So, I was watching a video at work as part of my training yesterday using my Jaybird Bluebuds X In-Ear Headset without any problems on a brand new MacBook Pro 13-inch. I started work today where I left off and the audio was choppy. I disconnected these Bluebuds from my Mac and connected to my […]

Getting SpeedFan to start in Windows 7/8.x
I have been a big fan of Almico’s SpeedFan for probably as many years as it’s been out. I used to be in love with the app because I overclocked the heck out of my computers and wanted to keep track of various temperatures: CPU, GPU, Chipset, Case, and others. I also wanted to keep […]
Speed up your Android’s Chrome Browser
I’m not normally looking to make changes like this… who am I kidding? Of course I am. I’m a speed freak. I love pushing my technology to the limit.

Fixing Explorer crashing due to MKV files
Could I have finally found the solution to my problem that has been plaguing me ever since I started messing around with MKV files? It seems that traversing around my filesystem, in folders that have an abundance of MKV files, my explorer.exe would crash, at least 66% of the time. I’ve tried disabling thumbnails for […]
Beware IE7 Standalone on Windows 7!!
So, I wanted to test something at work using IE7 as a standalone app since you can’t have multiple versions of it running in Windows (we’ll get to this later). I had previously been using IE7 Standalone on Windows XP and loved it. I had no idea it would hose some file registrations in Windows […]
Switch Tabs in Google Chrome Keystrokes
Ever wanted to keep your hands on the keyboard and navigate your tabs in Google Chrome? Well, I try to keep my hands on the keyboard as much as possible, so I took to Google to search for this, and wallah, it led me to this info: To switch to the next tab: Ctrl+Tab or […]
