Useless Nexus has been reborn again. I think this is the third or fourth time. What can I say, I can't decide what to do with it.

I've got a few more things to work out. But it's almost there.

I've been using the beta version of EverNote for a couple of weeks now. EverNote is a notebook-like application that makes it easy to capture information from many sources in any environment using all kinds of devices and platforms and then make that information easily accessible and searchable.

If you are familiar with Google Notebook or Zoho Notebook then you will have some idea of how to use EverNote. But the "cool factor" with EverNote is that is has a client application that syncs up to the web to make your notes and clippings available offline as well as when you are online.

Scott Sigler's novel, Infected is about to hit the store shelves. "Infected" was originally podcast as "Infection" but the name had to be changed for book publishing due to another story by the same name.

"Infected" is the story of a mysterious disease that is turning ordinary people into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on strangers, themselves, and even their own families. Follow Perry Dawsey as he suffers through the infection and enjoy the wild tale that develops.

With some of out tax return money, we bought a refurbished Dell Inspiron 530 desktop, from the Dell Outlet store, with Windows Vista Home Premium and 2GB of RAM. We took the free shipping and expected it in 5 days. It arrived in 3 days.

It's 2.20GHz Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor is very snappy. Almost as quick as my MacBook in my wife's simple test against Webkinz World website. I know, unscientific, but since it will be my wife's primary machine, any benchmark that makes her happy makes me happy.
