After roughly a year of blogging on Lockergnome, I’ve obtained a domain of my own, themattsmith.net, and will now be publishing content there. I do plan on continuing to maintain this site - it just won’t be my primary home on the Internet anymore.
Also, a special thanks to everyone who has ever read, visited, or commented [...]
I’m a 24 addict. Naturally, I was glued to my 32″ HDTV for the past two nights watching the season premiere of Season 7. All I can say is: Wow. These past four episodes totally blew me out of the water, and, in my opinion, will totally make up for Season 6, which I saw [...]
While reading the boxee blog, I came across an interesting opportunity that I decided to take advantage of. boxee is selecting two users to accompany them to CES 2009 in Las Vegas. Requirements? They wanted to see a short, sixty-second video explaining why boxee is the ultimate media center platform. Here’s the final cut of [...]
Bookmarking a page used to mean hitting the “Bookmark” button and throwing the page in a pile of links. However, I recently took the time to re-invent the way I think about my bookmarks. Doing this allows me to have a comprehensive organization system, so when I’m looking for something, I simply navigate to the [...]

Copies of other apps
Unique, useful, and well written
As the App Store has [...]
I am currently in the process of recovering from a recent reformat. While most people find reformatting a dull, painful, and slow process, I actually take enjoyment from wiping everything and starting over. When using a computer, debris tends to accumulate as time passes, especially for power users like myself. Reformatting gives me a chance [...]
When Steve Jobs introduced the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros in Apple’s most recent media event, a surprising new feature was added to the lineup. All new Apple computers from this point forward will include a Mini DisplayPort port for audio and video transmission.
I have never been a huge fan of DisplayPort. HDMI is THE industry [...]
I was at the AT&T store here in Atlanta earlier today, and was looking at the Microsoft Surface out on display. I had never seen one up close before, and was very impressed. The physical design of the Surface was excellent, and the UI was surprisingly slick. I was having a nice experience, when a lady walked [...]
Status symbols have always meant a lot to certain people who can (and sometimes even can’t) afford them. The iPhone used to be considered such a symbol when it was first released. However, time has passed, the price has decreased, and more and more iPhones are showing up in the hands of consumers. And in [...]
For anyone that needs a powerful computer at a reasonable price, building your own system is the obvious way to go. You can spec the build out with the exact components you want, so the system will be perfect for what it was intended for. And on top of that, you get to dive into [...]
