Zeke

What is Zeke? Zeke is my MacBook Pro, which has undergone countless revisions. The following is the tale describing how I came to meet Zeke (and Fiona along the way)…yes that was a Zoids reference.

Seriously though, this did you ever want to know about a computer scientist’s computer? Now, you can read about mine and see it in action!

Google Music

So, if you haven’t heard, Google has put their foot into the music game with their new service “Google Music.” Google music is like a giant iTunes in the cloud in which your library can wirelessly sync to android devices, you can buy new music for $0.99, and store 20K songs for free. So there […]

My MacBook Pro Was Terrible

A Personal Anecdote from Zach Bornheimer: You may think that this article will bash Apple, but it only will for about 40%.

Onscreen keyboard 2. Directional sencing 3. AutoCorrect/Suggestions 4. Magnifier 5. MultiTouch Capabilities 6. WiFi 7. Built-in apps (even if you don’t have the […]

Learning PHP … My Take On It

As a computer programmer, I enjoy learning new programming languages and this was probably one of the easiest programming languages to understand. I am not done learning PHP, but it was a very good thing for the site. After writing dozens of html pages, PHP was a nice break from it.
