Crank Ringtone

I saw “Crank” (great action flick with Jason Statham) when it came out in theaters like 2 years ago… But, I hadn’t seen it since then.
It’s a 100% guy movie, and it’s unique enough to be an interesting watch.
Anyway – I re-watched it today because I woke up way too early, and it was available [...]

Overall a pretty quiet day, and then I misused the shutdown command.
At our Lansing branch, there’s been a computer on for a few days that still has [...]

Consolidating Gmails

I’ve been using Gmail for a pretty long time now.  And over the years I’ve accumulated several random gmail addresses (palmerforpresident@gmail.com; eric.vanbergen@gmail.com; vanberge@gmail.com, vanberge@comcast.net, etc.)
So today I finally took a much needed step to combine all those accounts into my main Gmail account.  First, I set every one of my other gmail addresses to simply [...]

Google Chrome

While I am not the biggest fan of the name, I am completely sold on Google’s new web browser: Chrome.
I can’t believe I didn’t hear about this sooner, But this morning on FOX17’s morning show I heard “Google is planning to launch a new internet browser… etc.”  And that it was launching TODAY.  How could [...]
