Back in May Kara got me a test kit for National Geographic’s “Genographic Project” for my birthday. I got my test results back today. The above is the journey of the different Y-Chromosone markers in my DNA. After watching the video I learned that “my people” the Cro-Magnons conquered the Neandertals and took over europe just before the last ice age when they survived in Northern Italy. I’m a part of M343 (Halogroup R1B). Super interesting!

Good news from yesterday: We finally get a sneak peak at OS X Leopard! Apple’s new OS, which will ship in Spring ‘07. Check it out here. Windows users, take a look at what windows will be able to do in... oh five years or so. As usual there is good reason to watch Steve Jobs’ keynote, not the least of which is the introduction of the Mac Pro which replaces the PowerMac G5.

Really, I do. Well at least what town you’re from. Google Analytics is one of my favorite time-wasters, and I thought I’d post a picture of who’s looked at my site this week. Someone in China checked out chuckp3.com this week, along with a Canadian and someone from Plano, TX! Who are you people who actually visit this site? Until Google Analytics came along I thought I had a few friends and family visiting, but apparently my audience is a bit wider. If you’re a regular reader and I don’t know you, leave a comment and tell me how you found my site and why you keep coming.

Have you ever bought a “Universal Remote” only to find out that it wasn’t? I know I have. So instead of three or four remotes you really just cut it down to two or three. Well look no further than Logitech’s line of “Harmony” remotes. I picked up the XBOX 360 version (which has the XYAB buttons added in). You plug this puppy into your computer (Mac or PC) via USB and then add all your devices on their handy online setup. Then you create “activities” with all your devices.

For example I have an activity called “Play XBOX 360” when I select that the remote turns on the TV, My XBOX 360, and the Sony Receiver (all while turning the TV and Receiver to the right inputs). Then if I select “Watch TV” it will turn off the XBOX 360 and the Sony Receiver and switch the TV to the right input. My friend at Best Buy said “if they made it, make it, or will make it this remote will control it.” So far he’s been right, and I love it! It will even control lights/fan if you’ve got that on a remote.

I was over at macrumors.com today and saw this. If it’s real and this is the next big things for apple (along with movie downloading from iTunes)... sweet.

Well after several tweaks, I got MacJournal working on my blog the way I wanted to. Not necessarily the easiest of programs to set up, but thanks to Eric I got it to work. The only difference is that from now on the entire post will be shown, no more “keep reading...”
