

Sounds like the perfect entry level Mac! I have a Mac compatable DVD burner in a Firewire enclosure so I’m all set.
Apple to offer a $500 Mac?

Tsunami Hits Thai South

As readers may or may not know, my wife is from Thailand. Her immediate family is safe as they were all in Bangkok when the wave struck. The only member that is currently un accounted for is a cousin of her mothers, we are all hoping to hear from her soon.
