Ninja 1000 watt professional blender review

Apr 15, 2011 by Paul White

Blender design has come a long way.  I like many have suffered for years using the traditional bottom blade style blenders.  These blenders would mix your smoothies, but if they were too thick, they would suck an air bubble down to the blade where it would free spin, and mix nothing.  Of course you would have to stick a fork or something down so the air bubble could be released, making the whole process of blending a smoothie very tedious and time consuming.  Well my friends the day has come.  I present to you the Ninja Blender.

Apr 13, 2011 by Paul White

After being colocated at Internap's Houston Datacenter with FastPCNet for 6 months I feel I have enough experience to give an honest review of the two companies, and their customer support.  So if you have a server and are trying to find a good great The Best datacenter to colocate it, Call John with Fast PC Networks.  He will get you taken care of.

Verizon Thunderbolt and LTE Benchmark Very Fast

Mar 27, 2011 by Paul White

A buddy of mine ( Thomas ) recently upgraded from his old HTC Touch Pro 2 to a HTC Thunderbolt.  Going from Windows Mobile 6.5 to Android 2.2.  I thought this move was a good one, and I asked him to send me some benchmarks on how his new phone performs on Verizon's LTE network ( real 4G ).  What he sent was unbelievable. 

How much traffic can a single server handle

Mar 22, 2011 by Paul White

This question is one of the most asked questions I hear from non IT people.  Of course there is no 100% answer to this.  But what we can do is go through all the different bottle necks in a server and its network, to figure out the theoretical maximum performance of a server.

how to Root a mytouch 3g Slide

Mar 5, 2011 by Paul White

Recently I bought a Tmobile MyTouch 3g Slide off ebay for about $200.  Of course the stock 3g slide comes with lots of nice features, but lacks stuff like teathering and wifi router that tmobile would rather you not have or pay extra for.  The easiest way around this is to root your phone and then update it with one of the many custom ROMs available on the web.  Well let me just say that this rooting experience was not easy.  But if you are serious about getting it done and want the best tutorial to do it, I know just the place.

Mar 3, 2011 by Paul White

If you manage the Intelligent lights at a club or run a mobile DJ rig, you have likely spent more hours up on ladders changing bulbs than you want to admit.  You thought why has nobody taken a High power LED and put it in a mirror based scanner?  Well my friends the time has come!  A new company SDE Lighting has finally built the fixture we have all dreamed of!  Read this for the full detailed specs.  Don't waste another penny with American DJ, Chauvet, High End or Martin.  The guys at SDE Lighting have made an 60 watt LED Intelligent Scanner, and priced it at about $325.

How to Stop Female Constipation

Mar 1, 2011 by Paul White

The other day a friend was nagging me about how I don't drink enough water.  Its normal for me to power through my day consuming Octane Energy Drinks, and coffee.  And stopping for occasional snacks ( crackers with peanut butter and honey ).  But then it dawned on me, there is a huge misunderstanding of what dehydration really is.  If you suffer from constipation ( I am talking to you ladies! ), then you might want to read this.

Intelligent DMX Lights Review Website

Feb 11, 2011 by Paul White

I have been working with DMX controlled intelligent lighting fixtures for years, and if there I know its that no two fixtures are alike.  Each fixture has its strengths and weaknesses.  The amount of time I have spent searching for fixtures that meet my requirements of both price and performance is obscene.  I have realized that what we need is a website that has detailed specs on all lighting fixtures, so we can easily compare fixtures apples to apples.  When I get some free time I will build a website that does this.

La Crosse BC-700 NiMH Battery Charger Review

Feb 10, 2011 by Paul White

In this modern day everything is powered by batteries.  Especially if you have kids.  Every toy these days requires at least 3-4 AA, AAA, C, or D batteries.  There is no reason to buy regular old single use Alkaline Batteries.  This is because rechargeable batteries have come a long way in the past 10 years.  But before you go off and buy yourself a pack of Energizer Rechargeables, there is something you need to know.  All batteries are not created equal, and the same goes for chargers.  If your set of rechargeable batteries seems to no longer hold a charge, it could be it has developed a memory.  However if you have the La Crosse BC-700 AA / AAA Battery Charger, then you can usually refresh these batteries removing the memory making them like new.

Bulk import IPs into your Windows Server 2008 R2 Firewall

Feb 4, 2011 by Paul White

If you are like me you take server security very seriously.  You lock down all your ports, and you even firewall IPs that try to use exploits.  But eventually you determine that non of your clients do business in China or Russia, and its easier to just block those countries, rather than trying to block individual IPs.  Well this brings another problem.  Windows Server 2008 R2 has no user friendly way to do a bulk import of IPs.  Luckily I found a VB script that you can run and it will automatically add the IP blocks you want to block.
