The Google.com landing page has this animated picture of the ocean where the letters in the work "Google" represent the windows on a submarine.

I noticed that it had among other things a DVI connector and while I assumed it was a DVI output, I didn't recall the... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2010/01/using_the_hdmi.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2010/01/using_the_hdmi.html Computer Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:57:02 -0800 I was at PDC09 this year and while the conference was quite good, I think it's safe to say that the high point of the conference was the giveaway of a brand new Acer 1420P laptop. The laptop is pretty... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2010/01/setting_up_3g_o.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2010/01/setting_up_3g_o.html Computer Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:08:34 -0800 Well, devoted readers, the Hefe is back. That's right, just like good old General Doug MacArthur I have returned. So where exactly have I been? Sadly nowhere, just not here writing. My writing was getting a bit splodgey (sp?)... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2010/01/hefes_sebatical.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2010/01/hefes_sebatical.html Sun, 03 Jan 2010 19:53:36 -0800 I was shocked by the events that led to the death of young Arthur Grant on a BART platform in the chilly night air of South Oakland. The fact the there were so many people sitting on the train watching... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2009/01/bart_police_sho.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2009/01/bart_police_sho.html Thu, 08 Jan 2009 20:52:50 -0800 Last week my Auntie SanSan sent an email to Hefita introducing her to a genealogy project she was working on. She had entered some family data for my side of the family and was inviting Hefita to add information about... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/is_genicom_safe.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/is_genicom_safe.html Tue, 30 Dec 2008 12:41:46 -0800 My nephew, Joe Reister (Joe Jose to the family) is a writer. He's been working on his craft for a while now and has written a number of remarkable short stories.

He seems to focus on every little sound and instead of embracing the quirks of a classic car he finds every little squeak an annoyance or some... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/classic_hefito.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/classic_hefito.html Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:50:27 -0800 Today is the last day.

Mostly I learned that even if your car is 30 years old, it is still possible to find parts if you know where to look. Here is a list... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/great_places_fo.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/great_places_fo.html Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:08:10 -0800 The bug has been acting up lately. It has this miss in it that is pretty hard to understand. It started on a drive home the other night and got worse the next day. Hefito insisted that we take it... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/odd_bug_problem.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/odd_bug_problem.html Sat, 13 Dec 2008 15:33:27 -0800 The other day a friend of mine mentioned that he couldn't find the flag of Kerblakistan anywhere. That led him to believe that perhaps they didn't have a flag. I told him that was nonsense and that every country has... http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/flag_of_kerblak.html http://www.hedgeek.com/archives/2008/12/flag_of_kerblak.html Travel Thu, 04 Dec 2008 13:17:58 -0800 The other night I got a call from The Sandpiper.
