Life with Bluetooth has proven to be a disappointment. Mostly because it’s kind of flakey and annoying. The Widcomm drivers completely destroyed the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. So I had no choice but to continue using it once I installed it for the first time. The other thing that got me is it would tell me every time I tuned on caps lock. Why I don’t know... but after I found the key in the registry I was able to turn that "Feature" off. The other weird company policy of the day is Symantec's treatment of GameSpy Arcade. Apparently they think its adware and promptly/automatically uninstall it. It took me over 2 hours to figure out how to stop it. Hopefully I got it fixed.
Here is the registry key to turn off the caps lock notifer.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General\KeyIndication = 0

Safe Hydrogen storage
This is a really cool development. Maybe we will finally be able to have safe hydrogen powered cars. Now if they could only make it cheaper/efficient to extract from water...

PSP Firmware Update 2
The Sony PSP’s WPA implementation is really buggy. I could only get WPA to work on my DWL-G730AP travel router but even then it disconnects all the time. It won’t connect to my DGL-4300 at all. Speaking of the DGL-4300. Firmware 1.4 is crap! Constant router reboots which seem to mostly be related to my Vonage service so I downgraded to 1.3. Oh yea the PSP doesn’t work with the 1.3 or 1.4 firmware for the DGL-4300 if you are using WPA.

Nyko DS Power Pack
Ok I finally found a nice set of hand grips for my Nintendo DS. These handgrips feel really secure. They do add some weight but they make playing GBA games 95% better. I don't typically like 3rd party stuff but this thing is top notch.
