In my office, there are a few poor saps in the unfortunate position to be working on Windows PCs. Leopard allows me to use them as print servers, so I can print to any printer they ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/11/09/hilarious-easter-egg-in-leopard-os-x-105/ Ok, so I upgraded to Leopard immediately after it's release as any self-respecting Mac Evangelist would. I absolutely love some of the new features (Spaces, Cover Flow View, Stacks, iChat improvements, Quick Look, the Widget thingy in Safari, etc.) Unfortunately, I'm having some problems with a couple applications... TurboCAD Pro simply will ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/10/31/os-x-105-leopard/ Ok, this is long overdue... I finished the Fixie project a couple weeks ago... just couldn't find the time to get the pix up. Here she is! Ain't she a beaut?! She rides great...very comfy which is kinda surprising to me. The comfortable ride probably has a lot to do with that ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/10/31/fixie-is-finished/ Can we get something straight here? How many times have you heard the phrase "I could care less"? The correct phrase is "I COULDN'T care less"! If you COULD care less, then you care a lot! If you COULDN'T care less, then you could not possibly care less than you do, which presumably ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/10/24/couldnt-care-less/ If you are, or if you're just wealthy and profoundly stupid, then I have a product for YOU! I came across this page of ridiculous audiophile gear. Lots of great links to things like tweeters that produce sound in the GHz range?! $160 ceramic knobs that elevate speaker cables off the ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/10/04/are-you-wealthy-and-stupid/ Here's the 1974 Concord Pro II frame after painting. Why yes, I AM a fucking great painter! I did a little red accent on the head tube which you can't see under the masking tape. It just occurred to me that the frame now looks like an olive. I also bought these ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/10/03/green-olive-green/ Yes, I said "fixie"! With some persuasion from my fearless girlfriend, I've decided to resurrect this kick-ass frame as a fixie, that is, a fixed gear bike. No shifting. No brakes. Just a pure and simple bike! Should be a blast! So this weeked, I completely disassembled the bike... Sawed off a ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/10/01/fixie-project-continues/ A few days ago I got a 1974 Concord Pro II from the original owner. The photo here isn't the actual bike, but extremely close. The only difference really is the handlebars. The guy I bought the bike replaced the original road bars with some ape-hangers. Stay tuned to see ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/09/28/my-new-bike-project/ I'm back. This is the first of many posts. We'll see... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2007/08/10/my-return-to-blogging/ Bones, Tuesdays, 8pm, Fox I watched 2 episodes of this drivel on the recommendation of a friend and I can honestly say, Bones is one truly shitty show... it's almost painful to watch. I've seen more interesting plots play out in a game of Clue. I am, however, not at all ... http://www.danielbrasic.com/2006/12/06/worst-tv-show-ever/
