About

Hello everyone, I’m Cody.  I am a 25 years old originally from Center, Texas currently residing in Frisco, Texas.  I am currently the Sales Manager for Staples in Frisco.  I attended Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas from May 2003 to December 2007.  I was recently married to my lovely wife, Kaylie, in May of 2008.

In case you haven’t noticed, I love technology.  The affair started when I was in elementary school when I was introduced to the Apple II.  My life has not been the same since.  Growing up I passed many milestones from my first soldering iron to building my first computer.  However, for the past 5 years I have been focusing my attention to Apple hardware and OS X development.  I have not completely swore off PC’s, I have just refocused my dedication.

I started this blog in 2005 to share my thoughts, concerns, tips and reviews with others and enjoy healthy conversation concerning the topics covered.  I have encountered multiple issues with this blog.  However, I have recently recovered from a complete database failure (April 2008) with my former hosting provider.  I have taken all the steps necessarly to ensure that I do not face that issue again.  I currently have both my domain and hosting with MT (MediaTemple).  

Personal Tech

My primary computer is a MacBook Pro.  I normally have this machine at my desk on my mStand and connected to my Dell SP2008WFP 20″ monitor.  I also use a Nikon D40 and Sony T70 for all of the pictures that you will find on my photos page.  My primary phone is a 2nd Generation iPhone 16GB white.  I also have a 40GB Apple TV and I have a custom install of iTunes on my HP MediaSmart EX470 Windows Home Server that streams content to the Apple TV over my D-Link DIR-655’s 802.11N network.  I have also added a Vista x64 machine to my collection.  It is a HP a6540f, AMD Tri-Core with 4GB of RAM. 

What’s under the Hood?
